COVID-19 Vaccines Might Lead to Cardiac Events

The Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo announced new guidance regarding mRNA shots. He said they are associated with an 84-percent increase in cardiac-related adverse events among males 18-39 years old.

Dr. Ladapo oversees the Florida Department of Health, known as Florida Health, which has issued updated guidance on the COVID-19 mRNA injections based on recent analysis compiled from state-based databases. Florida Health researchers used Florida data on vaccinations, death and coronavirus disease test results and merged the data using a self-controlled-case-series method. This technique was previously developed years ago to evaluate vaccine safety by analyzing death as related to injection exposure.

Because both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA injections require a multi-dose schedule, a single modification was employed. The last vaccination preceding death was used as the single exposure in the study. This analysis found that there is an 84-percent increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. Therefore, Ladapo recommends against males in this age range from receiving the shots. Others who should avoid the shots include those with pre-existing cardiac conditions. Ladapo also said that men older than 60 had a 10 percent increased risk of cardiac-related death.
