Millions upon millions of people of all types, ages, sexes, proclivities, and education have been vaccinated with the three or four most common COVID vaccines, and most of them several times, even with changed vaccines. The hospitals have not been overrun with heart patients. However, a lot more people are aging, and age is known to be a factor in AF, as well as height, sex (males get it more than females), sleep apnea (often undetected), BMI higher than 27, and neck girth higher than 17" (yes, it's a thing with AF and with sleep apnea, which, as I said, is a precursor in many AF sufferers).
Recently, I have had both Zostavax and the two Shingrix vaccines, plus the twin pneumonia vaccines. Four years ago I also had a tetanus and diphtheria booster, which everyone should get about every ten years. I had a yellow fever vaccine 13 years ago. Sorry, no heart conditions that came as a result of the COVID vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer, both twice). In fact, my AF was diagnosed in 20-17, quite a bit earlier than any whiff of COVID.

Yes, millions upon millions have been vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines and “most” have not experienced any problem. However, “everyone” is not the same as “most”. There are some whose health and lives have been drastically changed due to the vaccine. You may not be one of them, and you may not know anyone. But, we can’t make judgements about the possible after effects of the vaccine based on your limited sample size. The ability to capture data for those who have had such after effects was not effective. Many have discussed their issues with their doctors and may have shared their experiences on this forum. But, in many cases their situation is not accurately or effectively recorded on any global or national database. Know that there is a small percentage of people who have had significant health implications due to the mRNA vaccines, and feel blessed that you have not had to experience the difficulties that some have had to deal with as a result of their choice to get the vaccinated. What we don’t know is how that group of individuals would have faired through the pandemic without getting the vaccine. God bless you and those dealing with these after effects.

I am happy for you that you had no issues.
As you know everyone is different.
However you can’t dispute and it is very well documented so many people were injured from the vaccine.
And now they that want to put MRNA in other vaccines.
The triggers you mentioned for A-Fib BMI etc do not apply to me. Again everyone is different and when it comes to A-Fib i dont believe one size fits all.
You shouldn’t be as you stated “sorry no heart conditions that came as a result from the covid vaccines”.
Instead be happy and feel fortunate.
