Scientists talked about the deadly danger of coronavirus for adolescents and said that unvaccinated children are 21 times more likely to suffer from heart inflammation during the course of the disease than their vaccinated peers, writes the Daily Mail.
In June, doctors warned that some young people have side effects of heart inflammation after receiving Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. Because of this, young people began to delay vaccination and did not dare to vaccinate. However, doctors noted that with a long course of coronavirus, adolescents also suffer from problems with the cardiovascular system.
Scientists at Case University Western Reserve District in Cleveland, Ohio, analyzed data from COVID-19 patients and vaccine recipients between the ages of 12 and 17. They found that inflammation of the heart, also known as myocarditis, after exposure to the virus was six times more common in unvaccinated boys and 21 times more common in unvaccinated girls than their vaccinated peers. Under these conditions, vaccination appears to be a safer option, according to Dr. Mendel Singer.
An inflamed heart cannot pump blood properly, and this condition causes heart failure and, in some cases, sudden death.
In the course of scientific work, the researchers analyzed the data of 28 thousand patients from 12 to 17 years old. Half of the participants were sick with COVID-19, and the other received the vaccine.
On July 6, the first Russian teenagers were vaccinated against the coronavirus. Children have no complications, said Ismail Osmanov, chief pediatrician of the Moscow health department, head physician of the Bashlyaeva children's city clinical hospital.
