Do you have any long studies you can point to? Let’s go very short. 5 years or more?
The “The Science” crowd is so perplexing. You can’t believe in the upside in just faith. That’s exactly what you’re pretending not to do.

“So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
People are not doing science in lieu of faith. They are putting action to their beliefs and trying to improve the shared human condition.
Water wells do not build themselves.
Obviously this is not a good faith question.
And yes, we may find out that the vaccines are, over a long period of time, not perfectly safe. But we do have enough data to know they aren't super risky (at least for the vast majority), because big effects would be easy to see, and we do know that COVID is very risky. Classic economic thinking question: "compared to what?"
There weren't a lot of people trying to model that risk, but of the ones who were the vaccine looked pretty compelling as a better bet for the whole of the peak pandemic. And maybe it turns out that 15 years out from the vaccine everyone suddenly dies! But the expected value there is highly unlikely.
E.g. it almost certainly wasn't for kids at any point. For people who'd already had it and recovered, it probably wasn't.
For folks over 65 with comorbidities and no previous exposure, it was probably a solid win to get it.
Would it be a good idea for everyone to go out and get one today?
I'm still waiting to become magnetic! That and I want to shed spike proteins like a Pokemon.
Moderna was on the verge of bankruptcy because not one in the company’s history did one of their or any other mRNA trial make it past trials. Not a single one to pass phase 3 trials, before COVID.
Go ahead. Fact check me.
