Vaccinated Children Suffering Heart Attacks | Allegations of Vaccine Genocide
In a recent article, author Steve Kirsch claims that cardiac arrests in children under 20 have become more common since the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. This assertion, however, contradicts the current evidence which indicates a very low incidence of cardiac arrest in this age group following vaccination.
According to Kirsch, he knows of 15 children under 20 who have died from cardiac arrest after receiving the COVID vaccine. This includes an 11-year-old who recently passed away from a cardiac arrest. While these cases are undoubtedly tragic, it's crucial to approach such claims with a critical eye, especially when no evidence or studies are provided to support them.
The medical community, on the other hand, is attributing deaths of children from cardiac arrest to unknown causes. This practice, as suggested by Kirsch, could potentially be preventing children from getting the help they need based on the real issue.
However, it's important to note that myocarditis, not cardiac arrest, has been identified as the main cardiovascular concern post-vaccination in children and adolescents. According to a detailed Bayesian network analysis, vaccine-associated myocarditis risk was found to be far lower than myocarditis risk from COVID-19 infection[1].
Cardiovascular safety studies involving large populations have also shown overall cardiovascular event rates, such as heart attacks and strokes, to be lower after COVID-19 vaccination than before or without vaccination[2]. Updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have not increased the risk of serious adverse events, including cardiac events, in the studied populations[3].
Large-scale global estimates show COVID-19 vaccination has saved millions of lives and life-years, with very low severe adverse event rates. In young populations (children and adolescents under 20), the benefits in preventing severe COVID-19 complications outweigh the risks, with negligible vaccine-related mortality or cardiac arrest reported[4][5].
Despite these findings, Kirsch's opinion is that the medical community is not addressing the issue honestly. He suggests that this practice is criminal. However, it's essential to stress that continued surveillance and research are ongoing to monitor vaccine safety closely.

- Steve Kirsch's claims of a link between cardiac arrests in children under 20 and COVID-19 vaccines are based on 15 allegedly unsupported cases, including an 11-year-old who recently died from a cardiac arrest, suggesting that they could potentially be preventing children from receiving necessary help.
- Despite medical research indicating myocarditis, not cardiac arrest, as the main cardiovascular concern for children and adolescents post-vaccination, and showing low cardiovascular event rates after vaccination, Kirsch believes the medical community is not addressing the issue honestly and considers this practice to be criminal.
- Continued surveillance and research on vaccine safety in the context of health-and-wellness and mental-health, are ongoing, and readers are encouraged to contribute to an informed discussion about this crucial topic.
