A new scientific study by Nakahara et al. tested Covid-vaccinated people to see if they have “silent” changes in heart muscle function that standard radiology tests could detect. The study shows very unsettling results.

Scientists measured myocardial 18Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake. F-FDG has molecular similarity to glucose. However, 18F-FDG does not metabolise like glucose. Therefore, PET scans could detect it, and its presence shows the heart muscle’s abnormally high demand for glucose, indicative of abnormal cardiac function. More about it here.
Conclusions: Focal myocardial 18F-FDG uptake seen on oncologic PET/CT indicates a significantly increased risk for multiple myocardial abnormalities.
Indeed, this is what the Nakahara study finds (emphasis added, here and below):
Results
The study included 303 nonvaccinated patients (mean age, 52.9 years; 157 females) and 700 vaccinated patients (mean age, 56.8 years; 344 females). Vaccinated patients had overall higher myocardial FDG uptake compared to nonvaccinated patients (median SUVmax, 4.8 vs median SUVmax, 3.3 ; P < .0001). Myocardial SUVmax was higher in vaccinated patients regardless of sex (median range, 4.7-4.9 ) or patient age (median range, 4.7-5.6) compared to corresponding nonvaccinated groups (sex median range, 3.2-3.9; age median range, 3.3-3.3; P range, <.001-.015). Furthermore, increased myocardial FDG uptake was observed in patients imaged 1-30, 31-60, 61-120, and 121-180 days after their second vaccination (median SUVmax range, 4.6-5.1) and increased ipsilateral axillary uptake was observed in patients imaged 1-30, 31-60, 61-120 days after their second vaccination (median SUVmax range, 1.5-2.0) compared to the nonvaccinated patients (P range, <.001-<.001).
This was not supposed to happen! The Covid vaccine is not supposed to affect the heart in any way. It was promised to ‘stay in the arm’.
The explosive findings of the study are discussed in the editorial that the Editor of the magazine, Dr. Bluemke, felt obliged to publish.

Dr. Bluemke’s editorial is somewhat apologetic, and he gives faint praise for Covid vaccines.
The development of messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines is a remarkable biotech story. While traditional vaccines took 5-10 years to develop, the COVID-19 vaccines took less than a year. By comparison, the fastest conventional vaccine previously developed was the mumps vaccine, on a timescale of four years.
Dr. Bluemke also does not mince words. He explains that the findings are not due to chance:
The main results: asymptomatic patients vaccinated for COVID-19 before PET had about 40% greater radiotracer activity in the myocardium than unvaccinated individuals. The P value was low, less than .0001. This translates to only one time out of 10,000 that these results would occur by chance.
The editorial states that there is no rational way to ignore and explain away the negative findings of myocardial inflammation by Takahara et al.:
Vaccine manufacturers are aware of the adverse effects of mRNA vaccines. These adverse effects lead to vaccine hesitancy. The study results by Nakahara et al. suggest that mild asymptomatic myocardial inflammation could be more common than we ever expected. This in turn would support a hypothesis of more severe systemic inflammation related to mRNA vaccination in some patients who present with symptoma-c myocarditis.
Dr. Bluemke calls for further research into this:
The investigators understood their first result was only the starting point. They next performed extensive ‘sensitivity analyses’ – i.e., looking at the same data from multiple different directions. What if we account for age differences between groups, and the number of vaccinations? If mRNA vaccinations do cause asymptomatic myocardial inflammation, wouldn’t the effect be more likely shortly after vaccination, rather than six months later? Many of us who had COVID-19 vaccines had flu-like symptoms immediately after vaccination – perhaps those of us with common flu-like reactions would have more myocardial inflammation as well? Could trained readers see the differences visually? Or were the differences seen only after placing regions of interest on the heart that could be accidentally mispositioned? The list goes on. Great researchers are also sceptics – they need to prove the results to themselves.
Was the increase in myocardial inflammation due to a few unlucky patients driving high averages, with most people remaining unaffected?
Unfortunately, that is not the case: all quartiles were affected deleteriously, as this image shows:

