💉 Long-term safety confirmed: 4-year mortality data after mRNA vaccination
This extensive population-level analysis reinforces confidence in the safety of mRNA vaccines and demonstrates the value of large-scale epidemiological data for public health research.
A comprehensive French cohort study involving 28 million adults aged 18–59 found no increase in all-cause mortality within four years of receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Researchers even observed a 25% lower mortality rate among vaccinated individuals compared to unvaccinated peers, after adjusting for demographics and health factors. The results confirm the long-term safety of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 vaccines.

🗄️ PostgreSQL’s 1600-column limit – why more isn’t always better
A clear and insightful deep dive into PostgreSQL internals, reminding engineers that architectural constraints often exist for good reasons and should be respected to ensure long-term system reliability.
This technical post examines PostgreSQL’s 1600-column table limit, explaining how internal tuple and page-size structures impose practical boundaries. While it’s technically possible to extend the limit slightly, internal bit fields and compatibility issues make it impractical. The author warns that exceeding the limit risks instability and higher maintenance costs.
