Latest Kaiser Permanente Study Reflects Increased Risk of Heart Issues Post-vax

A research paper published today in the Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that thousands of American young men suffered from heart inflammation after receiving mRNA-based Covid shots. Most likely, the data used to evaluate the rate is drastically underreported.

Research by major healthcare provider and staunch proponent of Covid shots Kaiser Permanente found that one in 6,643 boys aged 12 to 15 years old and one in 8,577 young men aged 16 to 17 developed myocarditis or pericarditis after receiving their second Pfizer shot.

The incidence rate for other demographics is much lower, according to the findings.

According to the paper, for those who got their first Covid mRNA dose, there were 18 confirmed cases out of 3.5 million vaccine recipients. Out of 3.4 million people who got double-jabbed, only 119 developed heart inflammation.

It is unclear how accurate this data is since the researchers reviewed only 340 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis in hospitals across eight U.S. states. The data was taken from the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), which is a collaborative project run by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Kaiser Permanente, and a couple of other major healthcare providers. Considering the established fact that the agency is turning a blind eye on Covid vaccine safety monitoring in its primary pharmacovigilance database, VAERS, the accuracy of the VSD remains up for speculation.

The paper observes that, unlike VAERS, the VSD’s identification of cases uses “active surveillance.” Presumably, that means participating hospitals are obligated to submit data on cases linked to the shots to the VSD. VAERS, in contrast, is a “passive,” i.e., voluntary system. It is worth noting, however, that a majority of the reports in VAERS don’t come from individuals but are filed by the vaccine manufacturers themselves (37 percent), medical professionals (36 percent), and state immunization programs (10 percent). Only seven percent of reports come from vaccine recipients, with the remaining 10 percent coming from “other sources,” per the HHS. As of the latest update, 52,713 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis were reported to VAERS, which only catches one percent of the actual reports, per the HHS’s Lazarus Report

In addition to that, only those cases that were reported within seven days of the vaccination were considered by the Kaiser Permanente researchers.

The paper notes that the incidence of heart inflammation was slightly higher among those who received a booster.

Even those likely underreported numbers show an increase in myocarditis incidence compared with the historic baseline. For example, according to the CDC, in 2015-2016, 1.8 cases in 100,000 teenagers aged 15 to 18 had this condition. For children in general, the rate was 0.8 in 100,000.

Dr. Kristin Goddard, the lead of the research, stated that the benefits of the shots still “greatly” outweigh the risks, according to The Daily Mail.

The outlet points out the analysis of cardiac complications after the mRNA inoculations done by the CDC in April 2022. The agency found that the rate was closer to one in 600 for boys aged 12 to 15 years after the second dose. That is much higher than the Kaiser study found.

The CDC claims that in “most cases of myocarditis and pericarditis” following vaccination with mRNA shots, “patients who presented for medical care have responded well to medications and rest and had prompt improvement of symptoms.”

Such a claim is rather Orwellian, since the “improvement of symptoms” does not equate to “recovery.”

Myocarditis and pericarditis are neither mediocre nor mild conditions. The mortality rate is estimated to be up to 20 percent after one year and 50 percent after five years. That means that within five years, half of those affected will die. In particular, myocarditis is associated with necrosis (death) of heart muscle cells. As a result, the heart scars.

The CDC admits that the “long-term outcomes of myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination” are only being “assessed.”  

A peer-reviewed paper published in Nature this June shows that rates of myocarditis after a second dose can actually be up to 88 and 140 times normal for young females and males, respectively.

Heart inflammation in young people is also associated with the Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) because of the toxic effect of the shot’s spike protein on the heart.

In one of the most recent interviews with The New American, Idaho-based pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole explained that the spike protein produced by the heart muscle causes its inflammation and weakening. Other cardiac tissues become inflamed as well, and many vital processes, such as electrical conduction, get disrupted. As a result, the cardiovascular system or its parts fail, and a person dies. That explains the record number of young, perfectly fit athletes dying at unprecedented rates.

According to USA Facts, 61 percent, or roughly 15,359,389 Americans aged 12 to 17, are double-dosed with Covid shots.
