There has never been a "killed" vaccine (not live attenuated like rubella) that has had reported long term effects that have held up under investigation. Pfizer is not a live vaccine, just a piece of protein from the virus. The risks are allergic, acute things, not long term. But the overall benefit outweigh the risks on a population basis.

For elderly that are sickly and those not elderly with a bunch of comorbidities..yes. But for the rest of the population..no. The average age of death with COVID is about 80. Let’s not make this virus into something like the plague. It’s a virus that we will NEVER be able to control..just like we have never controlled influenza. We routinely have had 30-60k deaths associated with influenza yearly..even with a flu shot. And if we counted all people who died while having the flu as deaths “because” of the flu..the numbers would be wayyy higher.
