“The consequences of putting out out a press release on a preprint — especially this poor quality study — is wildly irresponsible & does serious harm to scientists & the public alike,” virologist Angela Rasmussen of the University of Saskatchewan posted on Bluesky.

The Yale study’s authors defend their decision to post the preprint online even as a preliminary study of post-vaccine medical conditions.

This preprint study recently exploded on social media, where it was shared by Joe Rogan, Alex Berenson and Elon Musk.

Last month, researchers from Yale University published a study, which has yet to be peer-reviewed, on the preprint server medRx, which rapidly circulated online among vaccine skeptics.

Because it is a preprint study that has not been peer-reviewed, the authors acknowledged in a press release that their findings needed to be validated.
