Scientists at Yale and Harvard say they are starting to pay attention to conditions that may be caused by COVID-19 vaccines, which has been dubbed “long vax” in media outlets this week.

“You see one or two patients, and you wonder if it’s a coincidence,” Dr. Anne Louise Oaklander, a neurologist and researcher with Harvard Medical School, told the Science website. “But by the time you’ve seen 10, 20 [patients],” she added, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”
