The COVID-19 vaccine does not cause sudden cardiac arrest in young people, according to new research that dispels a persistent and unsubstantiated claim from anti-vaccination activists.
Researchers from the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute examined more than 2000 instances of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in Victoria before and during the pandemic, and found no change in the median monthly rate of cardiac arrest among those aged under 50.
No variation was seen in the median monthly rates of cardiac arrest – it ranged from 61 to 63 deaths per month – or myocarditis, where there were just 13 cases over the three-year study period. Paratz also examined the deaths of 38 people who suffered cardiac arrest within 30 days of their COVID vaccination. No differences were observed in the underlying causes of their deaths when compared with age-matched data, and no one in this group had myocarditis.Professor Jason Kovacic, the executive director of the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in Sydney, said the research convincingly showed there was no increase in sudden cardiac death linked to the COVID vaccine.

Reminder of our ‘overreach’: Tragic story of mother denied a medical check during COVIDA tragic story about a young mother battling aggressive cancer is a reminder of Australia’s national COVID overreach, according to Sky News host Chris Kenny. Kellie Finlayson is 27 years old, has life-threatening stage four cancer and due to the COVID pandemic, had her colonoscopy cancelled before she could be diagnosed after she noticed symptoms. “People like Kellie Finlayson were being denied medical checks and treatments that could have saved enormous trauma and saved lives,” Mr Kenny said. “Kellie's story, sad and traumatic as it is, in its own right, is just more clear evidence of why this country must have a national royal commission into our COVID response because if we do not learn from this overreaction, we are bound to repeat the same mistakes.”
