I was fully expecting to read the paper and find that the authors maybe didn’t make the follow-up issue explicit enough. But no, there’s an entire paragraph in the discussion. Statistics is hard and innocent mistakes are common but the paper explicitly says there isn’t enough follow-up data yet to make comparisons by vaccine timing. Thanks for writing this post! It is so helpful to have something to link to if I spot this misinformation being spread by anyone I know.
I decided to add a screenshot from the article so everyone doesn't have to go looking for it. Seeing in print the researchers have addressed it makes it even more frustrating!
