Presentation Abstract
COVID-19 Vaccine Safety: Focus on Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis
The mRNA and adenoviral DNA vaccines have resulted in record numbers of vaccine injury reports and confirmed cases of both fatal and nonfatal syndromes. There are now >1000 peer reviewed and preprint papers describing COVID-19 vaccine injury syndromes. Most of these fall into one of four organ system categories: neurological, cardiovascular, immunologic, and hematologic. The US FDA has product warnings for Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines for myocarditis or heart inflammation and autopsy confirmed fatal cases have been published. The FDA and foreign regulators have warnings for neurological thrombosis and Guillain-Barre syndrome for the adenoviral vector vaccines (Janssen and AstraZeneca). There are no prospective studies concerning screening, diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment of COVID-19 vaccine injury syndromes. As more cases accumulate with booster programs, there is a great need for research and clinical care for those who have been negatively impacted from indiscriminate COVID-19 vaccination.
