This article is about a meta-analysis that compares the incidence of arrhythmias in persons who received the COVID shots and those who received other vaccines.
Arrythmias are any irregularity in the heartbeat. They can be fast or slow, benign or deadly.
The authors searched the MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases reporting the incidence of arrhythmia (the primary endpoint) after vaccination from January 1, 1947, to October 28, 2022.
Results
The incidence of arrhythmia from 36 studies (1,528,459,662 vaccine doses) was 291.8 (95% CI 111.6-762.7) cases per million doses.
The incidence of arrhythmia was significantly higher after COVID-19 vaccination (2263.4 [875.4-5839.2] cases per million doses; 830,585,553 doses, 23 studies) than after non-COVID-19 vaccination (9.9 [1.3-75.5] cases per million doses; 697,874,109 doses, 14 studies; P<0.01).
Compared with COVID-19 vaccines, influenza, pertussis, human papillomavirus, and acellular pertussis vaccines were associated with a significantly lower incidence of arrhythmia.
The incidence of tachyarrhythmia was significantly higher after COVID-19 vaccination (4367.5 [1535.2-12,360.8] cases per million doses; 1,208,656 doses, 15 studies) than after non-COVID-19 vaccination (25.8 [4.5-149.4] cases per million doses; 179,822,553 doses, 11 studies; P<0.01).
Arrhythmia was also more frequent after the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (19,064.3 [5775.5-61,051.2] cases per million doses; 7968 doses, three studies) than after the first dose (3450.9 [988.2-11,977.6] cases per million doses; 41,714,762 doses, 12 studies; P=0.05) or second dose (2262.5 [2205.9-2320.7] cases per million doses; 34,540,749 doses, ten studies; P<0.01).
All-cause mortality was comparable between the COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 vaccination groups.
In their conclusion, the authors said that the overall risk for arrhythmia after COVID-19 vaccination was relatively low, although it was higher in COVID-19 vaccine recipients than in non-COVID-19 vaccine recipients.
Under-reported
But bear in mind that the authors only looked at published case reports. We can argue that their data is under-reported for several reasons.
- Many cases of arrhythmias may have “suddenly died” outside the hospital and remained undiagnosed.
- Some physicians who took care of arrhythmias may not see the link between the cardiac condition and the COVID shots.
- For those medical providers who saw the connection, the majority may not have published a report. That’s because writing a case report is time-consuming, and there are no monetary incentives.
When I searched the CDC Wonder for arrhythmias reported as an adverse event for all doses, all ages of the COVID jabs, from inside and outside the US, there were 15,450 reported cases of arrythmias. Remember that the VAERS database is underreported by a factor of 100, according to the Lazarus report.
That means there are probably 1.5 million arrhythmias from the experimental gene therapy COVID injections.
The study is a pre-print and has not been peer-reviewed. The authors are from the US, UK, and China.
