"Risk" has been almost exclusively defined in terms of hospitalization / death throughout the pandemic. Long term effects are poorly understood and not considered in risk calculations.

This. I cannot believe how myopic we have been. A lot of people are going to carry a lot of damage didn’t see fit to include it as a metric.

I don’t have under 65 evidence, but this study released recently for 65+ should make everyone question what it looks like to live with this virus going forward.
