It could be vax related, who knows? But, one of the things we were taught in Basic Training was to not lock our knees when standing in formation for a prolonged period. It causes circulation issues that cause you to pass out.
I can’t tell you how many men and women I saw pass out during ceremonies and that was over 35 years ago.
Having said all that, I’m sure these elite Honor Guard members are trained to not make that mistake. It also looks like they’re trained to recognize when someone has exceeded their capacity to stand at attention, for whatever reason.

I lost count of how many folks passed out while standing in formation. It happens. While it could be the vax, my money is on locked knees.
Me too. Saw it three times in basic.
