(LifeSiteNews) – mRNA COVID-19 vaccines pose higher risks of potentially deadly heart inflammation for young men than the virus itself, according to a new study.
The pre-print study, published last month by British researchers, found that each dose of a COVID vaccine significantly heightens the risk of myocarditis for men under 40 years old. Myocarditis is a form of heart inflammation that can be life-threatening and that regulators have previously linked to the mRNA vaccines made by Moderna and Pfizer.
The researchers analyzed the outcomes of more than 42 million Brits aged 13 years or older who have received at least one COVID shot, including around 22 million people who took an mRNA jab. They did not look for other cardiac-related side effects, like pericarditis and blood clots, which are also associated with the COVID injections.
Heart inflammation risks for young men multiplied after every Pfizer or Moderna dose, according to the study. The myocarditis risk after an initial Pfizer vaccine doubled after a second shot and again after a third, to more than 7.6 times the baseline risk.
The risk after a second dose of Moderna was
