It's a risk reward type of thing. If there are any long term effects, which we probably won't know about for several years out, it will matter a lot more to younger people.

The problem is that there are so many variables involved. Different ages. Different people with different medical conditions. The list is exhausting if you think about it. I think that between Moderna and Pfizer, approx. 75,000 people have been vaccinated. That's a good sample, but that will not cover every variance out there.
