Fact-Check: Does a Leaked Pfizer Report Show Vaccinated Hearts Are 'Rapidly Decaying'?

Introduction

A recent article from The People's Voice claims that a leaked Pfizer report reveals that the hearts of vaccinated people are 'rapidly decaying,' leading to various serious heart conditions. The article cites a leaked MHRA report obtained by journalist Nick Hunt, which allegedly shows that vaccinated individuals are at a significantly higher risk of dying from heart problems than their unvaccinated peers. This claim review will examine the evidence and context surrounding this claim.

Understanding the Claim

The claim is based on a supposed Post Authorisation Safety Study (PASS) of Pfizer’s Covid vaccine, which allegedly shows increased risks of heart conditions among vaccinated individuals. The article presents cumulative incidence graphs from Pfizer’s 'Interim Report 5,' suggesting that the incidence of heart conditions is significantly higher in vaccinated individuals and worsens over time.

Analyzing the Evidence

The article references specific heart conditions such as acute cardiovascular injury, arrhythmia, heart failure, stress cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, and myocarditis. However, the data presented in the article is not accompanied by peer-reviewed studies or official statements from regulatory bodies.

It is crucial to note that the interpretation of the data in the article is not supported by the broader scientific community. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have consistently maintained that the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the risks. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that the risk of myocarditis after mRNA vaccination is rare and typically mild.

Furthermore, the article's claim that the MHRA is 'sitting on the report' is speculative and lacks evidence. Regulatory bodies like the MHRA and FDA continuously monitor the safety of vaccines and would issue warnings if significant risks were identified.

Misinterpretation of Data

The article misinterprets the data by suggesting that the curves diverge over time, indicating an increasing risk. However, without access to the full report and methodology, it is impossible to verify these claims. The article also fails to consider confounding factors that could influence the results, such as underlying health conditions or lifestyle factors.

Conclusion

The claim that a leaked Pfizer report shows vaccinated hearts are 'rapidly decaying' is misleading and not supported by credible evidence. The data presented is misinterpreted, and the article lacks context and peer-reviewed studies. The scientific consensus remains that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, with benefits outweighing the risks.
