Title text: The vaccine stuff seems pretty simple. But if you take a closer look at the data, it's still simple, but bigger. And slightly blurry. Might need reading glasses.

Cueball: I try to meet people where they are, but I have such a hard time with anti-vaxxers.

Cueball: The pandemic brought with it so much confusing stuff.
Cueball: Ambiguous data, weird tradeoffs, disagreements, dilemmas, and uncertainty.

[Zoom in on Cueball]

Cueball: It just feels like a miracle that the best and most effective intervention to reduce suffering also turned out to be one of the easiest and simplest.
Cueball: That never happens!

Cueball: I hate that people are working so hard to make it complicated when it's one of the few things in this world that isn't.

Haven't been keeping up to date with this. Has there actually been an uptick in cardiac problems due to the vaccine? I know my resting heart rate was chronically elevated, seemingly after I caught the coronavirus and continued distance running without realising. And I was fully vaccinated already. What's the current evidence on all these claims? And what should I be doing, as somebody trying to improve their cardiovascular fitness?

There is a tiny percentage chance that you will develop myocarditis, temporarily, if you get vaccinated.

There's a greater chance you will develop myocarditis if you get COVID.
