Summary Context
For adults over 40, emergency calls for cardiac arrest and ACS during vaccination period, but no difference from 2019 to 2020. for younger people, calls increased by 25% during vaccine rollout. inference is that covid Vaccination signficantly increases the risk of severe heart damage
Comments
This study shows higher rates of cardiovascular side effects after vaccination– it is not statistically powered very well, but the authors sound the alarm that emergency medicine reports indicate severe issues need investigating and may not be reported systematically.
Abstract or Results, Key Passages
“While not establishing causal relationships, the findings raise concerns regarding vaccine-induced undetected severe cardiovascular side-effects and underscore the already established causal relationship between vaccines and myocarditis, a frequent cause of unexpected cardiac arrest in young individuals. Surveillance of potential vaccine side-effects and COVID-19 outcomes should incorporate EMS and other health data to identify public health trends (e.g., increased in EMS calls), and promptly investigate potential underlying causes.”
