i remember this study, but i'm surprised we don't have more papers on the same topic since. It seemed like a pretty big news, and yet i don't hear people recommending mass-vaccination mention it.

Any idea why ?

My guess is it takes a while to do this sort of study. UK biobank was unusual in having such a large database of scans.

Vaccination should reduce the risks. But there was a nurses study that 19% of the breakthrough cases had lasting effects. So I would not expect vaccination to eliminate the risk if a breakthrough happens.

I recommend mass vax and this point is one of the main points I use. But I agree with you that sadly, this danger is not well known.
