I'm dreaming of block compression in Postgresql, instead of only row compression, too limited to be effective. I know you can store your data on a Zfs pool with block compression, but having it native would remove the burdain of setting this up and maybe better perf.

Personally, I also compare it to using Meilisearch. What I find there is a superb doc, ease of use, full support for other European languages, possibility of sorting by field in addition to BM25, custom stop words (even better if the stop words for each language are already defined), custom ordering. If I could find all this in a Postgresql extension, it would be a dream. Congrats for the progress made, I'll give it a try!

Your change of dying from the vaccine is very low, indeed.

But, if you have no comorbidity, your chance of dying from the covid is extremely low too...

You must also take this into account in your comparison
