Whom and what to believe on this matter?

In an exercise in stating the bleeding obvious, there is a crisis of confidence and trust going on during these times.  For example, there is this:

The discovery was made in the first deep sequencing of the mRNA products, carried out by Dr. Kevin McKernan of Medicinal Genomics and his team. The researchers found that the vaccines were contaminated with significant quantities of biological agents known as plasmids.

Dr. Anthony Brookes, Professor of Genomics and Health Data Science at the University of Leicester, told the Daily Sceptic: “This is a solid piece of research by a very knowledgeable team.”

Are you, personally, expert enough to take that idea and run with it, quoting from this or that study to support your findings?  What will you conclude, personally?  It's obvious to someone from a different field, or even a different branch of that same field, that we just don't have the knowledge ourselves, so we must gather it from 'trusted' sources.

What are these trusted sources?  For me, it starts with those from within the medical profession vaguely in this area.  Even Leggy needs to be considered.

But the Fauci/Whitty/Hancock side trot out all sorts of studies with charts to argue the opposite, ignoring studies such as these above as aberrations. Logic would seem to indicate you don't run with something as dangerous as injecting an entire population on the strength of one side's politicised, govt preferred data, when there is more than enough counter-data to demand thorough 'independent' investigation over five to ten years.  Remember thalidomide?

 And you especially don't trust a govt which ups the ante with bull-in-a-china-shop rushes at this mass solution or that ... internment camps (otherwise known as care homes or nightingale hospitals), straight out of the USSR or nazi Germany and loss of jobs, refusal of medical treatment for other ailments ... and so on.

People who are perfectly happy to turn savagely on those questioning anything, screaming that we're far right fascist, racist, disablists.  I'm not an anti-vaxxer from some sort of camp?  I'm a 'gather all available data-ist' and see which way the discoveries lead. Empirical science in other words.  Officially, in NHS records, I'm 'vaccine hesitant'.
