Firstly, I wanted to scold you for linking a terrible blog post that doesn't even link the study. Are you getting paid to promote such garbage?
Anyway - onto the article:
These changes resulted in an increase of the PULS score from 11% 5 yr ACS risk to 25% 5 yr ACS risk. At the time of this report, these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose of vac.
Big unanswered question: does the ACS risk return to the baseline after 2.5 months? If the 5 year ACS score returns to normal within a couple months, does that mean the risk becomes negligible?
Other unanswered question: What happens to these metrics for a person who becomes infected with COVID-19? Or what about a person who was vaccinated and then becomes infected?
Interesting article either way, but needs more research before I (personally) would be alarmed.
and that's why you are the awsomeist. (my grandson taught me that word)
Very well done.

Even with all the evidence on the jab, you still do not see any of this big pharms working on a reliable and more stable jab the old fashion way, you know why? because it was never about the darn virus.
More and more the real truth behind this jabs is coming to light.
Novavax but someone is trying to block it
www.msn.com...
It seems a safer alternative imho

All the numbers are off, how is it lower vaccinated southern states are still showing fewer cases per million than more vaccinated regions elsewhere
Good question. And I would imagine there are various factors and circumstances that would be significant both alone and in combination with other factors.
One factor is that we should probably expect fewer cases in warm, sunny southern states than the colder and darker northern states, simply because warmth and sunlight are both natural enemies of all viruses. Even with lower vaccination rates and fewer Covid mandates like masks and social distancing. People also tend to spend more time outside in warmer southern states because they have more opportunity to do so comfortably and enjoyably.
But that is only one factor among many. Unfortunately, no one seems interested or compelled to find out why with proper studies and analyses.
Of course, it's more than one factor...
and that's why worldwide and national mandates don't work...
As far seasonally you mean like the seasonal flu, just remember this the world freaked because we were lead to believe...
How is France skyrocketing?
...almost double the transmission rate of the much more relaxed US, pretty sure seasonally we are parallel with France?

That's one way to get the trills and shrols to totally abandon a thread... LoL !!
Beautiful to see how it plays-out.
Have seen it happen a few times now, always the same pattern.

Where is the article? Articles in Circulation, the journal of th American Heart Association, can be viewed online freely; you could post a link to it here. Even abstracts of articles of interest not published in the magazine are viewable.
Where's the article, where's the link? Why aren't the article title, authors and issue of publication mentioned in your post or your link?

Abstract 10712: Mrna COVID Vaccines Dramatically Increase Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning
Steven R Gundry
Originally published8 Nov 2021Circulation. 2021;144:A10712
Abstract
Our group has been using the PLUS Cardiac Test (GD Biosciences, Inc, Irvine, CA) a clinically validated measurement of multiple protein biomarkers which generates a score predicting the 5 yr risk (percentage chance) of a new Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The score is based on changes from the norm of multiple protein biomarkers including IL-16, a proinflammatory cytokine, soluble Fas, an inducer of apoptosis, and Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF)which serves as a marker for chemotaxis of T-cells into epithelium and cardiac tissue, among other markers. Elevation above the norm increases the PULS score, while decreases below the norm lowers the PULS score.The score has been measured every 3-6 months in our patient population for 8 years. Recently, with the advent of the mRNA COVID 19 vaccines (vac) by Moderna and Pfizer, dramatic changes in the PULS score became apparent in most patients.This report summarizes those results. A total of 566 pts, aged 28 to 97, M:F ratio 1:1 seen in a preventive cardiology practice had a new PULS test drawn from 2 to 10 weeks following the 2nd COVID shot and was compared to the previous PULS score drawn 3 to 5 months previously pre- shot. Baseline IL-16 increased from 35=/-20 above the norm to 82 =/- 75 above the norm post-vac; sFas increased from 22+/- 15 above the norm to 46=/-24 above the norm post-vac; HGF increased from 42+/-12 above the norm to 86+/-31 above the norm post-vac. These changes resulted in an increase of the PULS score from 11% 5 yr ACS risk to 25% 5 yr ACS risk. At the time of this report, these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose of vac.We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.

It is hot off the press and who proofreads these days is all Grammarly. Is that your only concern a spelling mistake.?
Not filled with confidence about this paper considering he seems to have misspelled the name of the test he is using...
...an American doctor and author. He is a former cardiac surgeon and currently runs his own clinic, investigating the impact of diet on health. Gundry conducted cardiac surgery research in the 1990s[2] and was a pioneer in infant heart transplant surgery,[3] and is a New York Times best-selling author of The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in "Healthy" Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain.[4]

Well, okay... that's your judgment call. But to be fair... given that it was only misspelled once although mentioned numerous times, it's more likely a typo than anything else.
I'm far more concerned that the tests were conducted and analyzed properly to reach the appropriate and accurate conclusions. At least to the extent that they could be interpreted and conclusions made. Quite often clinical studies and tests answer some questions, only to raise more questions, which then must be studied and analyzed.
Wikipedia describes him as --

Wikipedia -- Steven Gundry
The American Heart Association (AHA) has published several studies by Dr. Gundry in their "Circulation" journal --
Circulation -- Steven Gundry
Dr. Gundry and his research is not without controversy, but he sure doesn't sound like a slouch!
T. Colin Campbell, a biochemist and advocate for plant-based diets, states that The Plant Paradox contains numerous unsupported claims and denies that it makes a "convincing argument that lectins as a class are hazardous."[8] Robert H. Eckel, an endocrinologist and past president of the American Heart Association, argues that Gundry's diet advice contradicts "every dietary recommendation represented by the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association and so on" and that it is not possible to draw any conclusions from Gundry's own research due to the absence of control patients in his studies. Writing in New Scientist, food writer and chef Anthony Warner notes that Gundry's theories "are not supported by mainstream nutritional science" and that evidence of the benefits of high-lectin containing diets "is so overwhelming as to render Gundry’s arguments laughable".[24]
Wikipedia also says this...
...denies that it makes a "convincing argument"... contradicts "every dietary recommendation represented by the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association"... not possible to draw any conclusions from Gundry's own research... "are not supported by mainstream nutritional science"...
