(Joshua Paladino, Headline USA) German researchers studied patients who died suddenly after taking the mRNA COVID-19 shot and established that “myocarditis can be a potentially lethal complication.”
In the study, scientists examined 35 people who died within 20 days of receiving a COVID-19 shot at the University of Heidelberg. Ten had severe pre-existing conditions and were removed from further study, Hot Air reported.
Five of the deceased individuals had “acute myocarditis without detection of another significant disease or health constellation that may have caused an unexpected death.”
In every case studied, the person “lacked significant coronary heart disease, acute or chronic manifestations of ischaemic heart disease, manifestations of cardiomyopathy or other signs of a pre-existing, clinically relevant heart disease.”
Unlike previous studies that have relied on statistical analysis or accounts in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, the results in this study come from autopsies that studied heart tissue under a microscope to look for deterioration in its structure.
Dr. Marty Makary, a Johns-Hopkins Professor, posted about the results on Twitter with the comment that it is “very hard to conduct this research in the U.S.”
New Study: “cardiac autopsy findings in five persons who have died unexpectedly within seven days following anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination… Our findings establish the histological phenotype of lethal vaccination-associated myocarditis.” https://t.co/L4ciyWbgec

The researchers published the paper, titled “Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination,” in the scientific journal Clinical Research in Cardiology.
They could not immediately identify the reason that COVID-19 shots cause myocarditis. And the scientists refused to comment on whether risks from the COVID-19 injections outweighed the risk of contracting the illness.
“The nature of our autopsy study necessitates that the data are descriptive in quality and does not allow any epidemiological conclusions in terms of incidence or risk estimation,” they wrote.
Germany does not recommend that people under 30 years old receive the Moderna vaccine because myocarditis and other side effects outweigh the risk of infection.
