I smoked, did Cope, drink beer, did autobody repair as a teen and inhaled all kinds of fumes, probably exposed to asbestos as a HVAC tech. What's one more thing to add to the list?

You have to look at both sides of the equation.
On the vaccine positive side:
Faster opening of the economy/schools
Near elimination of hundreds of thousands of deaths
Near elimination of millions of hospitalizations
Near elimination of longer term covid symptoms
On the vaccine negaive side
A fairly high rate of mind symptoms
A very low rate of more serious symptoms
A near zero rate of deaths or hospitalizations
Unknown long term consequence
The positives far outweigh the negatives. Only the long term consequences are not a slam dunk for the vaccine. There is nothing to suggest that there is any significant risk that those long term consequences will approach the death, hospitalizations, and long term health issues of covid itself.
