Grumble... apparently thanks to ublock origin I never see the paywall so didn't know it was paywalled.

So here's links to some of the papers he was referencing.

The first paper on the subject from analyzing the VA administration electronic health records

Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of COVID-19 (open access)

Our results provide evidence that the risk and 1-year burden of cardiovascular disease in survivors of acute COVID-19 are substantial. Care pathways of those surviving the acute episode of COVID-19 should include attention to cardiovascular health and disease.

Association Between Vaccination and Acute Myocardial Infarction and Ischemic Stroke After COVID-19 Infection

Impact of Vaccination on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients With COVID-19 Infection

Either partial or complete vaccination is associated with a lower risk of MACE after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Though in their introduction they also just state

SARS-CoV-2 infection increases the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and long-term cardiovascular sequelae after recovery.1 However, the association of vaccination on cardiovascular outcomes following infection has not been elucidated in the United States. We investigate association between vaccination and MACE among patients with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Long-term cardiovascular outcomes in COVID-19 survivors among non-vaccinated population: A retrospective cohort study from the TriNetX US collaborative networks (open access)

One-Year Adverse Outcomes Among US Adults With Post–COVID-19 Condition vs Those Without COVID-19 in a Large Commercial Insurance Database

In this cohort study of 13435 US adults with post–COVID-19 condition (PCC) and 26870 matched adults without COVID-19, the adults with PCC experienced increased risks for a number of cardiovascular outcomes, such as ischemic stroke. During the 12-month follow-up period, 2.8% of the individuals with PCC vs 1.2% of the individuals without COVID-19 died, implying an excess death rate of 16.4 per 1000 individuals."

Excess cardiovascular mortality across multiple COVID-19 waves in the United States from March 2020 to March 2022

The excess cardiovascular death percentages were 5.7% and 4.0% in men and women, respectively, and 3.6%, 8.8%, 7.5% and 7.7% in non-Hispanic White, Black, Asian and Hispanic people, respectively. Our data highlight an urgent need for healthcare services optimization for patients with cardiovascular diseases in the COVID-19 era.

Here's a popular press article as well Young people are more likely to die of heart attacks post-COVID, study finds. But why?

The age group hit the hardest? People between 25 and 44, who saw a 29.9% relative increase in heart attack deaths over the first two years of the pandemic (which means the actual number of heart attack deaths were almost 30% higher than the predicted number).

Comment COVID infections increase risk of heart attack (Score 2) 194

Multiple studies have shown that there's around a 1.5 - 2 fold increase in the risks of experiencing heart attacks or strokes more than 30 days after a COVID infection. https://erictopol.substack.com... Later studies have found vaccinated people's risk is about half that of the unvaccinated. The exact odds will likely change with different studies and changing conditions, but COVID infections can have long lasting impacts on your health.

Global warming isn't going to kill all life on earth. The tardigrades aren't even going to notice, given they can live in deep sea hydro-thermal vents and deep space.

Global warming is likely to cause severe water and food stress for humans, some regions are likely to become too hot & humid for humans to survive going outside. https://www.ucsusa.org/our-wor...

Prevailing winds bring in fresh, well mixed, air from the oceans and pushes the locally generated CO2 away, whether from cities or volcanoes away from the observatory. This link has more details, and included results from other measuring stations. https://skepticalscience.com/M...

Comment When will my software run on Linux? (Score 2) 359

You probably actually want the answer to the question "when will the software I care about run on Linux"?

And the answer is "if there is a market for it, developers will port their software."

There are a fair number of games available via Valve Steam for Linux, there would probably be more if more if more people bought games on Linux. Hopefully Valve will put some more time into SteamOS as Windows 10 S is a threat to Steam's business model.

One thing that might also help is to set your browsers user agent to a Linux. The low representation of Linux on netcraft is used by larger companies to justify not supporting Linux.

Comment All the more reason to cut greenhouse gas emission (Score 1) 624

We need to cut greenhouse gas emissions as fast as physically possible. This is far faster than what is convenient or affordable.

The current scientific thinking is there is a remaining carbon budget, anything we do to slow the amount of greenhouse gasses added to the atmosphere will help. For individual actions one scientist chronicled how he faced needing to change. Both individual actions that he took, and the way he tried to deal with the emotional challenge.

Being the Change

But what we need to do is this The Climate Mobilization where every possible thing in society is being re-engineered to avoid greenhouse gas emissions.
