Oxford University: Myocarditis and pericarditis only appear after COVID vaccination, not after infection | The Gateway expert

Researchers from the University of Oxford evaluated more than one million English children aged 5 to 11 years and adolescents aged 12 to 15 years for incidents of myocarditis and pericarditis associated with the COVID-19 infection and the COVID-19 vaccine.

According to the preprint, myocarditis and pericarditis only occur after vaccination and not after infection with COVID-19.

“Although rare, all cases of myocarditis and pericarditis during the study period occurred in vaccinated individuals,” the authors wrote.


The Epoch Times reports:

The study analyzed data from the National Health Service (NHS) OpenSAFELY-TPP database, which covers 40 percent of English primary care practices.

Vaccinated adolescents and children were matched with unvaccinated cohorts and followed for 20 weeks to compare positive COVID-19 tests, hospitalizations, COVID-19 intensive care, adverse events, and non-COVID hospitalizations.

The data from England showed that myocarditis and pericarditis only occur in vaccinated people. These results contradict data from other studies which showed a higher incidence of myocarditis after COVID-19 infection.

**********

With the exception of three cases of pericarditis, all other cases occurred after the first vaccine dose. More than half of adolescents with pericarditis and myocarditis were hospitalized or went to the emergency room. It is not known how many adolescents required intensive care, although the maximum length of stay for treatment of myocarditis was one day.

Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, who was not involved in the study, told The Epoch Times that the study is one of several showing that vaccination against COVID-19 is not medically necessary for children, given the infection rate is less than 1 percent. and that excessive testing for COVID-19 is a waste of resources.
