1ºNature z**king Magazine. Fact Checkers are checked by (actual) science. Highlights:

"There is a robust and statistically significant association between the weekly Cardiac Arrest (CA) and Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) call counts, and the rates of 1st and 2nd vaccine doses administered to this age group. At the same time there is no observed statistically significant association between COVID-19 infection rates and the CA and ACS call counts."

"The results highlight a statistically significant increase of over 25% in both CA (Cardiac Arrest)...and ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) calls for patients of ages 16–39 during January–May 2021, compared to the same period in 2020."

Interestingly, for CA, there is no statistically significant difference in the respective call volume across the full year (January–December) from 2019 to 2020...prior to the vaccination rollout and third COVID-19 wave in this age group.

Similarly, for ACS, the increase across the full year from 2019 and 2020 (significant relative increase of 15.8% [P < 0.001]) was followed by an even a larger increase in the January to May period from 2020 to 2021 (significant relative increase of 26.0% [P < 0.001]), which was during the third COVID-19 wave and vaccination rollout.

Both genders in the 16–39 age group experienced increases in CA and ACS calls from 2020 to 2021 for January–May. Among males, CA calls increased by 25.0% (P = 0.073) and ACS calls increased significantly by 21.3% (P < 0.01). Among females, CA calls increased by 31.4% (P = 0.224) and ACS calls instead significantly by 40.8% (P < 0.01)."
