Increasing heart attacks in recent years create curiosity and concern. Within a week, first journalist Yılmaz Özdil and then TRT announcer Erdoğan Arıkan had a heart attack, which once again started the debate on social media about “Do Covid vaccines cause heart attacks?” Some people who do not have a physician identity; While the association of heart attack cases with mRNA vaccines developed against Covid-19 caused confusion among citizens, experts pointed out that the public was deliberately wanted to scare. Speaking to Haberglobal.com.tr, cardiologist Prof. Dr. Meral Kayıkçıoğlu said, “It is not right to blame Covid-19 vaccines. Those who blame vaccines and those who blame cholesterol drugs are the same people. Functional physicians want to increase the interest in vitamins and supplements with the lie that Covid-19 vaccines cause heart attacks. Anti-vaccines and opponents of cholesterol drugs are always the same.” Is it a coincidence that there are people? he said.

Approximately 200 thousand people die from heart attacks every year in Turkey. According to scientists, approximately 35 percent of the society is a potential heart patient.

THERE ARE MANY FACTORS

Adding that there has been an increase in colon cancer cases recently, Prof. Dr. Kayıkçıoğlu said, “Heart attacks have decreased at an early age due to many factors. The risk of heart attack already increases after the age of 50. There is also an increase in stroke cases after Covid-19. “It is not scientific to blame only vaccines when there are many factors such as inactivity, stress, diet and air pollution.” he said.

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WERE DIED

“Scientifically, there is no evidence that Covid-19 vaccines cause heart attacks. Anti-vaxxers make a wrong equation by comparing the situation of people before the pandemic with people who have had Covid-19. Vaccinations were made to prevent deaths. Moreover, Covid-19 vaccines only affect millions of people.” Without vaccination, we would have lost millions of people, not only from the virus, but also from the diseases and heart attacks caused by the virus. As a physician, I have received mRNA vaccine 5 times. If I had known that the vaccine caused heart attacks, I would not have received 5 doses myself. “The lies of a group of non-experts are endless.”

NO INCREASE

Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kemal Erol (Cardiologist)

“Since we do not have statistical data showing that vaccines cause heart attacks, such statements should not be relied upon. Extensive statistical research should be conducted to say that heart attacks are increasing. I would like to state that we do not have any observations that heart attacks are increasing. Such claims are made when public figures become ill. “There is no connection between vaccines and heart attacks.”

According to the results of a study conducted on 500 thousand people in Korea in 2022 and published in the respected Medical Journal Jawa, the risk of stroke and heart attack after Covid-19 in unvaccinated individuals was twice as high as in vaccinated individuals.

DO NOT HANG YOUR EARS

Prof. Dr. İsmail Polat Canbolat (Cardiology Specialist)

“In order to say that Covid-19 vaccines trigger heart attacks, there should be no variables in terms of social, economic, environmental or stress after vaccination. However, we know that this is not the case. On the one hand, serious air pollution and stress; On the other hand, there is a vortex caused by smoking, alcohol, diabetes, processed food and inactivity. For this reason, the rumors spread by anti-vaxxers should not be listened to.”
