You would be foolish not to get vaccinated given what we know about COVID.

Nobody said anything about not getting vaccinated. The point of discussion here is about not rushing to do it the first day the vaccine is available.

So if not Day 1, when? 6 months out, 1 year out, 2 years out, 10 years out? What arbitrary standard should those who are concerned about long-term effects apply?

That's up to the individual to decide. I'm not trying to be prescriptive here: I"m talking about what I would do. If you want the vaccine on Day 0, by all means, do it. Risk tolerance is obviously a very personal and subjective thing, so "you do you".
