Booster dose causes myocarditis The medical journal The Lancet has criticized the massive booster vaccination against coronavirus. The publication was prepared by an international team of experts, including scientists from the World Health Organization (WHO). Scientists say that the vaccines used are quite effective. They believe that there is no point in re-vaccination at the moment. Moreover, doctors say that a second vaccine too hastily introduced can lead to diseases such as myocarditis and Guillain-Barre syndrome. WHO claims that all of the above applies at least to mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna and others), as well as drugs based on adenovirus, including the Russian Sputnik V. It is argued that prior to the administration of booster doses of vaccine to humans, it is necessary to conduct studies that will assess their effect on humans. In addition, WHO experts say the drugs should be available in all countries. It is emphasized that some states are still unable to provide primary vaccination. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium) that develops in the absence of ischemia (a violation of the blood supply). If the inflammation spreads to the serous membrane of the heart - the pericardium, they speak of pericarditis. Some people have minimal symptoms, while others develop heart failure and life-threatening arrhythmias. With clinical manifestations, serious treatment is required, since there is a risk of developing dilated cardiomyopathy and other complications.
