caused by COVID-19 vaccines.On May 27,2021,the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)issued a related statement that there may be a link between BNT162b2 vaccine and mRNA-1273 vaccine(Moderna)for the prevention of COVID-19 vaccination and myocarditis[1].On June 2,2021,the Israeli...
In this review, we will discuss myocarditis as one of the uncommon CV complications of both COVID-19 infection and its mRNA vaccines. Less data is available on myocarditis due to other COVID-19 vaccines available worldwide (adenoviral platforms), thus this paper will focus mainly on the 2 ...
There are a couple of considerations here. First, even if there is a correlation between mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis in the young, it remains arareevent and serious disability from it is even rarer. Second, as the article cited by Dr. Hotez found, there is a much higher...
However, if considering the other ill effects of infection with SARS-CoV-2 — both cardiac and not — there was still a strong benefit in immunizing younger people with COVID-19 vaccines other than Moderna, which research suggests has a higher risk for myocarditis than Pfizer’s vaccine. ...
To date, the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) reported a total 1,226 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis after administration of nearly 300 million doses of the mRNAPfizer-BioNtechandModernavaccines. However, it is still deemed an “exceedingly rare” side effect i...
So Covid vaccines may cause myocarditis, but Covid itself causes myocarditis too, right? WRONG! A large-scale Israeli study of 196,992 unvaccinated adults after Covid infection showed that “Covid infection was not associated with either myocarditis or pericarditis.”pic.twitter.com/F...

Myocarditis and an associated risk, pericarditis (inflammation around the heart) have previously been linked to the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines themselves, particularly amongadolescent boysand young men. But the risk is far higher after infection with COVID-19, according to the new paper...
Briefly, 88.1% of participants had the BNT162b2 (Comirnaty, BioNtech, Mainz, Germany) vaccine and the remainder had the CoronaVac vaccine (Sinovac Biotech Ltd., Beijing, China). No participant received different vaccines for the 1st and 2nd doses. 60 out of 67 participants (89.6%) had ...
