Comprehensive Korean study on mrna vaccine myocarditis (VRM) should raise serious concerns:

- COVID-19 VRM was confirmed in 480 cases (1.08 cases per 100 000 persons)
- VRM incidence was highest in males between the ages of 12 and 17 years (5.29 cases per 100 000 persons)
-… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The severe events reported here are occurring at a much greater rate than what’s been seen to date, especially in the US.. and this points to potential under reporting in the US mechanism for picking up vaccine adverse events..

The US uses VAERS, which is a passive reporting… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

VAERS may lead to underreporting OR over reporting ..

Korea set up a National reporting system for purposes of compensation that made it a legal obligation to report post vaccine adverse events. This makes under reporting less likely.

Korea also set up a causality assessment committee to review and confirm cases associated with vaccination to make “over-reporting” less likely

Perhaps the most interesting part of the study that should raise red flags around the world is the evaluation of
sudden cardiac death after vaccination.

Korea apparently does autopsies for all sudden death cases after vaccination and found 8 cases of sudden death post vaxx

Importantly .. “In eight SCD cases, VRM was not suspected as a clinical diagnosis or a cause of death before performing an autopsy.”

This is exactly the rare signal me/other cardiologists have been worried about missing .. that the Koreans found.

“All SCD cases attributable to COVID-19 VRM were aged under 45 years and received mRNA vaccines. Vaccine-related myocarditis was the only possible cause of death in all SCD cases.”
