No, the way it is currently is any time someone in the news that is seemingly healthy but has a major heart issue (for example Bronny James) they immediately jump and say "IT WAS THE VACCINE!".
And, since the vast majority of people have been vaccinated, it follows that the vast majority of people who have heart attacks have been vaccinated.
Go-go base rate fallacy!

BTW, it's awesome that the graphic for the Base Rate Fallacy is specifically about COVID vaccinations.
