That's not how the Covid vaccines work. It's all a game of probabilities and you can still get sick. They may also help you get more easily through the sickness, but it's not a guarantee. Previously having additional health issues and age are also factors to take into account.

So maybe his concerns aren't completely without base.

And even if vaccines reduce the risk of long COVID, the risk is still there. 1 in 10 COVID cases leads to long COVID. It's about layers of protection against COVID, one of which is vaccines. The others are masks/respirators, good indoor air quality, testing, UVC lights, staying home if one is sick and so on.

Well,
especially if he has additional health issues he should go for his vaccine. Of course it's not a guarantee, but it lowers the risk for a serious illness significantly.

And it's still not an excuse to stay away from a courtroom.
