We got rid of the control group, I wonder if that was smart.

Control group here. My heart is perfectly fine and I got symptomatic COVID 2 times.

Also control group here.
Early 50's, caught original (& symptomatic) Rona early on. Heart seems fine.
Son (also control group) caught COVID recently, recovered, heart seems fine.
Wife had a vaccine so not in the control group - had an adverse reaction to it and stopped at jab #1.

It's not a control if it's self-selected.

Nonsense. If a person is unjabbed, they're in the control group, period.

Nope. For the control group to be valid, it must be drawn from the same reference class as the treatment.
You could of course argue that in all respects that matter for the risk of heart disease, people who take vaccines are the same as people who don't. I would disagree, and only a bet could settle the difference.
