World Health Organization (OMS) admitted today that there have been cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) in people who had just received mRNA vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna) against covid-19but stressed that these are very infrequent situations and generally of a mild nature.
Given the reappearance of reports and news about the relationship between vaccines and coronary problems, especially in the United States, the director of the WHO Department of Immunization, Kate O’Brien, assured today at a press conference that “There is no evidence of a relationship between vaccination and heart attacks”.

“The risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis had been identified before, but they are very rare cases, which when they occur are usually mild inflammations, which respond well to treatment and disappear within a few days, being less severe than other types of myocarditis,” assured.
“Our recommendation remains that the benefits of vaccination against covid-19 outweigh the potential risks,” added O’Brien, who also warned that covid-19 itself can cause heart problems in the body, including coronary attacks and strokes.
