COVID-19 Vaccines Likely Cause Higher Rates and Diversity of Cardiovascular Adverse Effects than Currently Acknowledged

By now, most of you know that mRNA-based vaccines against COVID-19 cause Myocarditis and Pericarditis at unsettlingly high rates in men under 30. These rates, depending on which study you choose to believe, regularly range between 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 10,000 (see link 1, link 2 for a quick summary). If you want more specific data and links about this phenomenon, let me know. An educated guess based on combining data from different reports and publications (aka meta-analysis), would suggest that 1 in 3,000 to 1 in 5,000 males under 24 years of age require at least some hospitalization to treat post-vaccine myocarditis or pericarditis. But it gets worse, if you can believe it. I have come across numerous instances of people complaining on social media outlets (Twitter, Reddit, Facebook etc) about doctors linking post-vaccine Myocarditis/ Pericarditis in adolescent boys and young men to those mRNA vaccines. It therefore stands to reason that the real rates of post-vaccine cardiac inflammation syndromes are probably significantly higher, and it would not surprise me if we eventually found out that the rates were higher than 1 in 1,000. For comparison, the smallpox vaccine used to inoculate military personnel causes cardiac inflammation syndromes in somewhere between 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 30,000.

This however only starts scratching the surface of what might be a much larger problem inherent to mRNA-based vaccines in that population. For every case of Myocarditis or Pericarditis serious enough to require immediate medical attention and hospitalization, there are probably 5-10 times more moderate cases which were never enumerated because the symptoms were not severe enough to make people seek or receive specific medical attention. I distinctly remember some now-deleted or censored Reddit groups, which were curiously pro-vaccine, where multiple younger vaccine recipients persistently complained about heaviness in the chest, fatigue upon even mild exertion, feeling winded for weeks after vaccination etc. It is noteworthy that the age distribution of those reporting these moderate but vague symptoms was almost identical to those most at risk of post-vaccine cardiac inflammation. These social media groups were also the first place where I started hearing about the alarming high frequency of other supposedly “rare” adverse effects of mRNA vaccines such as Menorrhagia and other abnormal menstruation patterns, Herpes Zoster, Bell’s palsy and some other odd symptoms.

But wait.. it gets even more interesting. People in those groups also reported a different class of cardiovascular complications in the older (above 60 years) age ranges. These often took the form of significantly elevated blood pressure for 2-3 weeks after the vaccination, almost always after the second dose. Then there were all those pesky reports of otherwise reasonably healthy relatives in their 50s and 60s dropping dead or dying in their sleep from myocardial infraction. While it is not unusual for people in that age range to experience heart attacks, it is most curious that so many of the ones reported in those social media groups occurred within 1-7 days of vaccination with mRNA vaccines, specifically the 2nd dose or booster. Correlation is not causation, but too much correlation is suspicious- to put it mildly. It would not surprise me if we found out in the future that there was a real correlation between mRNA vaccines and the risk of myocardial infraction- especially in the older age ranges. And this brings us to the more controversial topic of increased risk of sudden death due to cardiac arrest in younger age ranges.

Some of you might have heard others comment on the unusually high number of young male soccer players in Europe experiencing sudden death due to cardiac arrest or retiring due to heart problems. Isn’t it odd that professional sportsmen who are in far better physical shape than vast majority of population, even adjusted for age, are experiencing noticeably higher rates of cardiac issues than in previous years? Then there is the other pesky issue of how mortality due to reasons other than COVID-19, suicide, drug or alcohol abuse and motor vehicle accidents in those under 40 or 50 years has gone up in countries with large-scale COVID-19 vaccination campaigns centered on mRNA-based vaccines. Perhaps someone should look if there is a correlation between this increase in mortality and start of vaccination programs for this age range. It is hard to ignore that there has a rather worrying increase in obituaries of people under 50 where the cause is listed as sudden or brief illness. It may be just noise, but increasing reports of healthy college and school age kids dying suddenly or in their sleep need to be more thoroughly investigated, especially because of their temporal association with vaccination programs for COVID-19.

A few of you might have also heard speculation about whether the fainting spell recently experienced by a female “comedian” (Heather McDonald) was due to her vaccination status. There are those wonder if the odd and untimely death of Bob Saget has anything to do with similar circumstances. And there are reports of other performers who made a public virtue of their vaccination status, and who are not above 60, having to cancel appearances and tours for unspecified health cares which required hospitalization. It is all very curious.. isn’t it?
