Covid vaccination cut risk of adverse heart events, large study finds

[TBF]

1. "Covid vaccination was also tied to a nearly 24% reduction in all-cause cardiac events" --

this is actually pretty amazing, and I will have to read more about this.

I was one of the immune compromised (due to medication) who persisted w/vaccines. I was in a local study, knew what my antibody levels were after each set of vaccines, and knew for example that Moderna vaccines worked much better for someone like me than the Pfizer version (at least initially).

But it definitely was a point of discussion during the time - some immunosuppressed folks weren't sure if they should even get vaccines if they wouldn't be effective (short answer - they were effective - but not necessarily the first set you got).

I was also able to stay inside so I didn't actually contract Covid until I had to travel in late 2022 - by which time there were much better treatments around like Paxlovid (which worked for me).

I am encouraged that the studies are still being done, albeit by private orgs/labs, I don't trust anything coming out of the CDC these days.
