It would be useful if you'd cite some expert information about the recommendations you are making, rather than pose as a person with your own certitude absent medical science. As an A-fib victim for several years, I've had four mRNA vaccine shots without any effects on my heart rhythms. I haven't changed my will, living will, or meager funeral directions out of fear of vaccine effects.

Reading back I agree my recommendation to complete a living will was flippant. But on the other hand many would agree we should all have a living will in place.

You describe having had 4 vaccinations with no effect. But people like myself havre had strong reactions. It would be questionable to repeat that experiment. The next recommendation I made was to consult your doctor about possibly of adding an angiotensin II agonist. I believe some doctors are prescribing and others are not. It may be at this time somewhat “off label”, but there is a fairly widespread acceptance that it is reasonable. Read the abstract at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7468676/
Or many others.
As with any medical intervention there are risks. The rate of of unwanted complications is not going to be either zero or one. But most of us expected that the trials data would have been collected in an objective manner. It was clearly not. See the Phizer releases and ask a trusted expert if the criteria for declaring myocarditis seems traditional or unusual. I expect you will conclude “unusual” or “absurd”.
The entire topic of COVID is so utterly political that it’s pointless to list a source as we can find sources that say anything A simple claim, such as “Omicron is typically mild” can now be checked by just about all of us directly. I have spoken with now about 25 people who had it, none were hospitalized. This tiny sample aligns with numerous open access data (like worldometer).
Do you think that I, after a heart attack and now AFib, should go get a 4th mRNA shot? Why?
What would be the risk benefit? Do you believe that Omicron is a lethal virus? Do you believe that mRNA vaccines are harmless to all? Do you believe that adverse reaction reporting is in place that is thorough and transparent? Why?
