It increased to 1.93 (95% CI, 1.51-2.45) after the second dose and was 1.89 (95% CI,1.34-2.67) after the third dose.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the researchers reported a high increased risk ratio of 3.06 (95% CI, 1.33-7.03) after the first dose of the Modern vaccine for men under 40. The risk rose to 16.83 (95% CI, 9.11-31.1) after a second dose. After a third dose, the increased risk ratio was 3.57 (95% CI, 1.48-8.64).<\/p>\n<p>Among men under 40 who received the AstraZeneca vaccine, the increased risk ratio for myocarditis after the first dose was 1.33 (95% CI, 1.03-1.72) and after the second dose was 1.26 (95% CI, 0.96-1.65).<\/p>\n<p>The team said their findings will enable \u201can informed discussion of the risk of vaccine associated myocarditis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While this study is important because it presents the largest published series of fatal myocarditis cases and linked them to both mRNA and adenovirus COVID-19 vaccines, McCullough said another of its conclusions is \u201cmisleading.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Researchers Misleadingly Claim High Myocarditis Risk From COVID Infection<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the study, Patone\u2019s team attempted to compare the risk of getting myocarditis due to vaccination to the risk of getting myocarditis due to a SARS infection and concluded a SARS-CoV-2 infection posed a higher risk of myocarditis compared with the risk associated with a COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>They concluded that, in general, the \u201crisk of hospitalization or death from myocarditis was higher after SARS-CoV-2 [COVID-19] infection than vaccination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCullough said that conclusion is false. \u201cIt\u2019s falsely worrying people that they could get myocarditis with a respiratory infection,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>McCullough added:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Patone paper is misleading because it\u2019s relying on ICD [International Classification of Diseases] codes of inpatients with COVID, who don\u2019t have adjudicated myocarditis like the outpatients do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ICD codes, he said, are the automated source of hospital data Patone\u2019s team used to determine if a person had experienced myocarditis.<\/p>\n<p>McCullough cited this reference in the study\u2019s methods section:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe primary outcome of interest was the first hospital admission caused by the myocarditis, or death recorded on the death certificate with the\u00a0<em>International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision<\/em>\u00a0code (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/suppl\/10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.059970\">Table S1<\/a>) related to myocarditis within the study period (December 1, 2020, to December 15, 2022). We used the earliest date of hospitalization or date of death as the event date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ICD codes are triggered by the measurement of cardiac troponin in the hospital, but the measurement of cardiac troponin alone may not be an indicator of actual myocarditis, according to McCullough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason the patients in the COVID group are hospitalized is due to COVID,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s no adjudication [proving they have an actual case of myocarditis]. There\u2019s no indication that a cardiac MRI was done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCullough continued:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow for the vaccine cases of myocarditis, the usual clinical practice is to have cardiac EKGs, troponins [testing],\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/heart-attack\/diagnosing-a-heart-attack\/echocardiogram-echo\">echos<\/a>, cardiac MRIs \u2014 so I guarantee you that the vaccine [cases in the study] are bonafide myocarditis cases, the COVID cases are not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Citing a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34042947\/\">2021 JAMA study<\/a>, McCullough explained how the notion that COVID-19 infection puts people at high risk of myocarditis is not supported by research.<\/p>\n<p>Since\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/chapter\/10.1007\/978-1-4615-2996-5_56\">research in the early 1990s<\/a>\u00a0showed it was possible for coronaviruses to lead to myocarditis, researchers were understandably concerned when SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19 infection) emerged in 2020 that it might cause myocarditis.<\/p>\n<p>So a team of 20 researchers conducted a study in 2021 of 1,597 athletes screened for myocarditis who had a COVID-19 infection. They\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34042947\/\">published their findings in JAMA<\/a>, showing COVID-19 infection had a negligible association with myocarditis with less than 3% of athletes experiencing myocarditis and no reports of hospitalizations or deaths due to myocarditis.<\/p>\n<p>The JAMA study authors said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this cohort study of 1597 US competitive athletes with CMR screening after COVID-19 infection, 37 athletes (2.3%) were diagnosed with clinical and subclinical myocarditis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we know from large studies of the [COVID-19] respiratory infection,\u201d McCullough said, \u201cthat the risk of myocarditis is negligible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, we know from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s (CDC) own data that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/safety\/myocarditis.html\">myocarditis is associated with COVID-19 vaccination<\/a>, he said. \u201cThe U.S. case count that the CDC is confirming as of September 2 is 8,812 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis,\u201d McCullough said.<\/p>\n<p>He added:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a massive number, and we know from papers by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TracyBethHoeg\">Tracy Hoeg<\/a>, M.D., Ph.D., that the majority of these cases of myocarditis require hospitalization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a cardiologist, I would say that no case of myocarditis is mild or transient or insignificant. All of this is of extreme significance since it scars the heart. One case of vaccine-induced myocarditis is too many.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/defender\/england-study-myocarditis-deaths-covid-vaccine\/\">This article was originally published by The Defender<\/a> \u2014 Children\u2019s Health Defense\u2019s News &#038; Views Website under Creative Commons license CC<\/em><br \/><em>BY-NC-ND 4.0.
