VACCINE Covid-19 mRNA has been reported to significantly increase a person’s risk of heart attack, particularly in men aged 18 to 39.
Florida surgeon general, Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo said referring to the results of a study he conducted with his team, the mRNA vaccine showed an increased risk of cardiac death in men aged 18 to 39.
The study was conducted by the Florida Department of Health through a series of self-controlled cases, for which the technique was originally developed to evaluate the safety of the vaccine. From this study, it was further stated that there was an approximately 84% increase in cardiac deaths in men aged 18 to 39 in 28 days after receiving Covid-19 vaccine jenis mRNA, mengtip Livemint.
Therefore, experts recommend that people with a history of heart problems should consult a cardiologist before being vaccinated. Mentioned in the study above, people who already have heart problems, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should be very careful when considering vaccination and discuss it with their doctor first.
“This is an important discovery that needs to be passed on. Studying the safety and efficacy of any drug, including vaccines, is an important component of public health,” said Dr. Joseph.
Responding to the above study findings, Australian epidemiologist from Griffith University, Dicky Budiman explained, while there is indeed a risk of heart problems due to the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine, the number of cases is not as high as the Covid attack- 19 infection.

“The incidence of myocarditis in people infected with Covid-19 is at least 100 times higher than in people who receive the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine,” said Dr. Dicky is short.
He provided an example of his personal experience, as someone who has received five doses of the Covid-19 mRNA-type vaccine and has not had severe AEFI to date.
According to him, more research is needed to make the study data more complete because he evaluates that there are weaknesses in the assessment of the problem.
It is not known for certain whether the people who suffer from heart problems after receiving these injections of the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine are people who have already had a risk of heart problems before or not. This happened because the study data collected at the time of testing for Covid-19 was not that good.
“So, the data that was collected is true or not, whether a person has myocarditis is the effect of the mRNA vaccine or not. Because there may be results of myocarditis in someone after vaccination, but in reality that person has been previously infected with Covid-19, “Dicky said.
