No link found between COVID vaccinations and cardiac deaths in young people, CDC says
(CNN) – The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found no link between COVID vaccines and cardiac deaths among young people.
The results come from an analysis of death certificates from Oregon residents who died from any heart condition or unknown reasons between June 2021 and December 2022.
Nearly 1,300 death certificates from people between the ages of 16 and 30 were reviewed.
Out of 101 death certificates where a cardiac event wasn’t ruled out as a cause of death, 40 people received a COVID vaccine. Only three of those people died within 100 days of vaccination.
None of the death certificates listed vaccination as an immediate or contributing cause of death.
The study was in response to claims young people experienced inflammation of the heart muscle after receiving the COVID vaccine.
