Bit of a silly video - anecdotal account of marathon runners having cardiac events (did they even get shots, and how long ago? Any possible events after a shot are within 1 month). But then he does get into the interesting issue of aspiration. It seems some countries are requiring aspiration, others not. It would seem it should at least be an option provided to a patient, so they understand all risks, even if very small.
Just so you folks don't wonder if you missed something that helped, the summary FTA: "Writing about the COVID-19 response in their country, molecular biologist Andrew Ewing and activist Kelly Bjorkland wrote in their article for Time, âthe Swedish way has yielded little but death and miseryâ"
The introduction is sobering: "At the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Swedenâs public health agency, Folkhälsomyndigheten (FHM), opted for a âde-facto herd immunity approach, allowing community transmission to occur relatively uncheckedâ <5. While the agency did recommend limiting gatherings to 50 people or less on March 29, 2020, there were no mandatory measures taken to limit crowds on transport, in malls, schools, and other crowded places <5. The government acknowledged the fatal risk of such a strategy; on April 3, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said, â will have to count the dead in thousands. It is just as well that we prepare for itâ <4. In early May, the FHM predicted that 40% of Stockholmâs population would have gotten the disease, recovered, and have protective antibodies; but, according to the antibody studies published on Sept. 3 by the agency, based on samples collected through June, that number was only 11.4% <4. In August, a study by the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine stated that herd immunity was still ânowhere in sightâ <7. However, even as the death toll in the country climbed, the government reaffirmed its faith in the strategy, despite the fact that herd immunity against an infectious disease has never been achieved without the aid of a vaccine <4."
