I am poorly qualified to evaluate the claims of the paper, so as a proxy I looked into the qualifications of the authors. Dr Pantazatos is an assistant professor in the Psychiatry department at Columbia, with what appears to be a long record of papers in the field of brain imaging, with a shift this year (inferring from his twitter) to a focus on vaccine opposition preprints and petitions opposing vaccine mandates. Hervé Seligmann appears to be a currently unaffiliated geneticist, though he did (apparently falsely) claim to be affiliated with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in a letter advocating hydroxychloroquine?

As always, I'll defer to real expert evaluation of the work, but my hunch is that the paper will be poorly received when that happens.

Thank you.
