“Men should not take the COVID-19 vaccine due to the risk of heart damage.”
What Vera Files found
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ordered Pfizer and Moderna to update their COVID-19 vaccine warnings to include heart damage risk. However, the warning refers only to increased risk and not guaranteed damage. The adverse effects were observed in 38 cases for every 1 million (0.0038%) men aged 12 to 24 who received the vaccine, not in all recipients of the vaccine.
