A new study published in The BMJ confirms previous reports of an increased risk of heart inflammation (myocarditis or myopericarditis) after vaccination with BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna) but shows that the absolute number of cases was low, even in younger age groups, providing further evidence to support the overall safety of mRNA vaccines for covid-19.
Just 1.6 cases per 100,000 in younger individuals (12-39 years) after Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine; Findings support the overall safety of mRNA vaccines for covid-19.
A study published by The BMJ today (December 16, 2021) provides more reassuring data on the risk of heart inflammation (myocarditis or myopericarditis) after mRNA vaccination against the covid-19 virus.
It confirms previous reports of an increased risk after vaccination with BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna) but shows that the absolute number of cases was low, even in younger age groups, providing further evidence to support the overall safety of mRNA vaccines for covid-19.
Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and myopericarditis (inflammation of the outer lining of the heart) are rare but serious conditions, usually triggered by a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection.
Recent reports and studies have indicated an increased risk of heart inflammation after mRNA vaccination, particularly after the second dose. But as yet, no study has investigated the association using information from a complete population.
To address this, researchers in Denmark used national healthcare data to look for links between mRNA vaccination and a hospital diagnosis of myocarditis or pericarditis, increased blood troponin levels (a measure of myocardial damage), and a hospital stay lasting more than 24 hours.
Their analyses included nearly 5 million Danish residents aged 12 years or older who received either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine.
Participants were monitored from October 1, 2020 to October 5, 2021, and a range of potentially influential factors were taken into account, such as age, sex, vaccine priority group, and underlying health conditions.
During follow-up, 269 participants developed myocarditis or myopericarditis, of whom 108 (40%) were 12-39 years old and 196 (73%) were male.
Overall, the results show a strong association between vaccination with Moderna and myocarditis or myopericarditis, while vaccination with Pfizer-BioNTech was only associated with an increased rate of myocarditis or myopericarditis among women.
The rate of myocarditis or myopericarditis was higher for Moderna vaccination than for Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination. Nevertheless, the absolute number of events after either vaccine was low, and cases were predominantly mild.
For example, of 3,482,295 individuals vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech, 48 developed myocarditis or myopericarditis within 28 days of vaccination (an absolute rate of 1.4 per 100,000) compared with unvaccinated individuals.
Among women, the absolute rate was 1.3 per 100,000 and in men it was 1.5 per 100,000. Among 12-39 year olds, the absolute rate was 1.6 per 100,000, and in the youngest age group (12-17 year olds) it was only 1 per 100,000 within 28 days of receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
Of 498,814 individuals vaccinated with Moderna, 21 developed myocarditis or myopericarditis within 28 days of vaccination (an absolute rate of 4.2 per 100,000) compared with unvaccinated individuals.
Among women, the absolute rate was 2 per 100,000 and in men it was 6.3 per 100,000. Among 12-39 year olds, the absolute rate was 5.7 per 100,000 within 28 days of receiving the Moderna vaccine.
Both vaccines were also associated with around a 50% reduced risk of cardiac arrest or death (the most severe manifestations of myocarditis or myopericarditis) compared with unvaccinated individuals.
In contrast, there was a 14-fold increased risk of cardiac arrest or death 28 days after a positive covid-19 test compared with uninfected individuals.
This is an observational study, so can’t establish cause, and the researchers point to some potential sources of bias, such as increased public awareness of potential side effects of vaccines, that may have affected the results.
However, they say this was a well designed study based on high quality healthcare data for a complete population, and results were largely unchanged after additional analyses, suggesting that they withstand scrutiny.
As such, the researchers conclude that mRNA vaccination with Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech is associated with an increased risk of myocarditis or myopericarditis in the Danish population, but the absolute rate after either vaccine was low, even in younger age groups.
The benefits of vaccination should be taken into account when interpreting these findings, they add, and larger multinational studies are needed to further investigate the risks of myocarditis or myopericarditis after vaccination within smaller groups.

A study of DATA.
A Randomized controlled trials (RCT) is the ONLY study worth paying any attention to.
“Figures don’t lie, but liars figure”
the Gov’t of Xiden and XDC forced the murderous
concoctions on the pregnant, on nursing mothers,
on infants.
they KNOWINGLY forced the poisons on OTHERS,
and NOT their families, their children, their staff
or THEIR children.
KNOWINGLY.
Most people who would take such are already infected...... your point?
I guess that’s likely true. My problem is that this entire vax debacle wasn’t ‘randomized’ at all. A concoction(s) was hastily approved and distributed on a mass scale - definitely not at random - making the entire population willing to get jabbed, the ‘random’ sample test group.
...was in the 1 per million range a few years ago for young people (16-40)
Now they are telling us to be "reassured" that the current rate is 1.6 per 100,000. That is well over a ten-fold increase.
