There are around 200 strokes per 100 000 people per year [1].

And number of "heart issues" is even more, only deaths because of heart issues are around ~170 per 100k people per year.

Correlation is not causation.

The numbers are probably even less favorable since the vaccinations have been skewed to the older population for much of the time.
