You may have come across some statements that lately there has been a big increase in the number of heart attacks. So it’s kind ofheart attack epidemic‘ is also commonly used.

Questions about the reasons for this increase generally include: ‘corona vaccines’ the answer has been given. It is said that “heart attacks have increased, the reason is vaccines” because of the debate over the medium and long-term side effects of vaccines, as well as the strength of some social media conspiracy theories. So how true are these statements? What does science say about it?

Let’s find the answer to our question first; Have heart attack cases really increased?

It is true that the number of heart attack cases has increased. Moreover, not only in the number of heart attacks, but also in the number of heart disease in general. Worldwide there is a huge increase.

But these cases have not increased in the past two years. anyway It has been one of the diseases that causes the most deaths in the world for years. heart disease comes first. Moreover, the fact that this number will increase has been supported by various studies for years.

It is also the case that an ‘extra increase’ is observed after Covid. But here it’s a big mistake to call it responsible vaccines. There are many reasons for this increase as well as for heart disease that has increased over the years. If you wish, let’s take a look at the causes of this situation, dubbed the “heart attack epidemic,” and see if it’s related to coronavirus vaccines.

Heart disease will cause more deaths every year

Generally one of the leading causes of heart disease an unhealthy lifestyle there is. Numerous factors such as malnutrition, stress and environmental pollution cause a constant increase in heart disease. Each of these factors is also supported by scientific research.

for example that air pollution has a significant impact on cardiovascular disease in both adolescents and adults. there is a lot of research. Likewise, the effects of diet and stress on the risk of heart disease and heart attack have long been known.

In short, the point that modern life brings into people’s daily activities raises heart disease. Every day we eat worse, live more stressed, wake up to a dirtier day. This, in turn, directly affects the increase in the number of cases.

In addition, the ever-expanding population and the increase in the number of older people compared to the young population are naturally reflected in the heart disease reports. In addition, for the reasons mentioned above, impact on teens and young adultsIt also increases the rate of heart attacks and heart disease at a young age.

Let’s take a look at the link between Covid-19 and heart disease…

It has been supported by many studies conducted over the past 3 years that Covid-19 has increased the number and severity of heart disease. A comprehensive study conducted on this topic in February 2022 shows that Covid-19 the risk of many heart disease and vascular diseases, from heart failure to heart attack It turned out that it increased at a rapid rate, especially within a year of overcoming the disease.

In the study, the researchers found that the frequency of many diseases, such as heart failure and stroke, People who survived Covid-19 found it was significantly higher than those who did not recover from the disease.

Moreover, Covid-19’s relationship to heart disease is not limited to the disease itself and its effects on the body.

As you know, with the onset of the pandemic, the whole world lifestyle has completely changed. We went through a long period of hardly moving, unhealthy eating and experiencing intense stress. In addition, according to experts from many parts of the world, the number of hospital visits and treatments for people with heart disease has declined during this period.

All this, the Covid-19 epidemic and subsequent heart attacks and heart disease. increased the already rising rates even higher. All this data was supported by research in different parts of the world.

Do vaccines have nothing to do with heart disease?

It is true that some heart diseases have been observed as a ‘side effect’ after the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines applied in our country. heart muscle inflammation and inflammation of the pericardium These two conditions, known as .

Inflammation of the heart muscle and the pericardium is also one of the effects of Covid-19. However common, frequent flu and the use of antibiotics is already one of the main reasons for these two situations. In other words, these situations are not just cases that can be linked to Covid-19 or mRNA vaccines.

Generally within a week of vaccination shows itself. These two conditions, with symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, result in a quick recovery and no signs of permanent damage were seen. These effects after mRNA vaccines have already been researched, explained and accepted by the scientific community. However ‘Vaccines led to heart attack epidemic’ They are not in the frequency and intensity that can cause such a statement. So these statements do not reflect reality.

We talked about this specialist pediatrician, He also stated that there were cases of heart muscle inflammation in children, but all children recovered. At the same time he has never encountered a case of heart attack. stated.

The perception on this issue has been established as if science says ‘vaccines have no side effects’ and something is being hidden. How From a painkiller we take to an antibiotic, all the drugs I’ve never read in their inserts. If there are many side effects mentioned, it is very normal to have side effects in their vaccines. However, the incidence of side effects is quite low. With simple math, side effects of a vaccine administered to billions of people It is equally normal for it to occur in thousands of people.

However, in a scenario where there are no vaccines, it is more difficult to overcome. The harm of Covid-19 symptoms to the human body is much greater. For this reason, we should think a thousand times before making our personal comments on a subject that has such an impact on human health.

People who unknowingly use drugs who find a solution to their headaches by drinking like water and saying, “Well, they made a good medicine, I drank it, I have nothing left”; developed vaccines for a disease that affects the lives of millions of people and saves millions of lives. sacrifice to conspiracy theories, It endangers public health and we must put an end to it.
