The results are hedged with might and could and they suggest further study would be a good thing, and it notes that their observations might be related to another thing that might be interesting in COVID patients.
There's no concrete tie in to COVID there and is really just commentary on 12 weeks of study that might lead somewhere that could be COVID related.
Anything said about the effectiveness and safety of the vaccines would be couched in all this exact same uncertainty if there was any epistemic honesty involved here.
Not at all - I read a lot of papers in science and the one that you chose to indirectly link via a pop sci article simply doesn't support the claim made.
It literally doesn't even directly look at COVID, that connection is vague, indirect and couched in terms of "deserves a look".
Papers that address vaccine safety will look at large populations (and provide numbers and time frames) and provide hard numbers on various classes of outcomes.

Not really - you might want to read the actual published paper that article talks about.
