COVID jabs increased Risk of Myocarditis Deaths for ALL Ages

A new study showed an increased risk of myocarditis death from COVID shots for all ages.

This research from Japan by Watanabe and Hama is the first epidemiological study showing the higher risk of myocarditis death after the SARS-CoV-2 shots in the young, middle-aged (40s), and elderly.

Previous studies have reported the increased risk of “mild” myocarditis in young people, especially males but not myocarditis death.

The authors used publicly available myocarditis mortality data in Japan during the period of COVID injections and compared them with the number of myocarditis cases three years before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method

The study compared the observed and the expected number of myocarditis deaths.

The observed myocarditis deaths are those who died within 28 days after the last COVID injections from February 17, 2021, until 14 February 2022.

The expected myocarditis deaths were calculated from the total number of myocarditis deaths from 2017 to 2019. This is also called the reference group.

The diagnoses of myocarditis are based on autopsy or myocardial biopsy (half of the cases), elevated troponin and other blood tests, ECG, cardiac ultrasound, and symptoms.

The vaccinee population of this study is about 100 million.

Results

The total number of deaths in the COVID vaccinated group is 1,362, including 38 myocarditis deaths.

Persons who died from myocarditis after COVID shots were younger, tended to be male, had the Pfizer jab, and occurred more after the second dose.

Standardized Mortality

The deaths between the observed and the expected group were standardized for comparison.

The Standardized Mortality Ratio for myocarditis among all the vaccinated was 2.01. All COVID vaccinated are twice more likely to die of myocarditis. For those 60 years and older, it is 1.65 or 65% more likely.

The list of Standardized Mortality is in the figure below. (Note: in the study, the authors referred to Standardized Mortality Ratio and Myocarditis Mortality Rate Ratio as the same in Table 4)

Myocarditis Mortality Rate Ratio

The Myocarditis Mortality Rate Ratio (MMRR) is the ratio of myocarditis deaths in the vaccinated (observed) and the reference unvaccinated group (expected).

MMRR is obtained by dividing the Observed by the Expected myocarditis deaths. There were no deaths found in the below 20 and the 50-year-olds.

The list below shows the MMRR or higher risk of myocarditis after COVID injections by 10-year age groups.

20 – 29 years old – 4.03 MMRR – 403% higher risk of dying from myocarditis
30 – 39 – 6.69 MMRR – 669% higher risk of dying from myocarditis
40 – 49 – 3.89 MMRR – 389% higher risk of dying from myocarditis
50 – 59 – 0
60 – 69 – 1.16 MMRR – 16% higher risk of dying from myocarditis
70 – 79 – 1.72 MMRR – 72% higher risk of dying from myocarditis
80 – 89 2.07 MMRR – 207% higher risk of dying from myocarditis
≥90 – 1.79 MMRR
All have a statistically significant 95% confidence interval.

The figure below shows the Standardized Mortality Ratio and Myocarditis Mortality Rate Ratio.

However, the study does not stop there. The myocarditis deaths may be higher due to the “healthy vaccinee” effect.

Healthy Vaccinee Effect

“Healthy vaccinee effect or bias” refers to a situation when patients in better health conditions are more likely to have a vaccination. People who are not feeling good (those with fever) tend not to get vaccinated because it is a contraindication.

If not corrected, the healthy vaccinee effect leads to an overestimation of vaccine effectiveness or an underestimation of vaccine adverse reactions.[2]

Previous work by the Med Check editorial team on COVID vaccine adverse reaction data from the UK and Israel [2] and [3] showed that the Myocarditis Mortality Rate Ratio and the Standardized Mortality Ratio are four times higher if the healthy vaccinee effect is considered.

The healthy vaccinee effect by SARS-CoV-2 vaccination expressed as the rate ratio of mortality rate in vaccinated to that in the reference general population was shown approximately as 0.10 to 0.24.

According to the authors, if the healthy vaccinee effect is considered, the risk of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine on myocarditis death may be much higher, with a rate ratio of up to 28 to 64 in the 30-year-olds. Note that the MMRR range in the 30-year-olds is 2.24 -16.71

Myocarditis Mortality Rate Ratio adjusted for Healthy Vaccinee Effect

20 – 29 years old – 17-39 MMRR – 1,700-3,900% higher risk of dying from myocarditis
30 – 39 – 28-64 MMRR – 2,800-6,400% higher risk of dying from myocarditis
40 – 49 – 16-37 MMRR – 1,600-3,700% higher risk of dying from myocarditis
50 – 59 – 0
60 – 69 – 5-11 MMRR – 500-1,100% higher risk of dying from myocarditis
≥ 70 >7 MMRR – 700% higher risk of dying from myocarditis
Overall COVID vaccinated population – 9-19 MMRR – 900-1,900 higher risk of dying from myocarditis.

The findings in this agreement are consistent with a prospective study on myocarditis in Thai teenagers. I discussed that in Thai study shows a whopping 1,660 myocarditis cases per 100K COVID injections.

When I released that article on Twitter, the bots came out of the woodwork.

If you want to know more about the Healthy Vaccinee Effect, read this article by Rokuro Hama, MD, as he makes several comments about SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and myocarditis at this link. It is published in the British Medical Journal.

In an article by Newstarget, the military whistle-blower said, “Back in August 2021, it was shown in the codes that myocarditis diagnoses were up 2,800 percent.”

Where are the deaths recorded?

You may ask if the myocarditis deaths are so high, Why are they not reported? Many of these deaths are undiagnosed. The diagnosis given by the press is “suddenly died.”

The diagnosis of myocarditis entails autopsy or biopsies. Many die quietly, and if they have a history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, or diabetes that may explain the death, the medical examiner will not require an autopsy. That is the policy in New York State, where I worked as an emergency room physician.

The deaths are part of the statistics under excess deaths.

One clue for the young without comorbidities will be the number of autopsies. Autopsies are required if someone dies and there is no logical explanation for the cause of death, like trauma or comorbidities. That is the reason why I wrote this article. US data: High numbers of autopsies done in 2021 among 15-64 years old.

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle. Inflammation in the SinoAtrial (SA) node and AtrioVentricular Node (AV) where electrical conduction originates is enough to bring about a malignant cardiac arrhythmia and a complete heart block.

And sometimes, it can be severe myocarditis.
