On Oct. 7, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo shared an analysis his agency performed on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. It showed an increased risk of cardiac death for men 18-39 who received the vaccine:
This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks.
Based on these findings, Ladapo recommended males aged 18-39 not receive the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. The new guidance he issued also noted that males over 60 had a 10% increased risk of cardiac-related death within 28 days of mRNA vaccination. It encouraged Floridians to discuss all the potential risks and benefits of the mRNA vaccine with their physician.
