Covid Vaccines Sharply Raise Risk of Death or Heart Failure, Major New Peer-Reviewed Study Shows
Being vaccinated against Covid sharply increased the risk heart attack patients would die or suffer heart failure after heart attacks, a major new peer-reviewed study in leading journal Vaccine shows.
Alex Berenson has written about the study on his Substack, Unreported Truths.
Over a six-month period after their heart attacks, Covid vaccinated patients had nearly double the risk of unjabbed ones. The risk appeared concentrated in patients who were both vaccinated and had had Covid before their heart attacks.
The researchers examined outcomes from almost 1,000 heart attack patients from March 2020 through March 2023 in a Madrid hospital.
They found vaccinated and previously infected patients had an over 50% higher risk of death or heart failure than unvaccinated people who had also been previously infected – and a 90% higher risk than those who were unvaccinated and previously uninfected.
The gap remained even after researchers adjusted for risk factors such as smoking, blood pressure and age.
“The combination of vaccination and natural immunisation against SARS-CoV-2 may predispose to the development of severe heart failure,” they wrote. Most patients had received the mRNA jabs from Pfizer and Moderna.
The paper may help explain why post-Covid death rates remain persistently high in heavily vaccinated countries, belying the predictions of epidemiologists who expected death rates to fall below normal after the epidemic ended.
Heart attacks remain the top cause of death in most wealthy countries. Even a small increase in their long-term lethality would be enough to push overall mortality up notably.
The paper does not prove the Covid vaccines caused the extra deaths or cases of heart failure. But the researchers found that heart attack patients who were vaccinated and had recovered from Covid had about 31 times more anti-spike protein antibodies than unvaccinated patients who had been infected and recovered.
That vaccine-driven increase – or as, the researchers called it, an “enhanced serologic immune response” – could produce more inflammation and damage to the cardiovascular system, the researchers wrote.
They noted the vaccinated and immunized patients tended to present with more heart severe attacks on admission, and the link between severity and vaccination status was particularly notable in patients under 65.

The study provides important support for the theory, long highlighted in the Daily Sceptic, that both vaccines and Covid may be contributing to ongoing excess cardiovascular deaths, with the vaccines playing a major role.
