COVID-19 vaccine linked with lower risk of heart attack, stroke: Study
The Hill ^ | 06-16-26 | Sarah Davis

The COVID-19 vaccine lowered the risk of cardiovascular issues associated with the virus by around 40 percent, according to new research.

The study, which was published in JAMA Internal Medicine on Monday, studied the incidence of medical events like strokes and heart attacks in veterans immunized for COVID-19.

The study found that the vaccine decreased the risk of cardiovascular death associated with the virus by nearly 60 percent, the risk of heart attack by around 40 percent and the risk of stroke by just over 30 percent. Additionally, it decreased the risk of hospitalization for heart failure by around 40 percent, according to the study.

The researchers found that people over the age of 75 with the greatest reduction in risk for these health issues, as well as those with pre-existing health conditions. Other research supports these new findings.

I had myocarditis from this vaccine affect my formerly optimum heart. From 110/70 to 200/130 in one day which the ER noted on my records was “endocarditis” which is absolutely false since I was given only heart medication and not antibiotics as treatment.

Months of recovery and I am still taking a small amount of BP medicine. My BP is currently 115/75. It is a good thing I was as healthy as a horse when this happened. Someone with pre-existing health problems would have had much more trouble recovering.

BS on this article.

This conclusion is easy to reach when linking the jab to any negative side effects is prohibited.

Sure, five years later everyone with a weak heart has been killed off by the vax, leaving only healthy hearts.

These are random “studies” (likely manipulated) to cover their corrupt a**es for killing and injuring sooooooooooooooooooo many around the world. Who would trust these fools?

Let me descend from the clouds and spread the truth among you.. (lol!)

If you recollect, COVID itself most impacted the elderly and infirm.

That means COVID killed off a lot of folks already sick.

And what does leave behind....

queue drum roll and peals of thunder....

A comparatively healthy set of elderly people.

Meaning, it's not the vaccine, it's the math of killing off a bunch of sick old folks.

Yeah, dead people don't have heart problems.

Cull the herd and the herd then appears healthy.

I know someone that took the J&J jab and then the Moderna jab. She was only 63 with no health issues, but she dropped dead in her kitchen last January. So much for that BS of “reducing risks”. She was a pro-jab person, as was the rest of her family. She told my friend that he shouldn’t show up at their family reunion unless he got the jab. He refused and he’s still alive and kickin, thank God.

The primary and most widely discussed heart-related side effects in relatively young people who received COVID-19 vaccines are myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the outer lining of the heart) (Ho et al., 2021). So, if you are an old person like me, your heart problems go away, but unfortunately cancer risks rise. But the good news, you don’t have as long to live anyway, and life is so much tougher, so why worry?

“This seems like the “eggs good/not good” debate.”

You picked up on that too.

COVID-19 — and, less frequently, the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine — can cause inflamed heart tissue in some people. A new study implicates a pair of substances secreted by immune cells and proposes a strategy to mitigate the vaccine effect.

https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2025/12/myocarditis-vaccine-covid.html

Myocarditis (with overall rate around 1.62%) was shown to be the most common post-COVID19 immunization cardiac event.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9905103/

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, called the myocardium. The condition can reduce the heart’s ability to pump blood. Myocarditis can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and rapid or irregular heartbeats.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/myocarditis/symptoms-causes/syc-20352539

https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/new-report-biden-administration-pressured-fda-and-ignored-risks-during-initial

They have to cover the real truth of the efforts by the liberals from 2020 to 2024 on this. They have a mid-term coming up this year.

It should be noted that the Pfizer study I linked above did not quite reach statistical significance is demonstrating increased all cause mortality among those who got the Pfizer injection. IIRC, there was only an approximately 2 standard deviations in all cause mortality between the Pfizer and placebo groups, rather than the generally accepted 3 standard deviations. This lack of statistical significance could have been addressed had the study continued ... but, once the study showed a trend towards greater all cause mortality among the Pfizer group, the study was terminated, the placebo group members were all injected with the Pfizer product so no future studies could be done using those people as a placebo group, and Pfizer attempted to hide the results of the study for, IIRC, 75 years while the Pfizer injection was rolled out to the general public.

A 40% decrease of a .1% risk is statistical noise.

The logic is convoluted, almost suggesting that there are no cardiovascular benefits unless you become infected with Covid, in which case, the vaccine failed to perform its primary function.

From the article: The study, which was published in JAMA Internal Medicine studied the incidence of medical events like strokes and heart attacks in veterans immunized reportedly immunized for COVID-19.

No one was immunized for COVID-1984, regardless of what the CDC and their pfascist cohorts changed their definition to. O M M O I R C O R N O I N C proved that.

And I suspect, being veterans, they were more likely to find someone willing to fill out the shot cards without administering the shot since the Veteran's Administration wouldn't treat them without a shot card.

The reality of this article, Big Pharma needs some positive from their Covid therapeutic poison that was forced onto the world human population. Depletion of the human population while making 100’s of billions of dollars for Big Pharma and those in the loops of government is what it was designed to do. It worked.