Is there a dose-response relationship, providing further proof of causality? Can we see if the higher-dose Moderna vaccine causes more heart problems than the lower-dose Pfizer vaccine?
Recall that studies of other topics, such as pregnancy outcomes, show a 42% greater miscarriage rate and 93% greater infant death rate for Moderna (higher dose vaccine) compared to Pfizer.
What about the Nakahara study we are discussing? It shows a weaker but similar pattern of greater response due to Moderna:

The authors say there is “no difference” between Pfizer and Moderna. However, there is a difference. Pfizer-vaccinated patients’ SUVmax was 4.7, and Moderna-vaccinated patients (Moderna is a greater dose, remember) had a greater SUVmax of 5.1. The difference did not reach statistical significance, likely due to a small sample size.
Does the ill effect go away as time passes? Unfortunately, the scientists’ chart of SUVmax over time does not show complete recovery during 180 days, still above the unvaccinated level:

A test of cardiac function via F-FDG uptake, a standard radiological test, is something that careful scientists conducting Covid vaccine clinical trials could carry on with a few hundred patients. Watchful vaccine safety agencies could demand such tests to be conducted to ensure the general public’s safety. They chose not to do it, and their sponsors (Pfizer and Moderna) made much money selling unproven and untested Covid vaccines.
The vaccines, instead of stopping the pandemic, damaged the heart muscles of millions.
I hope that the vaccinated people will be able to ask for compensation for their damaged hearts.
The reality, sadly, is that the damage will most likely be ignored, and the vaccine billionaires will enjoy their newfound wealth while the hysterical Pfizer-sponsored press will be scaring us with new distractions.

They do damage, full stop. Here’s Guy Hatchard talking about a recent study demonstrating the possibility of integration of the toxic crud into DNA and the implications;
”Transfection involves the insertion of foreign nucleic acids into a cell. What does the stabilisation of this process mean for us? The stable (permanent) integration of genetic material into a host cell chromosome may result in activation of oncogenes (cancer genes) or knockout of tumour suppressor genes. In other words, it can cause cancers.
In an attempt to avoid this happening, genetic material, including that used in mRNA vaccines, has been ‘end-capped’. However, unexpectedly, the study found that “the end modification of linear DNA did not significantly decrease the rate of integration [into human cell lines].”
We have been repeatedly assured that mRNA vaccines could not integrate into the human genome. Our concerns were often described by so-called fact checkers (aka media hacks and disinformation project scaremongers) as conspiracy theories. The study found that not only can this happen, but that it could happen with a frequency of up to 20%, one case in every five.
The outcome of these DNA integration events can only be described as a slowly unfolding train wreck of global proportions. The integration of DNA in this way is heritable—it can be passed to future generations, placing billions of our children’s children and so on in the shadow of genetic illness created by scientists who ignored evidence of harm and pressed ahead to subject the whole world’s population to novel biotech experimentation.”

“They do damage, full stop. Here’s Guy Hatchard talking about a recent study demonstrating the possibility of integration of the toxic crud into DNA and the implications;”
Multiple papers on this now. Not a “possibility” but reality.
Not sure if you’ve seen the latest excellent ‘stack from Arkmedic. He writes about ‘Plasmidgate’ but with a twist. It’s certainly looking less and less likely that ‘Hanlon’s Razor’ applies here. But I always knew it was malice not cock-up. This just confirms it for me;
”But this article is not directly about the discovery of Plasmid DNA in the Pfizer and Moderna jabs (that has been now verified by 6 labs worldwide).
It’s about the special properties of the contents of that DNA and the RNA that is made from it, combined with the RNA that accompanies it (the jabs have the stated RNA in them as well as the stowaway DNA).
You see, it turns out that there are at least 5 different mechanisms for that DNA-RNA-protein combination to take that DNA into the nucleus of your cells. And that wasn’t on the advertising brochure was it?”

