This is not our first rodeo with vaccines. So we do in fact have excellent reasons to believe they don't cause delayed long term effects. That is, if there were long term effects, they would manifest themselves in short order. There's no biological mechanism for a vaccine to lurk in hiding for years and then suddenly cause a brain tumor or chronic inflammation or what have you.
"When new vaccines are released, the unknown side effects, if any, show up within two months of vaccination. This history goes back to at least the 1960s with the oral polio vaccine and examples continue through today." [0]
"First, when these [delayed side effect] events occurred, the onset was within eight weeks of receipt of the vaccine. Second, in all of these cases, except narcolepsy following H1N1 vaccine, the side effect of the vaccine was something that could be caused by the infection, meaning that getting infected with the virus also carried a risk of experiencing these outcomes. " [1]
"Forget adverse effects over five or ten years: the way your immune system works does not allow for such long-term safety concerns." [2]
