A South Korean study published in Nature Communications found significantly increased risks of serious cardiac and neurological conditions, including myocarditis, pericarditis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome, following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. The study, which followed nearly 4.5 million people for an average of 15 months, also noted elevated risks for several autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and bullous pemphigoid. The researchers used these findings to validate their study design but did not emphasize the alarming data on cardiac and neurological risks. Critics have accused the researchers of downplaying these risks and called for more transparency and further investigation.
Editor’s Note: The South Korean study highlights significant concerns about the safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, particularly the increased risks of myocarditis, pericarditis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. The researchers’ decision to downplay the alarming cardiac and neurological risks raises questions about transparency and potential bias. Future research regarding this issue should prioritize long-term, diverse population studies to understand better and address vaccine-related side effects.
