This may put some of the many and frequent conspiracy theories surrounding the Covid-19 vaccinations to rest! E.g. almost everyday we learn of some young athlete or healthy person dying suddenly of a supposedly vaccination related cause! Medieval superstition never died out!
"... It is the first study to examine both full and partial vaccination and the link to major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in the United States, confirming similar analyses performed previously using the Korean COVID-19 registry. Researchers used the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) database, the largest national comprehensive database on COVID-19. Since its inception in 2020, the N3C has continuously collected and harmonized data from electronic health records of institutions nationwide. Included in this study were 1,934,294 patients, 217,843 of whom received mRNA vaccine formulations by Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna or viral vector technology by Johnson & Johnson. Cox proportional hazards, a statistical technique, was implemented to assess vaccination association with MACE. ..."
"... “To our surprise, even partial vaccination was associated with lower risk of adverse cardiovascular events,” ... “Given the magnitude of SARS-CoV-2 infection worldwide, we hope our findings could help improve vaccination rates, especially in individuals with coexisting conditions.”
Further work will be necessary to elucidate the mechanisms involved from an immunological perspective and clarify the role of SARS-CoV-2 subtypes and reinfections in their relationship to the risk of MACE. ..."
It appears this journal, i.e. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, does not even publish the abstract of this paper! If true, then this is highly unusual and pretty bad!
COVID-19 Vaccination Linked to Fewer Cardiac Events First U.S. study to show lower risk in patients following SARS-CoV-2
Figure A below is a plot of the probability that patients do not develop MACE versus time since their initial SARS-CoV2 infection, stratified by vaccination status. Figure B below is a depiction of hazard ratio associated with MACE according to each examined factor. For example, patients who were fully vaccinated were 59% as likely to achieve MACE compared to patients who were not vaccinated.
