Do vaccines cause more cardiac problems than reported?

This paramedic had no evidence that the patients with strokes and heart attacks he transported to the hospital were caused by mRNA vaccines. He has probably sought out information that would confirm his own biases against the vaccines. Instead, we need to look at what the evidence tell us.

COVID itself can to contribute to strokes and heart attacks. However, studies show the opposite for vaccines, including this latest study that shows that staying current with COVID-19 vaccines cuts the risk of strokes, blood clots, and heart attacks in half in people over 65 and those with certain health conditions. The study involved over 12.7 million older adults and about 78,600 people with severe kidney disease. It found that the bivalent booster is about 47% effective in preventing heart-related issues in the older group, and 51% effective in the kidney disease group.

Some people may get myocarditis risk and blood clot risk confused and jump to these conclusions. The mRNA vaccines do carry a small risk of myocarditis in young men and adolescent boys, but it often resolves on its own relatively quickly. Anti-vaccine activists have used prior concerns about a particular type of blood clot associated with adenovirus vector vaccines. mRNA vaccines have a minimal risk of blood clots. These facts contradict rather than confirm the paramedic’s bias.
