(Argues so poorly that it doesn't really deserve a response, but I'll follow this digression)

If someone is in poor health, they may be

A) more likely to get COVID, despite being vaccinated, AND

B) more likely to have heart problems

In turn, it doesn't matter what the sample size of your study is. A & B will be correlated, even though there's no causal relationship between vaccination+covid->heart problems; the causal relationship is between "poor health" and "heart problems".
