British study reports that myocarditis in men under 40 years old after receiving the COVID vaccine is worse than previously thought. The risk for serious complications increases after each vaccination.

“The risk of serious heart problems called myocarditis in men under 40 soars with each dose of a Covid mRNA vaccine — and is sharply higher than the risk from a coronavirus infection itself,” Berenson wrote in his summary:

The findings call into sharp question the efforts by American colleges and universities to make their students receive booster shots before returning to school this January — especially since other studies have shown that the risk of post-vaccine myocarditis is concentrated not merely in men under 40 but in those aged 16-25.

The study, which British researchers released in late December, showed that the risk of myocarditis almost doubled after the first Pfizer shot in men under 40. Then it doubled again after the second and doubled again after the third — to almost eight times the baseline risk.

But that isn’t the only bad news from the study.

The risk of problems after a second dose of the Moderna vaccine is alarming, Berenson reported. A second jab of Moderna increases the risk of problems 16-fold.

And “because each Moderna shot contains 100 micrograms of mRNA, while each Pfizer shot contains 30, the findings suggest strongly that the heart risks are dose-related and likely to continue to rise with each additional shot.”

The findings comport with viral videos of young athletes clutching their chests and dropping to the ground.
