A vaccine is "nothing" more than a way to tell your body what it needs to fight before it actually has to fight it. Whether that's via mRNA, DNA, dead virus, live virus, whatever. The method used to do that is less important than your body getting the message. If the vaccine causes decades-long effects, so will the virus itself. We're damned either way.

But still, is that really the answer? That there's no way to know about long-term effects until it's been out there for decades? I was kinda hoping there was an answer like "what we know from other vaccines is that any bad effects almost always show up in first few months -- never, or almost never, many years down the line."
