I understand the long-term concern but it needs to be balanced out with the known dangers of contracting COVID. While it's possible--if extremely unlikely--that the vaccine will have detrimental effects we <know> that COVID causes serious problems. Over 600k Americans have died, millions more have been hospitalized, and some people who have recovered still have long-term problems.

People who avoid the vaccine are akin to people who don't wear seat belts because they might drown if their car falls into the water.
