A safety monitoring system flagged that U.S. drugmaker Pfizer Inc and German partner BioNTech's updated COVID-19 shot could be linked to a type of brain stroke in older adults, according to preliminary data analyzed by U.S. health authorities.
It sounds like it isn't even a study. It's some kind of medical records system that popped a flag bc a certain threshold of people in a certain group had a certain medical issue.
Some quick maths tells me that 40000 Americans would normally have a stroke in that period. This won't become a stroke epidemic. A 0.024% risk of stroke in the vaccinated elderly population sounds like better odds than catching covid unvaccinated
You could get it from an arrhythmia secondary to long covid, say new afib that throws out a thrombus and hits the brain in one of the many stenotic arteries up there from poor diets - none of which may be an individuals fault which is why it's so maddening, actual good health requires revolution.

How many got strokes during that 3 week span that didn't get the vaccine?

doesn't covid also cause strokes lol?
yes, an increased risk of 52% lol, or 4 extra strokes per 1000 people
guess at least some of that is caused by immune response
