But one would think if it was the vaccine, the young age group would have the lowest rate of rise since they are the least vaccinated, not the highest rate of rise


Has someone given this guy a lesson on percentages yet?

ETA: I’m suggesting that young people don’t typically die from heart attacks.

30% increase in age group 25-44. Of which at least 84% of that age group are vaxxed according to the CDC in October of 2022.

My theory is that there are a lot of folks regretting their decision to vax their kids so they're looking for something other than that they likely made a big mistake.

I don't know of a single person who altered their lifestyle to a great degree during the Chinese Flu farce. Trying to blame increased heart attacks on increased obesity is stretching it - or purposely avoiding admitting what you know is the real cause.

I'm sure someone is looking at the data to determine this, but is it being reported? This shite isn't that hard to figure out if you're in a position with the right data. It should be analyzed for every possible cause until things are ruled out. Check data for everyone that dies from a heart attack for vaccination, having had covid, etc. What stands out as the most common?


Not possible. Vaccination data is straightforward. Covid infection is only reported if a person experiences serious enough symptoms to seek medical attention.

Certainly something with some numbers behind it. I too think increased stress and more sedentary lifestyles along with increased vasculitis which is a hallmark of the disease. I also think more drugs are being used which doesn't help either.

We are also possibly catching more "minor" heart attacks. My father apparently had a heart attack a few years ago and didn't realize until a stress test last year showed an abnormal ECG which let to further testing which showed his heart had already dealt with it on its own. Oh, just saw the 'deaths" part in the title.

Also, people state the increase in heart attacks in younger- what is the percentage increase in obesity in that age group?

One other thing, the US medical care system has been jammed up leading to longer waits and likely poorer care which could certainly mean increased deaths as well.

If the vaccine was the cause for rise in heart attacks, I would naturally expect the rate of rise to be higher n the group more vaccinated.


The variable you are missing is that heart attacks are not evenly distributed amongst age groups. In fact they are really lopsided towards old people so an increase in totals is not going to move the percentage meter much for old folks but it's going to produce a much more drastic shift for younger folks.

So it coincides with when Covid hit and not 1 year later when the vaccine was released?

That's discounting the possible physiological mechanism.
Perhaps it's immune related as in stronger immune response, greater heart inflammation etc. There could be reasons younger getting killed at higher rates.

Yeh nobody actually read the study. The increase started in 2020, before the release of the vaccines.

All deaths post Covid outbreak are as a result of:

1. COVID itself
2. Covid Vaccine


There are no other possibilities.

Yeah How has this got not gotten blasted for not understanding math? There is no consideration to the base of the percentage change in his comments. Young people don’t typically get heart attacks, the fact that there is such a large increase in the youngest groups should support the correlations of smaller Percentage increases in the older groups.

How dare you bring critical thinking and common sense to the OT.

I really don’t have an opinion one way or another right now, but this logic is just dumb. Here is the math explaining why. Pulling these numbers out my arse but it’s just a math problem to explain your faulty logic. You can apply any numbers you want and the result is the same.

10 in 100,000 “young” die of heart attack
100 in 100,000 “old” die of heart attack

Of those 100,000 let’s say 80,000k in the old group get vaccinated and only 30,000k in the young group get vaccinated.

The 80k vaccinations lead to 20 more deaths in the old group, bumping it up 20% to 120 per 100k. So 20 in 80000 is an incidence rate of something like 0.025%.

The 30k vaccinations in the young group lead to 7.5 more deaths with the same incidence rate applied. That is a 75% increase in the young group to 17.5 in 100,000.

Even though they got vaccinated at a rate of less than half that of the older group, the same incidence rate leads to a much higher percentage jump, 75% vs 20%, because they were already way lower and less likely to have a heart attack to begin with.

I have a strong feeling you didn’t graduate in any sort of math related major.
