What the\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0found regarding prior vaccines came with some important\u00a0discussion<\/a>\u00a0points. First, the authors pointed out that this tie to vaccines could, in part, be due to\u00a0survivorship bias<\/a>:\u00a0those who didn\u2019t receive vaccines were less likely to survive their infections, and, as dead people, could not\u00a0participate in these studies.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0collider bias<\/a>, the concept that a third factor that was not controlled for could affect the outcome,\u00a0could also impact these data, \u201csince the sample included only COVID-19 positive tested patients who accessed the hospital (healthcare workers included).\u201d\u00a0 The third factor, in this case, is that people who go to the hospital are more likely to seek out medical care, such as going to the doctor for a vaccination.<\/p>\n

The study itself also talks about how most other studies\u00a0show a negative association between COVID-19 vaccination and Long COVID, including a\u00a0study of 13 million people<\/a> that shows a decrease in Long COVID risk after vaccination, even if only a\u00a0slight\u00a0one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
