Did the guys who did the study control for vaccination status? Seems very relevant to the conversation. It’s a proven fact a small portion of recipients experience heart issues after getting one of the mRNA vaccines.

How am I cherry-picking when I included several reviews? Find one review that concludes the opposite (or that such studies are "split" as you say) and perhaps you'll have an argument.

How did I "cite" that in a question? That WAS my question, the answer to which I found myself.
