A recent preprint, “Immunological and Antigenic Signatures Associated with Chronic Illnesses after COVID-19 Vaccination” has fueled anti-COVID-19 vaccine rhetoric. It is being circulated by anti-vaccine advocates as proof that COVID-19 vaccines cause immunodeficiency and therefore, their claims for the past 5 years are validated.
Thank you for this. It’s helpful to know about the paper, and it’s rebuttal before being confronted with ThE pApEr.
Also this is THE ISSUE with preprints. We all want to know everything, and we want to know it before everyone else. This paper shouldn’t make it out of preprint, without significant changes, and probably not ever.
