Myocarditis is seven times more likely with COVID-19 than vaccines
Penn State has published a large metastudy of myocarditis in Covid sufferers vs. those that never had it, stratified by vaccinated and unvaccinated (where I am using the term vaccine instead of the proper “genetic injection”).
Here is the headline finding:
Based on all the findings, the researchers concluded that the risk of myocarditis due to COVID-19 was seven times higher than the risk related to the vaccines.
However, the detailed results are as follows:
The Penn State team conducted the largest study to date on the risk of developing myocarditis as a result of having the coronavirus vs. experiencing inflammation following COVID-19 vaccination. The researchers compared patients with COVID-19 — vaccinated and unvaccinated — to those without the virus. They found the risk of myocarditis was 15 times higher in COVID-19 patients, regardless of vaccination status, compared to individuals who did not contract the virus.
Next, the researchers separately compared the rates of myocarditis in those who received the vaccines to those in unvaccinated individuals. According to the findings, the rates of myocarditis in people who were vaccinated against COVID-19 were only twofold higher than in unvaccinated people.
Based on all the findings, the researchers concluded that the risk of myocarditis due to COVID-19 was seven times higher than the risk related to the vaccines [emphasis added].
So the conclusions are that
Covid poses far more risk than vaccination for myocarditis;
Vaccinated persons faced a 2X greater risk for myocarditis than unvaccinated persons;
The risk of myocarditis from Covid is 7X the risk from vaccines.
The greater risk of myocarditis among the vaccinated is because they have more spike protein circulating in their systems, presumably. However, the authors conclude:
“COVID-19 infection and the related vaccines both pose a risk for myocarditis. However, the relative risk of heart inflammation induced by COVID-19 infection is substantially greater than the risk posed by the vaccines,” said Dr. Paddy Ssentongo, a resident physician in the Department of Medicine at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the lead author of the study. “We hope our findings will help mitigate vaccine hesitancy and increase vaccine uptake.” [emphasis added]
