“People are entitled to be wary with no long term knowledge. ”
The long term effects of COVID-19 are death and disability. Treatments aren’t very effective. I am glad you recovered but many have not been so blessed. Hopefully you have antibodies that will protect you from a repeat case.
The real uncertainly regarding long term effects of the vaccines are that we don’t know for how long the vaccines will provide protection. It could be lifelong, like the measles vaccine, or it could be necessary to be revaccinated every year, like influenza.
But I have been in this work for decades and I have not seen any medical treatment that has been shown to be so effective, with so few serious adverse events, ever in my career. If you question the vaccine’s safety or efficacy, then you basically should reject everything in evidence-based medicine.
