Covid can damage the heart. If the heart already has some sort of weakness that you were born with, you could be adversely affected.
If you have a person that is otherwise healthy but has a structural defect in the heart, yes pumping efficiency is reduced and they have reduced capacity. That is for certain.
If you have a person with heart disease, the heart disease is just one of many issues they have as a result of poor lifestyle choices.
These two heart conditions are completely different. The otherwise healthy person has a healthy, responsive immune system. The person with heart disease has systemic issues that cripples their ability to protect themselves naturally.
I have taken this out of order because this is a big deal to me.Likewise, please resist the urge to strawman this like you seem to like to do.
"Strawman:
You misrepresented someone's argument to make it easier to attack.
By exaggerating, misrepresenting, or just completely fabricating someone's argument, it's much easier to present your own position as being reasonable, but this kind of dishonesty serves to undermine honest rational debate."
I try really hard to not strawman anyone. Being human I do fail. Please show me where I strawmaned you so I can learn from it and try to prevent it in the future.
Personally, I like outdoor activity too much like biking, hiking and swimming. The chance that I couldn't do those things anymore due to having my lungs or heart affected is not worth the risk of getting covid and having them damaged. Totally worth any miniscule risk of a vaccine.
My friend, I champion your right to to make the choice that is right for you. I also champion the right for anyone that wants to make a different choice from you to do that as well.
I firmly believe that everyone has the right to do what they want to and that those choices have consequences. I have chosen to not be vaccinated yet. If I want to have guests in my house and some or all of them do not want to come based on that choice, I am fine with that. That said, I would not allow a person that I thought was compromised into my home unless they were vaccinated. There are 2 reasons for this: 1. An unhealthy covid infected person will likely spread more virus than a healthy infected person. 2. I do not want to be responsible for an infection that kills someone I think is making a bad choice.
I am not hear to try to tell you you should not be vaccinated or that you should tolerate me being in your space unvaccinated. I am here to say that it is my choice. Public is public and private is private. If anyone wants to tell me how to live my live and how to look after my health they had better be ready and willing to make some changes as well because I have some things I want them to do if they expect me to fall in line.
