The mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna come with a higher likelihood of myocarditis, according to a peer-reviewed study of more than 23 million people in the Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

The study by a team of researchers with the health agencies of those countries, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, identified 1,077 “incident myocarditis events” and 1,149 “incident pericarditis events” among 23,122,522 Nordic residents (81% of whom were vaccinated by the end of the study; 50.2% of whom were female).

“Within the 28-day period, for males and females 12 years or older combined who received a homologous schedule, the second dose was associated with higher risk of myocarditis.”

“These extra cases among men aged 16–24 correspond to a 5 times increased risk after Comirnaty [the Pfizer shot] and 15 times increased risk after Spikevax [Moderna] compared to unvaccinated,” the Swedish Medical Products Agency’s Dr. Rickard Ljung, one of the researchers behind the study, told The Epoch Times.

The study notes that the risk of myocarditis from COVID itself “was highest in the older age groups, whereas the risk of myocarditis after vaccination was highest in the younger age groups,” further reinforcing that the danger of the virus varies based on age, a fact often neglected by the public health establishment over the past two years.

The authors qualify their findings by stating that overall, “myocarditis after mRNA vaccination was rare in this study cohort and even among young males,” and add that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency, and American College of Cardiology all assert that the “benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks,” a claim endorsed by a press release for the study.

Dr. Peter McCullough, a cardiologist and prominent critic of the COVID medical establishment who is currently chief medical adviser for the Truth for Health Foundation, disputed that notion in a statement to Epoch.

The study adds another data point in support of those who harbor doubts about the abortion-tainted COVID-19 vaccines, which were developed under U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” initiative in a tenth of the time vaccine development usually takes and a quarter of the time it took the previous record-holder (the mumps vaccine).

In late February, during a COVID-19 vaccine hearing held by U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), attorney Thomas Renz presented medical billing data from the Pentagon’s Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) showing that 2021 saw drastic spikes in a variety of diagnoses for serious medical issues over the previous five-year average, including hypertension (2,181%), neurological disorders (1,048%), multiple sclerosis (680%), Guillain-Barre syndrome (551%), breast cancer, 487%), female infertility (472%), pulmonary embolism (468%), migraines (452%), ovarian dysfunction (437%), testicular cancer (369%), and tachycardia (302%).
