If you are interested, Eric Topol's newsletter has more detailed information about COVID and the ⬆️ risk of heart attack and stroke. He goes through 6 studies.

My take away is that the risk of a heart attack or stroke in an unvaccinated person is *very roughly* ~2x compared to someone who hasn't been infected, & in a vaccinated person who's been infected, it's ~1.4x compared to someone who has not been infected.

I encourage you to read the whole thing!

Heart attacks and strokes late after Covid

The body of evidence expands

Ground Truths
@grammargirl is that 1.4x increase just from vaccination, or from vaccination plus infection (I read the original piece but wasn’t sure how you made that calculation)?
@grammargirl Eric just did a great interview with Bob Wachter. They cover the state of COVID now with a focus on Long COVID. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjoYq-plKsk
