Vaccine-Caused Sudden Heart Failure due to COVID-19 Shots

In recent discussions about COVID-19 vaccines, concerns have been raised regarding potential cardiac risks. Let's delve into the available evidence to provide a clearer understanding of this topic.

Reports have emerged suggesting a shift in energy metabolism in the human heart of vaccinated individuals, with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) data showing a shift from free fatty acids to glucose. Additionally, the PET pattern resembles global ischemia, potentially due to vaccine Spike protein hemagglutination in myocardial capillaries. However, it's crucial to note that these findings do not necessarily indicate a causal link between the vaccine and cardiac issues.

The exact number of vaccine victims who develop symptoms months to years after injection has not been specified in previous reports. small patches of dysfunctional, inflamed, or scarred myocardium may serve as a nidus for re-entrant ventricular tachycardia, leading to cardiac arrest.

However, current evidence indicates that cardiac arrests related to COVID-19 vaccines are extremely rare. No conclusive evidence shows mRNA from COVID-19 vaccines accumulates in human heart muscle, causing harm. The study data available focus rather on the incidence of cardiovascular events after vaccination, not on the presence of vaccine mRNA in heart tissue.

The incidence of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) after mRNA COVID-19 vaccines remains low and is generally mild, with benefits of vaccination outweighing risks, especially considering the significantly higher cardiovascular risks associated with COVID-19 infection itself.

Large-scale studies, including one involving nearly 46 million adults in England, found that the incidence of heart attacks, strokes, and other arterial thromboses was lower after COVID-19 vaccination compared to before vaccination or no vaccination, further supporting cardiovascular safety and a protective effect against these events after vaccination.

COVID-19 infection itself poses a well-established and significantly higher risk of heart attacks, strokes, myocarditis, and mortality compared to vaccination. For example, people infected with COVID-19 early in the pandemic had increased risks of cardiovascular events and death even years after infection.

Leading professional bodies like the American College of Cardiology strongly recommend COVID-19 vaccination for adults with heart disease, citing evidence that vaccines reduce risks of severe illness and adverse cardiovascular outcomes related to respiratory viruses. Systematic reviews also suggest COVID-19 vaccination may reduce cardiovascular mortality, potentially because preventing severe COVID-19 infection avoids associated cardiovascular complications.

In summary, the overall mortality and cardiac arrest rates related to COVID-19 vaccines are very low or not elevated, with the vaccines being cardiovascular-safe. The myocarditis cases reported post-vaccination are rare and usually mild, while COVID-19 infection carries a much greater cardiac risk. There is no substantiated evidence supporting accumulation of mRNA in heart tissue causing cardiac arrests. Vaccination remains a critical tool to protect heart health by preventing COVID-19 and its complications.

However, it's essential to continue monitoring and investigating any reported cases of adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) to ensure the safety of the vaccines. Reports of continued instances of cardiac arrests in vaccinated individuals, as claimed by Dr. Peter McCullough in 2021, should be thoroughly investigated to understand any potential underlying causes.
