Odds are it was. They don’t want to alert the rest of the force and LE generally across the Country. You have a young, seemingly fit male who fits the heart complication profile of the vax.
Probably not. Given any number of other illnesses that can strike suddenly, COVID-19 is just one possibility.
I suspect that if it was Covid, it would have been mentioned right off the bat and used to promote the jab.
