> the COVID vaccine is protective against heart disease alone Wait, what? As in people should just take it as a prophylactic for heart disease, without even taking covid into consideration? It seems like this would be shouted from the rooftops if it were true.

  No - it's protective against negative COVID-19 outcomes just if you consider cardiovascular outcomes, ignoring all the others.

Young men on the other hand appear to face the biggest increase in COVID related heart attacks according to https://www.cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/covid-19-surges-linked-to-spike-in-heart-attacks/ https://www.cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/covid-19-surges-linked..., so perhaps the vaccine remains their best option.

  Indeed. In that group, it's merely...murky...rather than "This is definitively a bad idea".

  The issue isn't Covid vs vaccine heart risks, it's that you're going to get Covid 100% after having the vaccine, so you've essentially doubled your risk. That's the issue.
