Why do you believe long term effects of covid be likely worse? What is your basis for that?

That’s because we are already seeing people recover from Covid having complications after, even if they had mild or no symptoms initially.

CDC information on chronic Covid-19

The CDC also has said that side effects of vaccines have so far showed up about six weeks out and serious side effects have been rare.

That’s why I said “likely”. We obviously don’t know for sure, and won’t until a time considered “long-term” has passed.

This was a thought-out, considered decision from me to get vaccinated, not something I did because someone told me to, weighing risks and benefits, and I waited until early June to do it. Everyone has to make their own choice. There are small amounts of risk, but that’s everything in life.
