This study came out about COVID vaccine safety, it has some reassuring conclusions for cardiovascular issues:

"This England-wide study offers patients reassurance of the cardiovascular safety of first, second and booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines," coauthor William Whiteley, MB BCh, PhD, of the University of Edinburgh, said in a press release from Health Data Research UK. "It demonstrates that the benefits of second and booster doses, with fewer common cardiovascular events include heart attacks and strokes after vaccination, outweigh the very rare cardiovascular complications."

The medical community was cowed into pushing masks and 6 foot separation. This is probably a CYA piece for drug companies. I suffered a serious medical problem following the 2nd Moderna shot and will be on medication for it for the rest of my life. Color me cynical.
And ignore all of those news articles about young athletes suffering cardiac issues, those are conspiracies as well.

So if someone does some research and sees a weak correlation that vaccines could increase heart attacks or strokes would they dare try to publish it. They have retracted close to a hundred Covid studies as "bad science" or misinformation that go against the narrative. Suppose you found something would you dare try and and publish it and risk losing grant money, having your work retracted or being attacked.
Now suppose you do the same study but also see a weak correlation that vaccinations do reduce heart attacks like this study does. Now that you can publish no problem, get more grant money and approval from the blogosphere.
You see the issue now? I looked at this study and it shows a very weak correlation so there are likely many additional variables . I think this it is pretty inconclusive but will get published, Scooby will push on this blog and so on. Now some others studies which is just as inconclusive could see the opposite trend but that will be hushed up as misinformation and the scientists attacked.
I would take my chances with the vaccines, produced by US companies, rather than a virus (evidently) cooked up in Chinese labs. By the way, mortality is not the whole story for COVID, as you know there is a long COVID syndrome in particular which involves neurological dysfunction and brain damage, on that basis it makes sense to give the vaccine to the entire US population.
By the way the side effects of the vaccines are real, it is just that the benefits outweigh the risks, as noted in the original paper on cardiovascular risks, vaccination led to a net benefit on cardiovascular health at the population level by reducing the chance of reinfection and reducing its severity.
Hello 8/31/2024 11:33 PM,
I do not push anything. I do my best to moderate the blog. If you
have any suggestions, I am all ears.
Dear 7.53AM I was not talking about this blog I was talking about the actual medical journals. The 7.05 AM poster probably has it right. We have no idea how many effects are from from long Covid vs vaccine side effects. This on top of the fact the risk/benefit analysis probably depends a lot on your age. If you are older the vaccine probably is worth the risk. If you are younger maybe not but there is no tolerance for context when it comes to Covid.
