OSHA Admits It Told Healthcare Employers Not to Report COVID Vaccine Injuries

The largest-ever study, involving nearly 14 million children, has found that the risk of serious – but very rare – side effects involving the heart and blood vessels was much higher after infection than vaccination.

For instance, among children aged between 5 and 18, there were more than 17 extra cases per 100,000 of inflammatory conditions such as Kawasaki disease in the six months after first getting infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, compared with the expected baseline. Among those who got the Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA vaccine for the first time, there were nearly 2 fewer cases per 100,000 compared with the baseline.

With inflammation of the heart muscles, known as myocarditis, there were more than 2 extra cases per 100,000 in the six months after an infection. Among the vaccinated, there was less than 1 extra case (The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health, doi.org/g989rm). In other words, the risk of myocarditis was more than twice as high after infection than after vaccination.
Reports of covid-19 infections causing myocarditis were published as early as April 2020. This rare side effect got a lot of media attention – and was one of the reasons why the UK didn’t routinely vaccinate young children until April 2022.

The latest findings confirm earlier studies suggesting children who were vaccinated had a lower risk of myocarditis than those who were unvaccinated. That’s because most children got infected by the virus, and so were exposed to the higher risk from infection.

Wow. FLAWED. (At least the summary). Vaccinated and infected are OVERLAPPING. You can get infected after being vaccinated.
How many infected children were assigned to the non infected group as their case was asymptomatic?

I’d also surmise that vaccinated children were more likely to seek medical attention by their parents sooner than non vaccinated kids.

But overall, I am not saying that the disease was better than the vaccine. Just the ability to design a study of this type is just really difficult.

A study of more than a million people last year reported that those given the Zostavax shingles vaccine were 26 per cent less likely to die from heart disease or experience a stroke, heart attack or heart failure during an average of six years after the shot – a massive reduction in risk for such an easy intervention.

What’s more, people given a newer shingles vaccine called Shingrix were 17 per cent less likely to develop dementia in the next six years compared with those given Zostavax. Since several studies have shown that Zostavax also reduces the risk of dementia, the overall reduction in risk with Shingrix should be even larger.

Flu vaccines also have cardiovascular benefits. For instance, an analysis combining data from more than 9000 people involved in six trials found those vaccinated against flu had a 34 per cent lower risk of a heart attack or stroke in the next year. The benefit was even greater for people with a recent history of heart problems.

The new vaccines for respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, seem to help prevent heart problems, too. A study involving around 130,000 people over 60 found that those who had one kind of RSV vaccine were less likely to be hospitalised with heart or lung issues than those who went unvaccinated.

Then there are the covid-19 mRNA vaccines. They turn out to boost the immune response to tumours along with immunotherapy, extending peoples’ lives.
