The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

For years now, the world has known about both the dangers of long COVID and the potential benefits of the vaccine for combatting it. More recently, the British Medical Association published a study showing one pre-infection dose of an original vaccine can reduce the risk of long COVID by 21%, two doses by 59%, and three or more doses by 73%. If you want to protect yourself against this debilitating disease, getting vaccinated is the solution.

Time

Establishment-critical narrative

When dealing with complex phenomena like this, no professional should make absolute claims. Everyone, especially doctors, should acknowledge that other studies have found vaccinations to be one of the primary predictors of long COVID. If blanket prescriptions for all of society are made without analyzing opposing data, there should be no surprise when there's public backlash to vaccine injuries.
