Will Jones, TCW Defending Freedom: Covid vaccines raise risk of severe heart inflammation up to 120-fold, says study
COVID vaccination increases the risk of severe heart inflammation up to 120-fold, a major study from Scandinavia published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has found.
The study looked at more than 23million patient records covering the over-12 populations of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden from the start of the vaccine rollout in December 2020 to October 5 2021.
For young males aged 16-24 years within 28 days of a second dose the study found severe myocarditis (requiring inpatient hospital admission) around five times more common after Pfizer and 14 times more common after Moderna. This corresponded to six events per 100,000 people after Pfizer and 18 events per 100,000 after Moderna. A second dose of Moderna given after a first dose of Pfizer came with even higher risk: a 36-fold increased risk, corresponding to 27 events per 100,000 people. The Moderna vaccine has three times the dose of mRNA of the Pfizer vaccine, which the authors suggest lies behind the increased risk.

The authors conclude the risks ‘should be balanced against the benefits of protecting against severe Covid-19 disease’. However, given the extremely low risk of Covid to healthy young males and the considerably elevated risk of severe myocarditis following vaccination – plus the risks associated with other adverse effects, short and long term – it’s hard to see how it could be worth it, or why these vaccines have not already been withdrawn for younger age groups.
