literally no--evidence from a credible source to suggest that the possibility exists in terms of actual pathways to a long-term problem.
As someone who works in drug development, the FDA would laugh you out of the room if you said this. Nobody gives a shit what your theories are. Drugs are approved based on hard data, not theories and handwaving about what could or couldn't go wrong. Way too many drugs have been pulled off the market for reasons nobody could predict.
Bextra, a COX-2 inhibitor used for arthritis, was approved in 2001 and wasn't withdrawn until 2005 when it was found to increase the risk of heart attacks. It took 4 years and millions of people dosed before they found that long-term effect.
Now, I'm not saying people shouldn't get vaccinated against. I'm vaccinated. But playing it off like the risk of long-term complications is zero is just foolish.
