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.

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.

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:
