The whole article could use a lot more context, which has been typical of COVID reporting. For one thing: is heart inflammation a rare side-effect for vaccines and/or immune responses generally? If not, to what degree (if any) does this exceed rates we see for other vaccines?
That should be second-paragraph-of-article sorts of information.

- sdenton4 5y agoExactly this. I'm curious how much we're seeing effects that are present but just haven't been measured previously, because of the size of the newly-vaccinated population. The second dose is obviously very stressful on the body - people are often down for a couple days dealing with the reaction - so it seems unsurprising that there's /some/ kind of measurable secondary effect. Stress is known to correlate with heart attack.
