Likely long-term results are not known yet. We've already had one vaccine potentially causing side effects that stopped the human trials for a while. (I think it was the Russian one. Please correct me if not)

It was the UK trials of the Oxford and AstraZeneca vaccine after 1 person experienced an adverse reaction - but that's the whole point of the trials and not uncommon so no major worry there, and they were restarted soon after.

On a separate note - the voting on this thread at the moment seems pretty wild with some seemingly innocuous comments being downvoted. I don't get it.

It’s just a political thing. You see the same behavior in threads about climate change. A seemingly innocuous comment to you is a firebrand political statement to someone who thinks the virus is a hoax or whatever.
