Does the vaccine cause heart issues?
From 177,000,000 vaccine doses in the U.S., about 1000 cases of Myocarditis occurred.
Early in the summer of 2021, when about 177 million doses of the vaccine had been given in the U.S. there were approximately 1000 cases of Myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. That’s about 4.8 cases per 1 million.* It typically resolves on its own. When it occurs, Myocarditis seems to happen in young males.
