Based on the submitted paper, if it is intended to apply specifically to the long covid population, then it seems to be a reasonable comment. It did mention post-long-covid vaccinations seemed to be more harmful than helpful - something like ~15% found their long covid symptoms improved afterwards while ~20% had their symptoms worsen.
If that second sentence was intended to apply to the general population, then it's neither supported nor contradicted by the submitted paper. I don't believe it addressed risks outside of those already suffering from long covid. While it did address protection against long covid, it didn't come to a particular conclusion on the matter. It mentioned that studies on this aren't in general agreement yet, and pointed out a number of potential reasons for this, such as varying and potentially incomplete standards for discriminating between both long covid and control groups, in addition to the basic difficulties involved in keeping up with new strains.
As for other research... well that's a whole other thing.
