Researchers reviewed autopsies done on people who died after vaccination.
Twenty-eight deaths with cardiovascular involvement outlined in medical literature were likely caused by COVID-19 vaccination, according to a new study.
Dr. Peter McCullough, a cardiologist, along with co-authors, reviewed all published autopsy reports featuring myocarditis, or heart inflammation, following COVID-19 vaccination.
After excluding some papers for not meeting prespecified criteria, the group determined that of the remaining 28 patients all likely died from vaccine-induced myocarditis.
The determination came after the doctors performed an independent review of each case.
The available evidence “suggests that there is a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death from myocarditis,” the authors wrote in the paper.
The deaths occurred in China, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and the United States. They included some sudden deaths.
“The current position statements disseminated from medical institutions and government agencies indicate that COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis is mild and transient,” Nicolas Hulscher, a graduate student at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and one of the co-authors, told The Epoch Times in an email. “However, our study indicates that this is most likely not the case.
“We must further investigate the underlying determinants of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis for the purposes of risk stratification and mitigation in order to reduce the population occurrence of this fatal iatrogenic syndrome.”
The paper was published by ESC Heart Failure on Jan. 14.
Autopsies
Many of the deaths were reported in 2023, including five by German researchers.
The researchers outlined autopsy findings from people who died unexpectedly at home within 20 days of receiving a COVID-19 shot and determined that for five people, the vaccination was the likely cause of heart inflammation, which in turn caused the deaths.
The researchers went through each of the other possible causes and ruled them out, Dr. Andrew Bostom, a heart expert based in Rhode Island who reviewed the paper, told The Epoch Times previously.
“Then, they came up with the most plausible proximate cause being vaccination,” he said.
