Major COVID vaccine study finds heart risks are rare — and the real threat is being unvaccinated

Study: Vaccination Reduces Risk of COVID-Related Heart Complications
The Facts
A study of people in the UK, Spain, and Estonia showed that COVID vaccinations could substantially decrease the risk of severe, virus-related heart problems, such as heart failure and blood clots for up to one year.
Researchers, who published their results in the journal Heart, examined the records of more than 20M people — half of whom were vaccinated — with the goal of studying the association between the vaccine and the risk of post-COVID cardiac and blood clot complications.
The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
This is just the latest of many studies showing that the benefits of life-saving COVID vaccinations far outweigh any side effects. There's always the risk that some individuals’ bodies will have adverse responses, but they're extremely rare and benign compared to the severity of the virus itself.
Establishment-critical narrative
These studies are often paid for by the pharmaceutical companies to assuage public concerns about vaccines. Meanwhile, the media refuses to tell the stories of the countless people who suffered heart complications — or worse — after being forced into taking the experimental shots. The jury is still out and this censorship continues today.
Nerd narrative
There's a 50% chance that the US FDA and CDC will recommend at least seven doses of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine to at least 15% of the US by Dec. 31, 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
