In India, the health minister recently appointed a panel to investigate the link between young people dying of #SuddenCardiacDeath and #COVID.

"The number of such deaths in people aged less than 50 years was 15% during the pre-Covid time but later shot up to 24%, added Dr Singh."

The case for #COVID19 #vaccines causing #SuddenCardiacDeath is so strong that #DiedSuddenly has to use reports of unvaccinated people dying to make it's case.🤦

Because they are #grifters who make a living off of harming others.

#VaccinesWork #VaccinesSaveLives #disinformation

Almost 40,000 Canadians suffer #SuddenCardiacArrest in their home, office, or on the street every year.

#SuddenCardiacDeath #SaveALife

We are starting to see anti-vaxx grifters use the fraudulent documentary #DiedSuddenly to push the myth that #COVID #vaccines cause #SuddenCardiacDeath.

Their claim: no one died suddenly before COVID vaccines.

Fact: In Canada in 2019, 40,000 people suffered sudden cardiac arrest outside of hospital & 90% died.

That's 36,000 deaths in 1 country, before COVID19.

Fact: COVID increases the risk of #arrhythmias, which are a major cause of sudden cardiac death. Vaccines do not.

#FactsMatter

They claim #SuddenCardiacDeath in kids "never happened" before #COVID19 #vaccines.

That is a lie.

A 2016 review lists numerous studies that investigated SCD in kids.

https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.115.020254

None of this is surprising. Anti-vaccine grifters have always promoted myths & lies for profit.

They literally make a living by causing harm & death.

Great thread about #SuddenCardiacDeath after #covid19 #vaccines

2. Rates of #SuddenCardiacDeath has ⬆️ in elite athletes because of #vaccines.

Not true. When you read articles that make this claim, their definition of "athlete" is broad, including officials, people doing regular exercise, & retired athletes.

Second, most reported cases in the media contain no information about vaccination & several occurred before vaccines were even available. Many also mention a previous COVID infection, which is linked to sudden cardiac death.

One of the biggest & most persistent myths of this pandemic has been the claim of a link between #COVID19 #vaccines & #SuddenCardiacDeath in #athletes.

Let's look at these claims...

1. Athletes never died suddenly.

Not true. Sudden cardiac death has long been a leading cause of death, even in elite athletes. We knew this before the pandemic. As someone who teaches #cardiology, I've dedicated a whole lecture to this for over a decade. This is not new.
