Teens up to 21 TIMES more likely to suffer heart inflammation from COVID-19 than from vaccination

Young people are more likely to suffer heart inflammation from COVID-19 infection than they are from the vaccines, a new study finds.

Researchers from Case Western Reserve University, in Cleveland, Ohio, analyzed data from COVID-19 patients and vaccine recipients aged 12 to 17.They found heart inflammation, also known as myocarditis, after contracting the virus was six times more likely than after receiving the vaccine among teen boys, and 21 times higher among girls.

In June 2021, an advisory group for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention C(DC) said there is a 'likely link' between rare cases of heart inflammation in adolescents and young adults and the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.

Fears over myocarditis effecting young teens - primarily males - who received either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines arose in June, when the CDC reported it as a potential side-effect.

The agency reported that some were developing the condition after receiving their second dose of the vaccine, though still recommended that teens get the vaccine when available.

More than 1,000 cases of health inflammation related to the vaccine were reported.

The inflammation may make the heart unable to pump blood properly, it can cause heart failure and sudden death in some cases.
