I understand your issue but to say your research saves lives is an overstatement. Your implying that the lack of vaccination will save more lives than Covid infection. The fact that you aren’t trying to propose mechanisms is exactly the issue. You’re stoking more public fear by your “simple observation”. So either provide an alternative, or your potential implication is not important enough to merit a publication at this stage.

Irresponsible science journalism is stoking public fear, not actual researchers trying to do important work. Stop blocking the important work and go chastise the people really causing the problems.
On our first draft, we tried to tease out some of your concerns about relative risk of the vaccine to covid itself, and even had some _potential_ mechanisms to study. But peer review didn't like that. So we've been cutting and rearranging the paper and finally have a draft that looks like it will go through.
We're not trying to stoke fear, we're trying to see what's really happening.

Thanks for your hard work. Politics have entirely abducted reason on this topic. We all so clearly fear that the same certain thing may be true, so we are left doing nothing that matters.
