With its digitally-integrated biobank and linked data repository, QoVAX promised to enable ongoing research addressing epidemiology, genomics, virology, and immunology, as well as unforeseen complications of Covid vaccines, and long Covid outcomes.
Only last week we reported on the BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine article which exposed the poor quality of research into long Covid and the difficulties in defining, let alone diagnosing it. This study was linked, surprisingly, in Global Health Now.

A survey of ECG (electrocardiogram) parameters after the Pfizer Covid shot found that 17.1 per cent of senior high school students had at least one cardiac symptom after the second vaccine dose, mostly chest pain and palpitations.
‘From February 2021 to March 2022, millennials experienced the equivalent of a Vietnam war, with more than 60,000 excess deaths,’ he said. ‘The Vietnam war took 12 years to kill the same number of healthy young people we’ve just seen die in 12 months.’
A study that looked into the age-stratified infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 among the non-elderly population has found that the rate was extremely low among young people.
