This is a follow-up to the item yesterday, the upshot is that it's a pretty weak study, and doesn't actually measure outcomes. Authors just very effective at publicity.
Or, put another way: people who are worried about Covid get vaccinated and boosted

Yea, there’s something about this lens, in bright light I end up with an artifact that looks like a ray of light in the top of the frame. It looks kinda cool sometimes, but I really need to figure out how to avoid this happening.
