Study proves COVID-19 as source of heart complications, not vaccines

A recent groundbreaking study examining data from 20 million individuals across the U.K., Spain, and Estonia has concluded that COVID-19 is responsible for various health issues, including heart and thromboembolic complications, not the vaccines.

Turkish Respiratory Society (TUSAD) Infection Working Group member professor Berna Komurcuoglu sharing this insight said: "Nearly all diseases were attributed to the vaccine's side effects. However, this research shows that COVID-19 itself causes cardiovascular and thromboembolic complications, not the vaccine".

Komurcuoglu also warns that despite the omicron variant reducing the severity of COVID-19, the virus continues to cause vascular side effects even in mild cases.

She emphasized the diminishing protection offered by vaccines administered over a year ago and advised annual vaccinations for older individuals and those with serious chronic illnesses.

In a related study published in BMJ Journals and discussed by Medyascope's Burak Siperli, researchers found that coronavirus vaccines decrease the risk of heart disease in those who have contracted the virus.

This study, involving a comparison of over 10 million vaccinated individuals with nearly the same number of unvaccinated ones, discredits the myth that vaccines heighten the risk of heart attacks.

Regarding this research's significance, Gazi University's professor Nurdan Kokturk highlights, "Both short-term and long-term reductions in cardiac diseases have been observed with vaccination."

Professor Esin Senol, an infectious diseases expert, also praised the thoroughness and reliability of the studies. "Numerous studies have already shown that coronavirus vaccines decrease complications like these," she said.

Further supporting these findings, research in the Heart Journal analyzed by professor Dr. Mayda Gursel shows that vaccines significantly lower the risk of severe cardiovascular complications linked to COVID-19.

This comprehensive study looked at the health records of approximately 21 million people, revealing the protective role of vaccination against heart-related issues and thromboembolic events post-COVID-19.

These extensive studies collectively underscore the crucial role of COVID-19 vaccines in mitigating risks associated with the virus, refuting previous concerns over vaccine safety and highlighting the ongoing need for vaccination campaigns.
