Covid poses higher risk of myocarditis than vaccine in male teens – US study

Chances of developing the heart condition six times greater after infection compared with rare side-effect of Pfizer/BioNTech jab

 What It Feels Like to Be an ‘Adverse Event’ Is my heart problem because of the vaccine? Am I crazy for thinking that?

In recent months, a very small number of documented instances have emerged of patients — generally men under 30 — developing symptoms of myocarditis within 12 to 96 hours of receiving the second Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines. (It should be noted that just because an adverse event occurs near the time of vaccination does not mean that it was caused by the vaccine.)

C.D.C. Is Investigating a Heart Problem in a Few Young Vaccine Recipients

The agency is reviewing several dozen reports that teenagers and young adults may have developed myocarditis after vaccination, officials said. But the agency has not determined whether the vaccine caused the condition.

Heart reaction probed as possible rare Covid-19 vaccine link in teens

Health authorities are trying to determine whether heart inflammation that can occur along with many types of infections could also be a rare side effect in teens and young adults after the second dose of Covid-19 vaccine.

Here’s what we know about the risks of serious side effects from COVID-19 vaccines

Risks of rare allergic reactions, blood clots and maybe heart problems don’t outweigh benefits.

Is the COVID-19 vaccine causing rare myocarditis cases?

And even if there is a link, it's important to note that the vast majority of myocarditis cases seen after vaccination have so far been mild and responded well to anti-inflammatory medications, such as steroids.

Israel reports link between rare cases of heart inflammation and COVID-19 vaccination in young men

The COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech appears to put young men at elevated risk of developing a heart muscle inflammation called myocarditis, researchers in Israel say.

Myocarditis, COVID-19, and mRNA Vaccines: Is There a Connection?

Cases of heart inflammation reported post-COVID vaccination are usually mild and get better quickly, experts say.

U.S. health officials report higher-than-expected heart inflammation cases following Covid-19 vaccination

Federal health officials said Thursday they’re seeing rare but higher-than-expected cases of a heart issue called myocarditis among adolescents and young adults who received their second shot of one of the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines. The data are preliminary and limited, and experts are still trying to determine if there is indeed a link or if there is no connection at all.
