Today’s vaccine post will be the most famous Covid vaccine conspiracy- that they are causing a ton of cardiac deaths (TLDR, no they are not). To understand this claim requires a couple of different sources, so this will be a fairly long thread.

To look at the most reliable source(s) of Covid vaccine related cardiac deaths, I like to point to South Korea. They reported the worlds largest study on the most severe cardiac outcomes of Covid vaccines. https://jkms.org/DOIx.php?id=10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e317#:~:text=Between%20March%202021%20and%20February,myocarditis%2Fpericarditis%20following%20BNT162b2%20vaccination.

This was a small fraction of millions of vaccine doses which occurred only in one country, which makes them overall really really really rare. Of course I join the vaccine skeptical community in being disappointed about vaccine side effect deaths, but my sympathies end there.

The twisting comes when they try to inflate vaccine myocarditis, heart attacks, strokes, and clot numbers, and also conflate those numbers with each other. We have large epidemiological studies for all of this.

The European EMA, Canadian NACI, Swissmedic, US CDC, British JCVI, Australian TGA, and Nordic Statens Serum Institute are consistent in their position that vaccine myocarditis is a rare outcome primarily isolated to men and teen boys. Severe versions are rare.

Contrarians try to paint these episodes as severe. While the subjective experience to the patient can be severe, the American College of Cardiology explicitly states that there are degrees of myocarditis. Not everybody needs a machine to support their heart.

On the heart failure, clots and strokes, Covid mRNA vaccines clearly decrease the risk, with the exception of the Adenoviral vector Covid vaccine which increases the risk of VITT (which has gotten them the back seat to mRNA). https://heart.bmj.com/content/110/9/635
