> You know a lot of people got Covid before the vaccines even existed...

> So really you are asking if all the researchers are idiots

No. I did not say either/or.

I also don't think this is a productive way of having a conversation.

This is a really aggressive and bad faith response. do better please

Fine. But I was very sad that the questioner didn't do some googling before they introduced a spurious question about vaccines into a comment thread about long covid.

20% of the US population remain unvaccinated. I think that 60 million people is a sufficient control sample to be able to tell the difference between long covid issues and vaccine issues.

It is actually accurate reframing of the question. And yep, that question was likely to be politically motivated too.

If you don't allow other people to ask questions, then I think it's more likely that you are yourself politically motivated.

This question might be asked by someone who has someone near them suffering said symptoms after having been vaccinated or after having suffered from long Covid (or both).

It's entirely unpolitical.

Honestly, it's worrying that we still aren't able to speak about these things openly without this kind of comment even in a community like this.
