Citing the available scientific evidence, renowned cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough believes the best explanation for the “sudden and unexpected” cardiac events and deaths in otherwise healthy people is the COVID-19 vaccines.
In a video interview with WND in which he talked about the threat to his medical credentials for allegedly purveying “misinformation,” McCullough pointed out that in the past, long before the COVID vaccines, athletes who died sudden typically were diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, an abnormal thickening of the heart, or premature heart blockage.
Now, athletes are thoroughly screened to rule out those conditions.
McCullough noted that peer-reviewed literature shows the vaccines cause myocarditis. He cited a U.K. study that found about 100 fatal cases of myocarditis linked to the vaccine. And he referenced a case report published in August in the journal Archives of Pathology that found a connection between a second dose of the Pfizer vaccine and myocarditis in two adolescents. A case report by South Korean researchers presented the autopsy findings of a 22-year-old man who developed chest pain five days after the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine and died seven hours later.
“When someone dies and the family doesn’t come out and say anything, or doctors don’t come out and say anything, it’s a reasonable assumption that it was the vaccine, until proven otherwise,” McCullough told WND.
He said that as a cardiologist and scientist, he doesn’t want to scare the public.
“But I think this is more of a public warning,” he said. “We’re seeing a strong signal for sudden death that’s almost certainly due to subclinical or clinical myocarditis.”
