What's even the point? More evidence isn't going to change anyone's mind.

You'd be surprised. My sibling wasn't anti-vax but was surrounded by, let's say less scientifically-inclined people (artists) and didn't get vaccinated.
Talking over the phone I got my sibling to actually research the topic (actual publications, not social media "do my your own research") and finally decided to vaccinate.
Some people are probably mostly lost down the social media conspiracy/politics rabbit hole but some aren't beyond looking at overwhelming evidence and making a reasonable decision based on it.

Could we just say that all evidence confirms it?
I need to preface this by saying that I am in no way anti-vaccine, and this has nothing to do with politics.
But...
I got my last booster about 3 weeks ago, and I have been messed up ever since. Apparently there is something called Long Vax Syndrome that is currently being studied. Fortunately I don't have some of the worst symptoms, but the fatigue is so real. Normally when I would get a covid booster I would be exhausted for about 24 hours, but this is unrelenting. I've never been this tired in my life, and it's honestly a struggle. I am really hoping something comes of the research and they figure something out because I don't know how long I can sustain this.
If it is anything like long covid my symptoms went away after about 2 months. Hopefully the vaccine variant is not as long.
But by week three I was starting to feel somewhat better.

I'm fully pro vaccine and I'm happy for these studies. Nothing wrong about getting more data and confirming or revisiting things based on said results.
Science is not afraid of being double checked.

I just saw yet another Tim pool twitter thread with people talking about wanting assault vaccines be made illegal
