COVID Vaccine Brings Higher Heart Risk, Little Benefit to Young Men, Medical Expert Warns

A Johns Hopkins School of Medicine professor claimed young men face elevated heart inflammation risk after getting COVID-19 vaccinations.

Doctor Marty Makary, who is also an oncology surgeon at the school’s affiliated hospital, made his remarks Friday on the “Morning Wire” podcast. The doctor opined that the coronavirus poses little risk to young men.

The doctor referred to a recent Cedars Sinai study that found a 30 percent increase in heart attack deaths among adults between 25 and 44 during the first two years of the COVID pandemic. One theory attributes the increased mortality to COVID itself, while another blames the vaccine. Makary claims there is evidence to support belief that COVID vaccinations were responsible for the increase in heart attack deaths.

“We did not see the uptake before the vaccine was rolled out, but, young people were primarily affected around that same time as well,” he said. “The state of Florida did their own study, looking at heart attacks after the vaccine in particular, and found that there was an 81 percent increase in sudden death from heart attacks in the months following the vaccine compared to baseline rates.”

“So, many people do believe that the vaccine is one of the causes of heart problems in young people.”

Makary stated that myocarditis appears most to occur most often after additional doses of the vaccine. He noted that parts of Europe discouraged giving the second dose to young, healthy people.

The U.S. government and pharmaceutical industry initially downplayed or even denied the link but the vaccine has increasingly been linked to myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart, he added.

The doctor noted data demonstrates young males are 28 times more likely to suffer myocarditis after getting a COVID-19 vaccine than from contracting COVID, according to the Daily Wire report.

Data suggests it may be problematic for young, healthy adults, especial males, to get vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the Johns Hopkins surgeon. Young males between 16 and 30 are about nine times more likely to suffer myocarditis as a side effect of a COVID-19 vaccination than similarly aged females, he said.
