COVID-19 Infrection Increases Risk of Vascular Problems

Here's more bad news about COVID-19 infections. A large study in the UK shows an increase in vascular problems (heart attack, stroke, thrombosis) after infections. The study analysed cases after the onset of the pandemic through December 2020, so doesn't show the effect of vaccination. However, it is noted that the risk of post-COVID vascular problems is lower in people who weren't hospitalized, so I would hope that vaccination would reduce the risk.

(I wanted to quote the conclusions, but copying text from the article appears to be blocked, so you'll have to read them for yourself).
