Then stop reading bad sources. They were all in nursing homes and many were terminally ill.
Ahh, that story about banning Pfizer is in the Global Times. The Global Times is run by the Chinese Communist Party's People's Daily newspaper, China is pushing it's own vaccine. Which isn't very good.

But it's OK for them to ship Covid-flavored ice cream:

When I first saw this story, I googled it for other sources, one of which was the NY Post
And yesterday, 762,615 pounds of hot pockets manufactured in the Kentucky were recalled because they had bits of glass in them. Recalls are quite common.

Pfizer's is fine. I'd prefer Moderna, which is what most sites in NYC have. J&J's looks substantially better than both. But not yet available and their production is way behind. The Oxford/AstraZeneca is questionable and not likely to be available in the US for quite some time.

Any reason why you prefer Moderna over Pfizer? Moderna is also my first choice for reasons I listed on BJ21 on the politics page. I don't know much about J&J vaccine, but I thought it was only about 70% effective. In my area there are two choices, Pfizer and Moderna. My brother is scheduled to get the Moderna vaccine next week. We will see how that goes. I'm out of luck as all slots are filled and they are no longer taking any more names for the waiting list.

I prefer one that doesn't have a slight chance of being compromised in handling. Although, I think that's unlikely. With J&J, 90% of participants made antibodies within 29 days after receiving the shot and all participants formed antibodies within 57 days. It only requires one shot. The two shot regimen looks iffy as the promised second doses supposedly in storage don't exist, and how do you even get an appointment for a second dose?

You make an appointment for a second injection prior to leaving the site where you received your first dose.
The discussion about which vaccine anyone wants to receive is mostly inconsequential. Most of us will accept whichever is offered to us first. My wife & I received the Pfizer vaccine a week ago. Neither of us had any reaction.
Problem is, they now say they are not keeping vaccines in storage for second doses, and the sites I've visited ask if you want first or second. But, it varies by state -- and even cities in some cases. But yes, I'll take what I can get.
