True but the same goes for covid itself. In fact we already know of long covid. Which we still don't know much about. We don't even know if it ever goes away. So there's a known long-term effect already.

The vaccines are a lot better understood than the virus. We don't know of any long-term issues so far.

It's still a much safer bet to get the vaccine IMO. And it will also help with the societal problem around the covid measures. We can't keep going on lockdowns for years to come. It will destroy the economy which has its own associated health risks.

These vaccines are not going to solve societal problems; they do not prevent spreading, and efficiency decreases as the virus mutates. COVID measures will stop when critical body of people finally realizes they are inefficient/too costly and not necessary.
