Increased cardiovascular events in Israel during vaccine rollout and third wave

I am just comparing the potential veracity of a peer reviewed article in Nature of two MIT authors and one emergency physician from Ben Gurion University with a one line dismissal and a newspaper link. Which one is "we'll [sic] known" to be more plausible?

This is not published in Nature. Scientific reports is much less prestigious and selective.

I said possibly less reliable because of some interesting data mismatches, not dismissing it. considering then other comments addressing the flaws in their stats, it seems quite wrong. I have a Masters degree from UBC and work as a data scientist, not that actually matters…

Can you point to the specific error in the paper? I have a PhD from MIT, but I am not sure why "UBC" is relevant to the paper in question.

I cannot, it is not my area of expertise. For the same reason "MIT" is relevant.
