Can you do a sad nurse a favor?

I have a favor to ask. I have a daughter in engineering school. Very pragmatic. Her husband was bullied in November into getting vaccinated by his federally owned company and now she is feeling the push. It’s not helping that yesterday my adopted mom died “of covid” (many comorbidities, so more likely “with covid”) so now she is getting scared and wants me to take the vaccine with her because she has been doing a lot of “reading” on studies from places like NIH and isn’t scared of it anymore. Told her I am not taking the damned vaccine and it’s ON.

I’m taking care of ill family members with covid, processing grief and trying to juggle work (self employed) and I’m too tired and sad and overwhelmed to search on my own.

Can anyone send me some links that will appeal to a scientific mind? It has to be heavily credentialed or she will pooh pooh it as non-authoritative. I haven’t sent her a lot of the stuff I have seen-- it would just start the eye rolling—because mom, who has worked in the healthcare for 30 years knows even less than Jon Snow. I hoped she would find it on her own.

Evidentially she isn’t. So if she is thinking of getting the vaccine now, I am going to send her some data showing the other side. I can’t bombard her because she dismiss/delete it all. She has her mother’s temper.

I need a couple of inarguable studies or something to make her pause.

I know its unfair to ask you to do the work. I just can’t, today. I’m hoping someone out there already has them, set aside and can send me an easy link and it isn’t too much trouble. Thanks in advance. If it wasn't for GAW, I would have given up on so much, so long ago.
