What's even the point? More evidence isn't going to change anyone's mind.

You'd be surprised. My sibling wasn't anti-vax but was surrounded by, let's say less scientifically-inclined people (artists) and didn't get vaccinated.
Talking over the phone I got my sibling to actually research the topic (actual publications, not social media "do my your own research") and finally decided to vaccinate.
Some people are probably mostly lost down the social media conspiracy/politics rabbit hole but some aren't beyond looking at overwhelming evidence and making a reasonable decision based on it.

I need to preface this by saying that I am in no way anti-vaccine, and this has nothing to do with politics.
But...
I got my last booster about 3 weeks ago, and I have been messed up ever since. Apparently there is something called Long Vax Syndrome that is currently being studied. Fortunately I don't have some of the worst symptoms, but the fatigue is so real. Normally when I would get a covid booster I would be exhausted for about 24 hours, but this is unrelenting. I've never been this tired in my life, and it's honestly a struggle. I am really hoping something comes of the research and they figure something out because I don't know how long I can sustain this.
If it is anything like long covid my symptoms went away after about 2 months. Hopefully the vaccine variant is not as long.
But by week three I was starting to feel somewhat better.

Could we just say that all evidence confirms it?
I'm fully pro vaccine and I'm happy for these studies. Nothing wrong about getting more data and confirming or revisiting things based on said results.
Science is not afraid of being double checked.
Sweet
I just saw yet another Tim pool twitter thread with people talking about wanting assault vaccines be made illegal

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Previous research has shown the vast majority of cases are mild, patients recover quickly and risks can be averted by extending the time between doses.
That report provides extensive details about the serious cases, which included people who required a hospital admission or died, making it clear the vaccine was likely not the cause.
At the same time, a new study published by Canadian researchers found that babies whose mothers had been vaccinated against COVID-19 during pregnancy were less likely to experience serious health complications, be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit or die.
The study, published this week in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, looked at data from more than 142,000 births in Ontario and followed infants for six months to determine their outcomes.
Sarah Jorgensen, one of the study’s authors, said the findings should provide reassurance to pregnant women that the vaccines are safe and can help protect their babies.
“Pregnant women and really young infants in the first couple of months, they’re also high-risk,” said Ms. Jorgensen, who is a pharmacist and a PhD candidate in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s Institute for Medical Science at the University of Toronto.
