So just like the COVID vaccine, feel free to be another guinea pig for the RSV vaccine roll out. I think I will wait until at least the three RSV seasonal monitoring is complete with more concrete info before I would consider it.

First of all, afib is not a big deal, some people get palpatations just by thinking about them. And the study showed that 10 people who got the vaccine had afib, and FOUR people who had the placebo also had it. That's out of 25,000 people total - 12,500 who got the vaccine and 12,500 who got the placebo.
There was a DIFFERENT study, where people got the vaccine PLUS an FDA approved flu vaccine, one right after the other in the same visit. In THAT study, one person got GB, and two people had ADEM. That study had only 2500 people in it total.
So the take-away, to me, is don't get both on the same day, if you get them at all.
