Scientists call for more research into Covid vaccine side effects after unexplained spike in heart conditions

Canadian experts are calling for more research into heart damage linked to Covid vaccines.

They fear the scale of the issue remains ‘under-documented’ because they say studies have been too narrow and haven’t looked at the risk of these injuries months and years after receiving the shot.

In rare cases, mRNA shots have been shown to cause myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, inflammation of the sac-like lining surrounding the heart.

The side effect is rare but exactly how rare is still being debated. A major 2021 study in Israel put the rate at one in 50,000. Other studies have come to vastly different estimates.

But researchers from British Columbia warn those studies have been inconsistent in how they classify ‘postvaccine’ myocarditis and pericarditis, using different timeframes to define if the conditions were directly linked to the shots.

They are calling for further research, noting that rates of the heat conditions globally have increased nearly 40 percent since the vaccines were rolled out in 2021 which needed to be explored for public health reasons.

But they also concede Covid itself has been shown to cause heart damage, which confuses the issue even more.

They wrote in the medical journal JAMA today: ‘Future studies on myocarditis and pericarditis related to COVID-19 vaccination should adopt broader diagnostic criteria, include both conditions as key outcomes, and explore the combined effects of infection and vaccination on cardiovascular health.’
