“The cardiometabolic after effects of SARS-CoV-2 have been profound, persistent, and peculiar — really peculiar,” said cardiologist Susan Cheng, director of public health research at Cedars-Sinai’s Smidt Heart Institute in Los Angeles.
Not only did the pandemic result in the most deaths in a century, but it also triggered a wave of deadly cardiovascular and metabolic illness. While cases like Dowd’s were known from the start, mortality data of the last four years are now revealing the scale of the impact.
Scientists are still trying to figure out why. It’s unclear how many people died from Covid’s cardiovascular complications and how many died because of its indirect consequences, such as disrupted medical care and worsening rates of obesity and high blood pressure.
From 2020 to 2022, a quarter of a million more Americans over 35 years old succumbed to cardiovascular disease than predicted based on historical trends, according to Bloomberg analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2023, age-adjusted stroke mortality was almost 5% above pre-pandemic levels, according to preliminary data, while rates from deaths related to hypertensive heart disease, rhythm abnormalities, blood clots, diabetes and kidney failure were 15-28% higher. Covid had a muted impact on other common causes of death such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, the data show.

Didn’t they say heart damage was a possible side effect of the particularly in young men, who were also at lower risk of getting very sick from infection
@R3dStateJellyfishPatriot2mos2MO
Go read the army stats in this to cure your ignorance on this topic. They’re overwhelmingly calling you out
@M0derateQuailRepublican2mos2MO
Was at a local ER last night, paramedics, police and nurses were talking about how they were forced into this. Are pissed off, and how many young people they're seeing come in with serious heart problems after collapsing at work.
@R3dStateJellyfishPatriot2mos2MO
Go read how many countries paused or outlawed Moderna and Pfizer for people of a certain age, mostly born in 1991 or after. entire countries health systems are overwhelmingly calling you out.
@L1beralEleanorUnity2mos2MO
Not until after half the country was vaccinated.
@PoliticalCowTranshumanist2mos2MO
Glad I didn’t fall for that scam.
@Feder4l1stLlamaMountain2mos2MO
Hmm, what could have possibly been given to 80% of the population around 3 years ago?
It boggles the mind.
@GleefulQuorumTranshumanist2mos2MO

For people who don't read - the spike coincides with covid-19, not the vaccines. The rise in rates started occurring before the vaccine was even out.
@lemans3427Republican2mos2MO
But the vaccine itself contains a form of Covid
@AmazedMonkeyDemocrat2mos2MO
none of the COVID-19 vaccines authorized or approved in the United States contain any live virus
@GiddyRightWingPatriot2mos2MO
Go ahead and get your booster every 3 months for what amounts to a mild cold for the vast majority.
@AmazedMonkeyDemocrat2mos2MO
Next tome you’re sick please don’t ever go to a hospital do research on Facebook.
@PleasedPonieConstitution2mos2MO
The jabs instruct your cells to become spike protein factories. Apparently of the safe and effective persuasion.
