I'm not sure where this position is coming from? What would be the mechanism of action to cause long term effects with these vaccines? What is your hypothesis?
Here's the real concern: It's possible the studies aren't large enough to 'see' all the possible side effects. We don't know for sure that the vaccine won't kill 1 in 100,000 kids because the trials didn't have enough people to cover that. In adults we only detected that signal for AstraZenica after widespread vaccinations were occurring and even then it took millions of doses and more than a few deaths before we really figured it out. The risk from the AstraZenica vaccine is greater than the risk from covid for healthy people under 40 when covid is under control.
It's possible that something like this can happen with children with the mRNA vaccine. The FDA in the US repeats the mantra: 'Children are not small adults' because they've learned hard lessons in making such assumptions. With that said, there is no mechanism of action that would cause adverse effects to occur years/decades later; These aren't prions. If something is going to happen it will happen in the first few weeks.
