This article was published in an anything-goes journal [1] by a crackpot [2] at a bottom-tier university.

At a glance, the article is ranting, not science.

An axiom: When the best that dissenters can come up with can't be taken seriously, the dissent only lends credence to the consensus.

Accordingly, get your jabs, children. The risk of vaccination is infinitesimal. Meanwhile, long COVID can be a living hell [3].

> The risk of vaccination is infinitesimal.

Agreed. But it IS there, and we (at least in the Netherlands) were told it was 100% safe, and you would become unable to spread it. Which were bold-faced lies, and we weren't allowed to talk about that online (literally; read up on the facebook statement yesterday or the day before, about government pressure to "delay" the story).

Also, on television nobody was allowed to ask critical questions about it, or they would just get cut off.

That's what I don't like, and why I didn't go with it. If they would've been honest, I'd have no problem. But they messed that up, and my trust in the officials of my country is 0 now.

We didn't live in the same Netherlands then.

My experience in the same country was completely opposite.
