If you're of the opinion that it's an inevitability that you'll be forced to take a vaccine to avoid repercussions in your country, then the Astra one is certainly the least risky. Working by a mechanism that has been well tested in the past, even if the target is novel, leaves a lot less room for unexpected outcomes.
I'm not of the opinion that there's any evidence of big side effects that are being suppressed, unlike the election there's no glaringly suspicious activity going on to raise red flags in the results as reported. Everyone's findings seem consistent to the usual degree. The fertility concerns are not exactly settled, but there's particular no red flags there either, it's simply a "well we haven't done much to disprove it, because of the timescales". A handful of people have given birth after the vaccine, and a handful have miscarried, and a handful of others have gotten pregnant, all in numbers too small to be conclusive but all in proportions that at least aren't alarming on the surface.
The virus probably won't do a healthy <60 y/o much harm, but neither will the Astra vaccine, most likely.
