This is a marvelous précis of all that is wrong!
No, it’s not. Bhattacharya is a health economist, and he knows zilch about epidemology.
Dr. Bhattacharya has an M.D. degree from Stanford (1997) and a Ph.D. In economics (2000). He is currently a professor of medicine at Stanford. Even the leftists at Wikipedia acknowledge this. He has an extensive publication record in medicine (including epidemiology and public health), as well as other fields, in peer-reviewed journals. This information is readily accessible to any person with access to a connected computer and the minimum of internet search skills.
Therefore, I must conclude that you are either lacking in those requisites or a liar.
Addendum: A third alternative occurred to me: braniwashed.
Is this related to the CovidScam and the vaccine that was not a vaccine? Or is it simply a reminder that life is always uncertain … even when it is not nasty, brutish, and short?

… SCD is not uncommon, Yin noted, explaining that factors such as intense physical activities, underlying cardiovascular diseases and the effects of certain medications can all contribute to its occurrence. …"
Did China use mRNA vaccines? I thought they did not.
They didn’t. The likely cause is the mass-infection policy that China eventually had to accept after tying to maintain Zero Covid:
Hmmm! I wonder. There is a huge overlap between the set of individuals who were injected with something and the set of individuals who were diagnosed with Covid. Throw in inconsistencies in the injectants and inconsistencies in the diagnoses … and it would be a statistical miracle if it were possible to identify either injectant or disease as “the cause” of later cardiac problems.
This ought to rustle some jimmies amongst the kooks.
Cardiovascular issues as a part of Long COVID19 have been established irrespective of vaccination, no miracles needed.
Since Russia and China haven’t managed to get mRNA vaccines to work, they tried negging them with information ops:
