VAERS Data Reveals 223-Fold Increase in Myocarditis Reports Post-COVID-19 Vaccination
In the wake of the widespread distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, including Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Janssen across the United States, a surge in adverse event reports was documented through the Vaccine Adverse Events Reports System (VAERS).
VAERS tracks vaccine side effects by allowing patients and healthcare professionals to report any unexpected reactions, helping authorities at the CDC and FDA to scrutinize and monitor vaccine safety. Concerns over safety issues with COVID-19 vaccination came as early as the beginning of 2021. Loss of medical licensure threatened doctors from voicing dissenting opinions. Medical professionals or news media who questioned short-term, or long-term safety with the novel vaccines, and strayed from the official public health messaging, were often censored—including this news media.
An analysis was recently published in Sage Journals, titled “Determinants of COVID-19 Vaccine-induced Myocarditis”. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, often caused by viral infections or other immune-related conditions, and it can affect the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.
The creators of the investigation aimed to delve into VAERS data, specifically focusing on myocarditis cases, and explore the potential correlation between COVID-19 vaccines and the occurrence of myocarditis.
Utilizing statistical methods, the study assessed the frequency of myocarditis reports with respect to sex, age, and dose number, comparing them with historical values and vaccine administration data from the Our World in Data database.
The researchers uncovered troubling indications in the data. According to their analysis, myocarditis reports in VAERS following COVID-19 injection in 2021 were 223 times higher than the average of all vaccines in the past 30 years. This marked a 2500% increase in reports, with youths and males being most affected. Emergency care and hospitalization were required in 76% of cases, and 3% resulted in death. Myocarditis was more likely after the second dose, and individuals under 30 were at a higher risk.
They concluded that “COVID-19 vaccination is strongly associated with a serious adverse safety signal of myocarditis, particularly in children and young adults resulting in hospitalization and death. Further investigation into the underlying mechanisms of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis is imperative to create effective mitigation strategies and ensure the safety of COVID-19 vaccination programs across populations.”
Myocarditis and Vaccine-induced Myocarditis
Prior to the pandemic, four per million children were affected annually in the U.S., and it has been reported that 0.05% of all pediatric hospitalizations are attributed to myocarditis. This condition, more frequently identified in young males, has historical associations with various vaccines, including influenza and smallpox.
Myocarditis can present with symptoms such as chest pain, heart failure, or sudden death, posing a significant risk - especially among the young - making it the third leading cause of sudden cardiac death in children and young adults. In VAERS, myocarditis qualifies as a Serious Adverse Event (SAE).
The authors acknowledged that there were cases of myocarditis from SARS-CoV-2 infection before the rollout of vaccines. During severe COVID-19 illness, studies noted heart issues using certain codes. However, many reports didn't thoroughly check symptoms or use detailed diagnostic procedures like ECG or MRI: meaning that important diagnostic details associated with heart problems in COVID-19 might be missed in these studies.
Regarding COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis, the authors wrote: “The prevalence of myocarditis reports in the VAERS system was significantly higher in the context of dose 2, males, and individuals under 30 years of age…Dose 2 was generally administered 3 weeks following the first dose – assuming the individual survives dose 1 without any major complications, including death. Figure 4 reveals five times more reports of myocarditis for dose 2 in 15-year-old males and regardless of age, myocarditis cases were more frequent following dose 2.”
The observation suggests a dose-response relationship, indicating potential cumulative and more damaging effects with each additional dose. “In such cases, it is possible that myocarditis was subclinical after dose 1 and became symptomatic after dose 2. We found 70% of all reports of myocarditis were filed within 7 days and 43% were made within 48 hours. Following dose 2, 77% of reports were filed within 7 days and 48% within 48 hours, thus providing more evidence of clinical concern and a temporal relationship with the injections.”
If signs of myocarditis are present after the first dose, the vaccinations should end there, and clinical monitoring should begin. “Because the duration of action of genetic material coding for spike protein is unknown, long-term follow-up with cardiology consultation may be advised in cases with possible repeat imaging and biomarkers.”
Why the Young and Athletic Might Be at Risk
Based on numerous autopsy studies involving suspected vaccine-induced myocarditis deaths, a theory has been formed that may explain why young males and athletes are particularly vulnerable.
Worldwide expert in both Endocrinology and Sports Medicine fields, Dr. Flavio A. Cadegiani, holds a unique endocrinological perspective to Physical Activity. In his Op-ed published by TrialSite News, Cadegiani examined multiple studies that provided evidence for a converging cause: that catecholamines, mostly represented by noradrenaline and adrenaline, are the “key triggers” of myocarditis and sudden deaths caused by COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
This is more simply explained as an adrenaline surge feedback loop. With young males and athletes having the highest amount of catecholamines in their system, it’s likely the reason why this group experiences an overload after vaccination. This theory corroborates with the determination of Connecticut’s Medical Examiner who published a case-study on his autopsies of two teen boys who died in their sleep within days of COVID-19 vaccination.
Estimating the Bigger Picture
The article shared some disheartening information regarding “the spontaneous reporting nature of VAERS,” implying that the reported cases are likely not rare, but rather represent a fraction of the total occurrences. Acknowledging the significant under-reporting issue with VAERS, the study cautions against using it alone to estimate population incidence. With 3,078 reported myocarditis cases by August 11, 2023, and considering an under-reporting factor of 31, the study estimates the actual number of myocarditis cases in the United States to be around 95,418. If considering the under-reporting factor for the Foreign VAERS data-inclusive, this estimate becomes 564,696 since 83% of myocarditis reports are found in the Foreign VAERS data set.

AstraZeneca is facing tens of millions of pounds in compensation claims from 35 alleged victims of the Covid jab in High Court legal battle
The pharmaceutical giant, which developed its jab in partnership with the University of Oxford, is set to face a High Court battle over claims the vaccine is 'defective'.
It has been linked to a newly identified condition called Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombocytopenia and Thrombosis (VITT) which causes blood clots.
At least 81 people have died due to complications linked to the very rare side effect while hundreds of others have also suffered illness as a result.
In what may be one of the biggest cases of its kind, more cases are expected to be lodged, meaning the vaccine manufacturer could face up to £80million in compensation payouts if it loses, according to The Telegraph.
The government indemnified AstraZeneca and other vaccine manufacturers as it sought to roll out vaccines during the pandemic.
Under Vaccine Damage Payment scheme, victims of certain vaccines, including ones used to beat Covid, are entitled to a one-off 'all-or-nothing' sum of £120,000 from the Government.
Tory MP Sir Jeremy Wright, whose constituent Jamie Scott suffered a 'significant permanent brain injury' from a blood clot after getting the job in 2021, has urged the government to take action.
The former Attorney General said: 'The public need the confidence to know they will be looked after if in the tiny, tiny minority of cases where the vaccine has gone wrong.
'And that confidence is damaged if the Government does not step in and settle these cases.'
The claimants are suing under the Consumer Protection Act, suggesting that the vaccine was not as safe as those who received it were led to believe.
AstraZeneca is fighting the claims, calling them 'confused' and 'wrong in law'.
The company has also pointed to the millions of lives the vaccine is believed to have saved in its first year of rollout.
The AstraZeneca vaccine is not being used as part of the UK's booster programme after experts recommended mRNA vaccines – such as the Pfizer or Moderna jabs – should be used instead.
Vaccine complications have been listed on the death certificates of a number of people who were administered the AstraZeneca jab.
Dr Stephen Wright, 32, died from a blood clot to the brain ten days after having his first dose of the AstraZeneca jab in January 2021.
In April last year, a coroner ruled the vaccine should be added to Dr Wright's death certificate.
In another case, a rock musician known as Lord Zion suffered a severe headache and was admitted to hospital eight days after receiving the jab.
His condition worsened and he passed away in hospital on May 19, with the preliminary death certificate listing a brain bleed caused by vaccine complications as the cause.
His partner Vikki said she is still 'pro-vaccine' following his death, but called on the Government to better educate medical staff on the side effects and rework the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme.
