Covid is FOUR TIMES more likely to cause heart inflammation than the Pfizer vaccine, study finds

Daily Mail  

Adults are at a greater risk of developing inflammation of the heart after catching Covid than from a vaccine, research suggests. Researchers in Israel spotted 2.7 extra cases of myocarditis per 100,000 people who were injected with the Pfizer vaccine, but this shot up to 11 additional cases for every 100,000 individuals who caught the virus The graph shows the number of extra cases of each adverse effect per 100,000 people after a Pfizer injection and a Covid infection The Covid vaccines went through extensive safety tests before being rolled out to the public, but because trials involve small groups, they often fail to detect extremely rare side effects. They spotted around three extra cases of myocarditis per 100,000 people 42 days after they received a second dose of Pfizer. Meanwhile, there was 11 more cases of pericarditis per 100,000 people after a Covid infection, while there was just one extra case per 100,000 people after the Pfizer jab. Adverse effects linked with the Pfizer jab include 78 more cases than expected of swollen lymph nodes per 100,000 people, which is a common side effect from vaccines.
