New Study Points to Possible Connection Between Pfizer's COVID Vaccine and Myocarditis among Children

"Researchers identified an elevated rate of myocarditis in the vaccinated in early 2021, and some countries have since paused or halted the administration of one or both of the mRNA shots to young people, especially young males," The Epoch Times reported. "The United States hasn't."

The research, which has not yet been peer reviewed, contains "results of safety monitoring" of the Pfizer vaccine in children ages 5-17 in the United States. Although observing 13 potential "health outcomes," only myocarditis and a similar condition called pericarditis met the "threshold for a statistical signal" in all three databases.

"The myocarditis/pericarditis signal is consistent with current evidence and is being further evaluated," the study states. Although the research does not prove causation of heart inflammation after receiving the vaccine, by meeting the threshold for a safety signal, the findings are grounds for further investigation into whether the Pfizer shot is a direct cause of myocarditis and pericarditis among children.

"Consistent with published literature, our near-real time monitoring identified a signal for only myocarditis/pericarditis following BNT162b2 [Pfizer] COVID-19 vaccination in children aged 12-17 years," the researchers wrote. "This method is intended for early detection of safety signals."

A signal was observed among this group only after the second and third doses of the vaccine. Most patients studied who had confirmed cases of myocarditis and pericarditis, including 27 whose medical records were obtained for the study, experienced side effects within a week of receiving the shot.

"Researchers identified an elevated rate of myocarditis in the vaccinated in early 2021, and some countries have since paused or halted the administration of one or both of the mRNA shots to young people, especially young males," The Epoch Times reported. "The United States hasn't."

The most recent guidance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding vaccines for children is an approval of the Moderna and Pfizer Bivalent shots, to be used as a "single booster dose in younger age groups."

"The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent is authorized for administration at least two months following completion of primary or booster vaccination in children down to five years of age," states an October 12 press release from the FDA... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
