Study: COVID-19 vaccine is more dangerous to children's health than the disease itself

American researchers say adolescents are more likely to develop vaccine-related myocarditis (more on this side effect can be read here) than get to the hospital with Covid.

American scientists say healthy boys are more likely to be admitted to hospital with the rare side effect of the Pfizer / BioNTech Covid vaccine, causing inflammation of the heart, than Covid itself.

Analysis of medical data shows that boys between the ages of 12 and 15 without any underlying medical conditions are four to six times more likely to develop vaccine-dependent myocarditis than in a hospital with Covid over a four-month period.

Most children who have experienced this rare side effect develop symptoms within a few days of the second Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine, although a similar side effect occurs with Moderna. According to the authors, about 86% of the affected boys required hospitalization.

Saul Faust, professor of pediatric immunology and infectious diseases at the University of Southampton, said the findings justify the UK's Joint Vaccines and Immunization Committee's cautious approach to vaccines for adolescents.

The JCVI has not recommended vaccinating healthy children between 12 and 15 years of age, but has referred the matter to the UK's chief medical officer, who is expected to make a final decision next week. Children between the ages of 12 and 15 who are particularly vulnerable to Covid or who live with those at risk are eligible for the vaccine.

В последнем исследовании, которое еще предстоит рецензировать, доктор Трейси Хёг из Калифорнийского университета и его коллеги проанализировали побочные реакции на вакцины против Covid у детей в возрасте от 12 до 17 лет в США в течение первых шести месяцев 2021 года. Они оценивают частоту миокардита. После двух прививок вакцины Pfizer / BioNTech — 162,2 случая на миллион для здоровых мальчиков в возрасте от 12 до 15 лет и 94 случая на миллион для здоровых мальчиков в возрасте от 16 до 17 лет. Эквивалентные показатели для девочек составили 13,4 и 13 случаев на миллион, соответственно. По их словам, при нынешних темпах инфицирования в США риск того, что здоровый подросток будет доставлен в больницу с Covid в течение следующих 120 дней, составляет около 44 на миллион.

How reliable the data are and whether similar numbers can be seen in the UK if healthy children between 12 and 15 years of age are vaccinated is unclear: vaccine reactions are reported differently in the US, and vaccinations are given at longer intervals in the UK. The incidence of myocarditis after Covid vaccination is only six per million Pfizer / BioNTech shots, according to the UK drug regulator.

So far, British children have not been hospitalized for Covid in large numbers and may not be at high risk of prolonged Covid. While a recent Clock study found that about 14% of children who contracted Covid may still have symptoms 15 weeks later, at a level fatigue is not affected. This suggests that children can be spared some of the most debilitating symptoms seen with long-term Covid in adults.

The vast majority of myocarditis occurs after the second dose of the vaccine, so single shots can protect children and further reduce the risk of side effects.

«Хотя миокардит после вакцинации встречается исключительно редко, мы сможем изменить первую или вторую дозу или по-другому комбинировать вакцины, чтобы вообще избежать риска, как только мы лучше поймем физиологию», — сказал профессор Фауст. «В целом, нет необходимости в срочной иммунизации детей с медицинской точки зрения, хотя, если школы не смогут постоянно поддерживать образовательный процесс для подавляющего большинства, общий баланс может измениться. Если NHS предложит вакцину двум моим детям-подросткам, мы с моей женой-терапевтом let's not hesitate to let them get vaccinated. "

Professor Adam Finn, JCVI member at the University of Bristol, said: “I support the JCVI's recommendation that healthy children 12 to 15 years of age should not be vaccinated at this time for reasons of risk and health benefits. Given the current uncertainty, rare harm may outweigh modest benefits. "

MHRA заявило, что внимательно отслеживает все доступные данные о потенциальном риске миокардита и перикардита после вакцинации против Covid-19. «Мы пришли к выводу, что вакцины против Covid-19, произведенные Pfizer / BioNTech и Moderna, могут быть связаны с небольшим увеличением риска этих очень редких состояний. Случаи, как правило, были легкими, и подавляющее большинство выздоровело после простого лечения и отдыха », — добавили они.

The spokesperson said the latest study was reviewed by the government's independent advisory body, the Covid-19 Vaccine Risk Reduction Expert Working Group, which found that interpretation of the results was limited by the fact that the study did not take into account differences in treatment methods when comparing hospitalization rates. between Covid-19 infections and myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination, and there was no estimate of the severity and duration of illness after hospitalization.

«Существуют стратегии мониторинга безопасности для лиц младше 18 лет, включая мониторинг миокардита и перикардита, возникающих после вакцинации, и долгосрочных результатов этих последствий. MHRA продолжает внимательно следить за безопасностью вакцин против Covid-19 », — добавил представитель.
