Except there seems to be no evidence that covid itself causes heart problems. Studies showing a link seemed to come about during the clinical trials which is interesting.

Here's a study out of Israel which was unable to find an association:

Even in spring 2021, a study did not find any association:

There was also a recent study that also confirmed the findings. It would be very interesting to find out who funded the studies which found a link between "covid heart" and covid. The huge talking point when myocarditis was linked to the vaccine was oh but covid also causes myocarditis and at a higher rate. Of course, given that covid vaccines do not stop transmission, that talking point is irrelevant as now you compound whatever risk you had of getting myo from covid with the risks from the vaccine but they still bring that talking point up.

I think covid does have a slight risk of cardiovascular problems. I have a family member who has suffered that after getting covid and he is not vaccinated. So it does happen.
