Published studies show that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines cause metabolic cardiomyopathy and sudden cardiac death
Misrepresents source: None of the three studies found that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines increase the risk of sudden death or metabolic cardiomyopathy, as McCullough claimed. One study of autopsies of vaccinated people clarified that none of the deaths were caused by the vaccine; another study was performed in people who showed no symptoms of heart problems and didn’t report any deaths, while the other study used very high doses of vaccine that aren’t comparable to doses used in vaccination. [...] During the interview, McCullough claimed that three studies—one from Krauson et al., another from Nakahara et al., and the other from Schreckenberg et al.—were evidence that the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines caused "a form of metabolic cardiomyopathy" that could explain "sudden cardiac death"[1-3]. [...] The claim that these three studies point to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines causing "metabolic cardiomyopathy" and "sudden cardiac death" is baseless. As we explained above, McCullough’s statements about the studies misrepresent their findings or leave out important information that contradicts his claim. In fact, none of the studies found any association between COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and sudden cardiac death or metabolic cardiomyopathy. Other published studies have also found no association between COVID-19 vaccination and sudden death or an increase in all-cause mortality.
