Is covid-19 more harmful to the heart than the vaccine?

Which is worse, covid-19 vaccine or covid-19 infection? The quick answer is that the infection is more serious. But I hope you can tell me why. That way you can make better decisions. The risk of serious covid-19 depends on the age and physical condition of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, heart disease, etc.

We fell into the illusion of two years. Omicron seems to be in recession. We all hope to return to our daily life. I doubt that covid-19 will accompany us for a long time and will never disappear completely. But I think you can learn to accept it. Accepting it includes protecting yourself.

How can you best protect yourself?

This is not much different from the way you protect yourself before getting on the car. You plan your route, you know where you are going, you check your side mirrors, fasten your seat belts, and finally, you drive carefully and safely. This is just like the process of protecting oneself from novel coronavirus pneumonia. Is it a high-risk or low-risk environment. Pay attention to people around who may have disease symptoms, and check the side mirror image. If you think it is most appropriate to wear a safety belt and a mask, you are wearing a mask. If you haven’t been vaccinated, consider vaccinating strongly. This is like a program to protect yourself from novel coronavirus infection.

Is covid-19 vaccination dangerous?

In short, this is not usually the case. Infection may be worse than vaccination. As we know more about COVID, even minor cases will obviously increase the risk of internal damage. Among the hospitalized patients of covid-19, everyone has different degrees of organ damage. If hospitalized due to infection, the probability of heart inflammation is high. This is the symbol of COVID. Everyone in ICU has heart inflammation. Whether it is life-threatening depends on its seriousness. Vaccination is not without risks. However, the risk of myocarditis or pericarditis after covid-19 vaccination is relatively low.

What do statistics represent?

Compared with 40 cases for every 100000 cases after novel coronavirus pneumonia, 2 to 10 cases of heart inflammation will be increased for every 10 vaccine recoveries. Another example means that more examples often occur than before COVID. Compared with injection, infection increases the risk of heart inflammation by 4 to 20 times. Compared with the vaccine, the disease increased by 400-2000%. Please refer to this citation.

What is the heart inflammation caused by the vaccine?

Good question. It usually occurs in young men aged 12 to 30 years, most often after the second injection. Treatment usually rests at home, sometimes in hospital, including ICU. Generally speaking, the heart inflammation is stable, and there is no death so far. Symptoms include chest pain and difficulty breathing. After vaccination, the total incidence rate of myocarditis is about 1.7 cases per 100000 times. Don’t forget that the world has received more than 8 billion vaccines.

Which vaccine has more cases of heart inflammation?

Warsaw has 1 in 71000 pieces and Modena has 1 in 24000 pieces, which is about 4 times. Almost all patients are mild patients. According to the National Meteorological Agency, the probability of being hit by lightning in one’s life is one in 15000.

Cardiac inflammation update date: April 12, 2022

“Ranshit ” has just synthesized the vaccine from 1947 to 2021 and cardiac inflammation or myocarditis/pericarditis. Among the more than 400 million vaccines, the incidence rate of the novel coronavirus pneumonia vaccine is 180000/100000 times, and the incidence rate of all verona vaccines is 560000/100000 times. The inoculation rate of smallpox vaccine is the highest, 56 per 1 million times. The inoculation rate of novel coronavirus vaccine is similar to that of typical influenza vaccine. The greatest risk of mRNA COVID vaccine is still men under 30 years old and after the second injection.

So, how should I decide?

Like anything in medicine, it weighs risks and benefits. The risk of heart inflammation is low; “If you have chronic diseases, your risk factors are much higher.” But if you are young and healthy, the risk of developing covid-19 is low, but not always. Even healthy people can be sent to the ICU. Unfortunately, they sometimes die. Pregnant women seem to be at greater risk than most people. If you still have doubts about your own danger, please talk to your doctor about what is best for you.

I wish you good health,
