Incredibly good piece on how a paper on an honest attempt full of provisos to find if vaccines could also induce a "long-vax" (concluding: "possible unsure how big") got hijacked and eventually led to eg Musk sharing a tweet stating "this paper is proof that there is no long covid, only long vax"

Vaccine safety researchers know you have to follow the science, regardless of whether it exonerates or implicates a vaccine in a suspected side effect. They also know their work may be weaponized & misconstrued by people trying to undermine vaccine confidence. www.statnews.com/2025/02/24/p...
