The event happened less than a month ago. We don't yet know the outcome for each of those cases.

followup brain scans on participants in a study that began pre-covid, some number of whom had since had covid, and those who'd had it (even a relatively mild case) were invariably found to have experienced detectable losses of grey matter, with a slight bias toward the left hemisphere: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33869679/

on edit: other potentially highly negative and long-term health effects even if vaccinated, "long covid" symptoms can present in the vaccinated.