I wonder what has been happening in the last two years. Were these patients subjected to the Jab or not?
The study is junk. It does not show what they say it does.
Of course…/s
Myocarditis and inflammatory cardiomyopathy: current evidence and future directions
Currently, no established clinical markers are available to characterize the prognosis of patients with inflammatory cardiomyopathy.
They're flying blind. And telling you to get vaxxed anyway.
See my reply #47.
“I really wish Freepers would quit repeating this falsehood of “99.8%” survivable.”
I really wish some freepers like yourself would learn what stats are and stop using them in a gullible fashion.
In no way are death counts valid for 5-7 years. The CDC needs that time to remove duplicates and other bad data, yet, here are gullible people such as yourself using them long before they are ready for publication.
Myocarditis and pericarditis are just two of the possible side effects. There are many others. Three members of the family had suffered serious medical problems since their vaccinations and none were myocarditis or pericarditis (catastrophic cytokine storm at age 36. low blood platelets at age 36, heart attack at age 71). Only one of those family members survived.
“confirms previous reports of an increased risk of heart inflammation (myocarditis or myopericarditis) after vaccination with Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna but shows that the absolute number of cases was low, even in younger age groups....”
Yea, as long as it’s not you or your kid resting on a metal slab in the morgue at room temperature, everything is “rare,” right?
These psychopaths are telling you to put your hand into a jar with 100 candy pieces knowing several of them are rat-poison based. While most candy pieces “are not rat poison,” how the hell does one know the candy he is being FORCED TO EAT BY THE US GOV isn’t poisoned?
I use the candy analogy since candy is about as effective in “stopping COVID” as the rat-poison vaxx is.
I am sure all those soccer/footballers who dropped on the field while playing with heart attacks from their clot shots are comforted by this study.
Ok then...I’ll get the jab.
Not.
you taking the chance?
Polio outbreak in 1952: Appx 58,000 cases and 3000 died with over 21,000 with some permanent paralysis. https://www.health.pa.gov/topics/Documents/Diseases%20and%20Conditions/Polio%20.pdf
Where are you getting your 99 percent statistic?
So, you’re comparing polio to “COVID”. Nice try.
Worth repeating...and most of the vaccinated myocarditis cases were mild.
By contrast, the risk of cardiac arrest among the vaccinated dropped by 50%.
And by the way, trying to equate “COVID” to polio, or the “COVID” “vaccines” to the polio vaccine, apart from being absurd on its face, is an attempt to misdirect from my point, which is that there is NO way that “COVID” can be used as justification for the various forms of coercion, abject fear/panic, or tyranny to which we are being subjected.
That sucks - I hope your brother will be OK.
I don’t trust these shot-pushers any farther than I can throw them.
None of this surprises me. Any new drug or therapeutic treatment will create side effects in some people that will be harmful. That’s why it normally takes years to get a new drug approved for use by the general public.
I took both Pfizer shots in early 2021. We were one of the first places in the United States to get the shots, and I took one for the team. My right leg swelled up, and for a few weeks, the leg was covered in bruises, as if someone had taken a stick and hit me with it. The injection site hurt until the middle of the summer. I became far more fatigued than normal, and I’m just shaking that fatigue off right now. My leg still hurts a little, too.
I had gotten treatment for varicose veins on my right leg a few years back. In a more rational world, the side effects that I had would have emerged during testing, and when the disease came through the community, a physician would have determined that it wasn’t in my best interest to get the shot because of the vein surgery. In the hysteria over Covid, though, authorities assured me it was safe, and I took one for the team.
This study tells me that there are certain people out there who will have negative, and probably life-threatening, reactions to the shot. We need to identify who those people are and make sure that they don’t get the shot.
This isn’t a study showing that the shot if safe. This is a beta test telling me that there are side effects. More testing needs to be done.
Clearly the shot f****d me up, though. I didn’t get the booster for that reason.
I’ve read in other websites and heard in conversation fears about the shots being a way to depopulated the Earth, citing Bill Gates, the George Guidestones, nanoparticles, you name it. I’m far more worried about the human tendency to panic and create unforseen problems. A friend of mine is dying from his exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam - he was a pilot - and he tells me that their focus at the time was to flush out the enemy from the jungle, not the health consequences of exposure. And here he is at the end of his life, and that exposure is killing him. And that’s my concern about the Covid shot. I’m currently working with software produced by the company owned by Bill Gates, and it’s laughable after working with his stuff to conclude he could create evil little nanobots linked to 5G that would kill us, but bad engineering is a distinct possibility.
I’m going to have to set up another appointment with the vein doctor to redo the surgery for the varicose veins, which have re-emerged with a vengeance. Getting that shot was one of the great regrets of my life.
