If you are in hospital with the virus, the odds of developing heart inflammation goes up more than thirty times.
Most people recover fully with rest and a few days of supportive treatment while being monitored in a hospital,” he said, adding that all vaccines cause side effects, noting that myocarditis has also been linked to the flu, smallpox, and shingles vaccines.
He also urges people to remember that even if they were to be one of the few affected by vaccine-linked myocarditis, the symptoms are largely mild, and usually disappear in a few days. In fact, he says that only about one out of 100 cases of heart inflammation linked to COVID-19 vaccines is life-threatening: “An analysis of 627 cases of vaccine-linked myocarditis worldwide showed that 626 fully recovered — and one fatality.
Compare this risk to the impact of COVID-19 infection on the heart, which Fleg said, can cause lingering effects on the heart, damage and even death.
