The Levy study looked at 1,470,100 Floridians over 12 months who received either the Moderna or the pfizer vaccine. It compared the incidence of cardiovascular deaths among both groups to see if one was associated with more or less cardiovascular death than the other.
The vaccine with more mRNA (Moderna) was associated with fewer cardiovascular deaths, fewer covid deaths, and fewer deaths from all causes than the vaccine with less mRNA (Pfizer).
Overall, for both vaccines, the incidence of cardiovascular death was lower than what was observed in 2018, pre-Covid.
The actual numbers of cardiovascular deaths were typical and unsurprising. For example, in the 40-49 year old groups, there were 41 cardiovascular (CV) deaths total during the 12 month period. In the 18-39 year old cohort, there were only 11 CV deaths. Nothing extraordinary.
It is evident from the graph that CV death and Covid death increased lineraly with age which is also completely expected.
The second graph compares these CV deaths to a constructed 2018 baseline that uses the same CV death criteria (ICD 10 codes from CDC Wonder: I00-I09, I11, I13, I20-I51) that the study used. The biggest flaw of this study was the lack of a comparative pre-covid baseline so I created one.
Bottom line: Covid vaccination was not associated with a higher than expected number of cardiovascular deaths in any age group and the vaccine with significantly more mRNA was associated with a significantly lower incidence of death from cardiac causes, from covid, and from all causes which was especially evident in the older groups.
The hypothesized reason for this is that the higher dose of mRNA provided better protection against severe covid, especially in the immunosenescent groups (the older people with weaker immune systems due to thymic involution among other things) and, as severe covid is highly associated with cardiovascular mortality (e.g. heart attacks), the individuals were better protected against covid associated CV mortality.

Maybe this is crazy. But a woman who built herself up from being a homeless child to an accomplished physician, seems preferable to a man born into the privileges of private education and frequent international family vacations but never learned decency.

OMG this ex Christian Trump supporter from a small town outside of Memphis is literally going off on Trump and Elon Musk calling them liars and Nazis. I never thought I would hear some of what he’s saying about Trump destroying this Country. Seriously is this guy even real.

Paul Gilbert plays Ozzy’s “I Don’t Know”, and he plays the whole thing. The vocal melody AND Randy Rhoads’ guitar parts, all on one guitar at once.
Fitting tribute. Gilbert learned from Rhoads himself at a 1982 seminar. Here he is in Seoul, honoring two legends now gone.

UnitedHealth’s profits soared even as revenue fell, medical spending dropped $3 billion, and the company covered nearly 2.5 million FEWER people.
Meanwhile, it's shrinking provider networks, cutting benefits and pulling out of communities it no longer finds profitable.
And Wall Street cheered.

Tracing 238 antivax claims to their origins.
A thread 🧵 that lays out where they came from, who pushed them, how they spread, and how they became one interconnected narrative.
Please share it. Especially with the followers of the people who built and amplified these claims.
They deserve to see the full pattern, not just the claim they were sold.
