COVID IFR was always low. The CDC planning scenarios (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scena...) consistently showed low IFR for those under 50 even mid 2020 in their earlier updates. However this was obfuscated by alarmist journalism and divisive politics, as well as people confusing CFR and IFR. COVID wasn’t that dangerous ever, unless you were immunocompromised or elderly, or unless your measure of danger is based on a high risk aversion. There is the possibility of rare lingering side effects. However studies show that the worst side effects, like ARDS, primarily affect those who are obese or vitamin D deficient. You could make an argument that it’s the individual’s’ responsibility to manage their own risks and vulnerability for that. Alternatively you could say that those comorbidities are common enough that they require society wide management.
