Damning study of over a million kids finds myocarditis only in the vaccinated | 19 March 2026 | Biden administration officials and so-called experts characterized COVID-19 vaccines as “safe and effective” during the pandemic. Although the Trump administration has alternatively acknowledged the risks and fallout associated with the vaccines, a coalition of medical organizations is fighting to legally force the government to keep recommending the COVID jabs to healthy kids and pregnant women. That legal effort appears especially questionable given the finding in a recent study. The peer-reviewed study — conducted by researchers at the University of Oxford, the University of Bristol, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and published in January in the scientific journal Epidemiology — looked at the safety and effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine in healthy children ages 5-15 following the rollout that began in late 2021. Researchers noted that “myocarditis and pericarditis were documented only in the vaccinated groups, with rates of 27 and 10 cases/million after the first and second doses, respectively.”
