repeated doses have been shown to induce IgG4 production
I have a strong suspicion that this finding explains some if not all of the weird results with these vaccines.
* The 95% effective was a measurement solely of sickness, not infection. At the time this was reported, we had no idea if this meant it prevented infection/improved the immune response (good) or suppressed the immune response so we didn't develop symptoms (bad).
* Tons of countries had huge infection spikes just a couple months after reaching high vaccination rates.
* "Long Covid" seems to have become far more prevalent after the vaccines than before.
Here's what I think is happening: The IgG4 finding is key in explaining all of these. It suppresses the immune response, which would allow the virus to run wild without any immediate symptoms (95% initial efficacy). This could cause small amounts of damage that accumulate into Long Covid (why it's associated with infection but seems more prevalent in vaccinated people), as well as turn the vaccinated into asymptomatic spreaders (the high infection spikes).
Personally, I think mRNA vaccines were a complete failure.

Is it possible that long Covid developed in people who prior to vaccination, would have simply died of Covid?
The larger point is that there are many many confounding factors including Survivor bias
