Well, here are examples of longterm vegans:

thevegantruth? 😹 Yeah, you can have an unhealthy diet a long time before the reaper comes calling or your body starts to pay the price for it. Also, I'm not gonna take the word of cultists using their own experience as evidence.

Here's a study/article by legit people.

Basically without living in 1st world country and taking sufficient supplements, it's extremely unhealthy because you wouldn't be getting the basic nutritional needs that the human body needs. Even then, you would need to get regular blood work done in order to adjust your diet/supplement intake according to what you're lacking. If a person goes long enough with vitamin and mineral deficiencies, it can easily cause permanent neurological damage and organ damage. Veganism is a moronic diet that's unhealthy but if you want go by that numbnut diet, by all means. Kids are eating tidepods for clicks these days so what's the worse that can happen.

I was showing you an example of providing sources, your post made a claim that long-term vegans had to stop, and I should you that there were vegans who have lived for over 30 years with that diet. I also don't understand what the issue is with taking supplements, supplements exist specifically for that purpose. Also, I don't necessarily promote going all vegan, but I do believe that meat consumption is way too high as it is, considering its environmental effects:
