Thank you for this information. Would you be willing to share the hospital or city where you heard this? I've felt that the vaccine could have been a factor in the onset of my atrial flutter last year. I also had a 4-day bout of tachycardia that started 6 hours after having received the booster. I'm in no way against taking the vaccine (or vaccines in general) from an ideological perspective and I want the protection it gives against covid. But I am afraid to get a fourth shot at this point since I'm not sure it won't create more heart problems.

Unfortunately vaccination has become political. Despite my heart attack, aFib, testicular cysts, I would still have taken the first Moderna as I feel the risk benefit was favorable then. I’m worried if I identify the hospital the wrath of the pharma people pushing vaxx and asking for 75 year seal on trials results will come down on them. BTW the link to testicular cysts is limited to autopsy findings COVID in patients as well as known ACE reception in that tissue. So suddenly I have cysts there. Might be coincidence, but I suspect the vaxx. What use is any of this? I suggest asking your doctor whether he recommends boosters for you considering the available awareness of the angiotensin II & coagulation link. What is the risk vs benefit? I believe I would not survive another booster. Since Omicron variants are ~95% dominant and is much less aggressive and I am triple vaccinated, and I am taking anti coagulation meds plus an ACE drug, the case is about 1000 to 1 against another booster.
It would be amusing to ask your doctor to write down a note that he is aware of your two reaction events yet still recommends a booster. If you insist on being boosted I do suggest asking for a drug like Telmisartan/ Micardis. I am told that you may get such cooperation from many doctors but they will not mention COVID as this is presently “off label”. No matter what, I wish you health.

Same here! I started having both tachycardia and afib 1month after I got the 3rd Moderna shot. On daily meds now and hating it. Reluctant to get the 4th shot. 😩
