"Health misinformation remains one of Covid’s most damaging legacies, with
online falsehoods fuelling vaccine hesitancy, sowing mistrust and eroding
public health efforts worldwide.
Shifting policies and political rhetoric in the US have deepened the confusion,
with some experts warning that scepticism is partly to blame for the resurgence
of vaccine-preventable diseases like whooping cough.
Now, a study involving millions of children in England – covering 85% of the
entire youth population – has compared for the first time the cardiac risks of
Covid infection with those linked to vaccination.
It found that infection came with a “substantially higher risk” of the
inflammatory heart conditions pericarditis and myocarditis compared to
immunisation. Where children had been immunised, cardiac risks were also
shorter-lived.
Principal author Dr Alexia Sampri, from the University of Cambridge, said: “Our
whole-population study during the pandemic showed that although these
conditions were rare, children and young people were more likely to experience
heart, vascular or inflammatory problems after a Covid-19 infection than after
having the vaccine – and the risks after infection lasted much longer.”
Cambridge University teamed up with colleagues from University College London,
the University of Edinburgh and the British Heart Foundation to carry out the
work."
