Abstract Cardiovascular adverse conditions are caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections and reported as side-effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. Enriching current vaccine safety surveillance systems with additional data sources may improve the understanding of COVID-19 vaccine safety. Using a unique dataset from Israel National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) from 2019 to 2021, the study aims to evaluate the association between the volume of cardiac arrest and acute coronary syndrome EMS calls in the 16–39-year-old population with potential factors including COVID-19 infection and vaccination rates. An increase of 25% was detected in both call types during January–May 2021, compared with the years 2019–2020. Using Negative Binomial regression models, the weekly emergency call counts were significantly associated with the rates of 1st and 2nd vaccine doses administered to this age group but were not with COVID-19 infection rates. While not establishing causal relationships, the findings raise concerns regarding vaccine-induced undetected severe cardiovascular side-effects and underscore the already established causal relationship between vaccines and myocarditis, a frequent cause of unexpected cardiac arrest in young individuals. Surveillance of potential vaccine side-effects and COVID-19 outcomes should incorporate EMS and other health data to identify public health trends (e.g., increased in EMS calls), and promptly investigate potential underlying causes.

For the average age at death to be above life expectancy, virtually everyone who died "of" covid must have been elderly. And because humans don't live that long, the numbers of elderly who died must massively exceed the number of young people for that stat to skew so high. I don't know if you read your link, but it makes my point perfectly. As a practical matter, the only people that died with covid were those so frail that they would have died anyway. This has always been the case for other mild but highly transmissible illnesses, such as the flu. It seems clear to me that if it wasn't for the unprecedented manner by which these deaths were attributed, the pandemic would…
have been indistinguishable from a bad flu season. "Every vaccine anyone is allowed to offer to you is a lower risk than the disease." ... "That's how the various drug and medicine safety organisations worldwide work, what they are for, and the fundamental point of them." And that's why they have objectively failed. You don't account for incompetent or corrupt authorities. Or that different products, both called "vaccine" can have different risks and benefits. The covid vaccine is nothing like the measles vaccines, by any metric. "If one really think those risks count as negligible, why be afraid of the vaccines?" ... The risk of covid being negligible puts an upper limit on the potential benefit of the vaccine, but says nothing about it's safety. The risk of the vaccine is not zero, and for certain groups, ie. Young men, is quite significant (and no, not exceeded by covid). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-10928-z#Sec14
>well reasoned skepticism would come naturally for technical professionals. It's not well-reasoned skepticism to question the safety of a vaccine for which every vaccine adverse event reporting database reports two orders of magnitude more adverse events than previous vaccines? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-10928-z would you call Nature an anti-vax journal?
I don't know if there is a discussion thread but an Israeli study was just published yesterday which found an association between COVID-19 vaccination and myocarditis in young men. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-10928-z (I am not taking a position on the findings of that study, just providing a link as a reference.)
>Sure, let's blame vaccines in a funny roundabout way, while conveniently ignoring the more probable cause that is COVID. For heart issues in young males at least the more probable cause is actually the vaccine, as per this paper in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-10928-z
> 3) is it okay for society to collectively make decisions that reduce the liberty of an individual if that individual makes choices that endanger everyone else? I believe you mean: "Is it okay for society to collectively make decisions that reduce the liberty of an individual and endanger their life if that individual makes choices that endanger everyone else". Because for the covid vaccines at least there's ample evidence they're not without nontrivial risk: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-10928-z
