Did you read the rest of the context here? To avoid implying anything let's recap: Heart attacks are on the rise, is the topic. Some are saying it's due to covid-19, as implied by parent. Some are saying things like, "What if this is just due to people on average being the fattest and most stressed out they've ever been? Being inside for a few years didn't help everyone physically." (comment here) And suggesting other causes (vax, etc). I then point out that almost everyone has had covid-19 at this point. It's not about discussing anecdotes / the strawman argument. I'm pointing out that clearly something else is at play here. Look, you have a very unhealthy population relative to recent history, given the high percentage of overweight/obese/sedentary people; you have stupid shutdowns of recreation[1]; you tell people the air outside is poisonous and the moral thing is to stay inside on the couch. Now it's end of 2020, early 2021 Suddenly everyone's a baker, consuming large amounts of alcohol, not exercising and many are gaining weight. We're doing the moral thing, but we're not doing what we were born to do, which is move our bodies, the singular best prevention for cardiovascular issues. That this constellation of things that happened prior to and during the pandemic would make some more susceptible to vascular disease is worth exploring as a multifactorial set of causes. 1 https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/california-shuts-down-beaches-as-crowds-flock-to-the-coast https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/california-shuts-down-beac... At one point we even shut down beaches, because we thought the virus was flying around in the wind and sea air out of people's mouths. I still see people walking around alone on the streets wearing masks, today in 2023, like some sort of medieval superstition (reminiscent of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miasma_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miasma_theory).
