A new U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study does not disprove a link between COVID-19 vaccines and sudden deaths among young people, contrary to claims.
Other papers that support a link between deaths among young people and COVID-19 vaccination include a study that analyzed post-vaccination deaths in Qatar and determined there was a "High probability" that eight sudden cardiac deaths, including one person aged 11 to 20, were caused by the vaccination.
Dr. Ofer Levy, an adviser to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, told NBC that no vaccine has ever been conclusively linked to sudden cardiac death and that the new study "Adds to evidence that people don't drop dead from getting their mRNA COVID vaccines." Dr. Levy did not respond when asked whether he was aware of the South Korean paper and other literature.
Authors Respond Asked why they didn't mention literature that presents evidence of sudden cardiac death among previously healthy young people after vaccination, the authors told The Epoch Times in an email that they had. The studies they included are an Israeli paper that does not mention sudden death; a letter that noted sudden deaths among athletes, regardless of vaccination status, since the vaccines were rolled out; an analysis of 911 calls from Israel; and a case definition for myocarditis that says it can be a cause of sudden death.
The authors also linked to a 2021 CDC statement and a 2021 CDC presentation, neither of which mention sudden death.
The CDC should "Not have published their study without acknowledging the international studies that have identified post-mRNA vax-related cardiac death in young people," Dr. Tracy Hoeg, who was not involved in the research, wrote on the social media platform X. In the paper, the authors also cited an earlier CDC study that found people who entered a health system were at higher risk of cardiac complications after COVID-19 infection versus after COVID-19 vaccination.
Limitations of the paper include the small population size, which would make it "Less likely" for Oregon to record "a rare event such as sudden cardiac death among adolescents and young adults," the authors wrote in the study.
