The level of stupidity in this thread is shocking. I am surprised that Brian James hasn't been permanently banned. Others as well.
The problem with promoting the anti-vax take on social media is that older people who don't take the Covid vaccine have like a 1% to 2% chance of dying each year. Kind of like playing Russian roulette with a semi-automatic gun that chambers up to 50 to 100 bullets.
About heart attacks: young people who are at risk of heart attacks should absolutely be taking the Covid vaccine. Their risk of heart attacks skyrockets when they get Covid.
Here is an article from the American Heart Association (AHA)
"The most important thing to remember is that people with heart disease, including heart failure, are at risk of getting much sicker or even dying if they get COVID-19. So, if you have a history of heart disease or have a risk factor for heart disease or stroke, stay informed and stay cautious."
"Stay up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccinations. People with cardiovascular risk factors or heart disease, along with heart attack and stroke survivors, generally should get vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 because they are at much greater risk from the virus than they are from the vaccine, experts say. The American Heart Association urges people with medical conditions to discuss vaccination with their health care team. "
