For anyone coming in here, wondering if this is some massive revelation: it doesn’t seem to be as far as I can tell. Note the mention of « flu » as well, meaning an increase of stroke incidence not even comparable to negative effects of getting the flu.
I think it’s probably an alright trade off considering the positive effects of vaccination.
Of course, I’m glad the research is being done! Just worded as if this is some disaster outcome in the headline.