In other words millions of people have time-bombs ticking away inside them. If heart failure doesn’t get them the cancers will.
My God.
Aye, that’s about the size of it. As I’ve said before, they want us dead, injured or infertile. Sounds deserving of a Nobel Prize doesn’t it?
Only in Clown World…
I’m interested who you think “they” are??
I know who they are…
Great article. Heart disease is heart disease. Heart damage is heart damage. It is never ‘mild’. And the study used an unstabbinated control group – no issues with those higher IQ people who said nein to poisons from Medical Nazis, criminals, lunatics and liars.
Yes!
I don’t know about IQ. I’ve come out with some pretty low scores, but then I never did like the arbitrary, absurd, unreal nature of desk tests. So boring, you see.
No. What I thought to myself in March 2020 was simply that if it was going to be as deadly dangerous as they said it was going to be, then I would need to up sticks to somewhere very remote. Which could be a very expensive exercise. So I decided to undertake Due Diligence.
The first form of Due Diligence was to look out of the window. No dead people.
The second form of Due Diligence was to check if the numbers of people dying every day (regardless of pathology) were anything above the norm. They weren’t.
Job done. Is that evidence of “High IQ”? I sincerely hope not…
As stewart likes to point out, there’s a difference between intelligence and wisdom.
So which is it? Eternal questions…
Doubtless you have both but you are certainly wise.
Well I suppose it’s nice to have all this detail. But the fact that fit, young, healthy athletes suddenly started dropping dead or being excused from sport for the rest of their lives in far greater numbers than ever before was a kind of giveaway.
And guess what – it didn’t start happening before the jabs.
I read this in the middle of the night. I recalled Vinay Prasad asking about a year ago, ‘What if everybody suffers sub-clinical myocarditis?’.
This should add some fuel for Andrew Bridgen’s parliamentary speech on October 20th.
Just a shout-out while I’m here for the fantastic symposium in Sweden on Saturday (which AB was on a panel at and regular on this site Dr David Bell presented at):
https://childrenshealthdefense.eu/doctors-appeal-symposium-sep-30-2023/
I understand that will broken out into chunks on CHD Europe and UKColumn soon. It’s all worth watching (that was my Saturday!), and there are many familiar names, but particularly interesting and a little different was a money strand and a superb presentation from Prof Richard Werner (of QE and ‘money as debt’ fame) on the history of banking and the road to CBDCs, followed by an equally interesting one by John Titus on the coming US debt crisis). Werner begins at 5:26 in.
I await the outcome of the post mortem on the M53 school bus driver to hear what the “medical issues” were that he suffered at the wheel.
And there will be several claims for damages against him, and in effect the bus company. Their insurer will end up having to shell out for that.
We won’t be told. Privacy, don’cha know.
Did we ever find out what caused the driver of the 4×4 to pile into the school tea- party?
Good question.
If there is an inquest and there is prior suspicion about the fundamental cause of the “medical issue” then it will be held with the press and general public excluded, and with the attendees warned not to speak to anybody about it. Some approved narrative will be created. That is the norm for coroner’s inquests. However, it is quite conceivable that this case has nothing to do with vaccines. We shall never know.
What of the AZ jabs that disappeared completely following bans in various European Countries? What was in them and are they equally dangerous?
Original report says they were excluded, insufficient numbers:
Subjects with unknown vaccination dates or with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (Astra Zeneca) and miscellaneous vaccines were excluded when patients were stratified by time interval or type of vaccine due to the small sample size.
There is one group that remains unaffected – trans activists. They are heartless.

A good heart these days is hard to find indeed
“…so please be gentle with this heart of mine”
One of my all time favourite singles.
Feargal Sharkey – magical voice.
I warned my adult sons about reports of myocarditis coming from Israel long before they were “invited” to be jabbed. My older son, then age 32 isn’t jabbed. My younger one (then age 30) had 2 Pfizer shots against my advice because he wanted to travel, but no boosters. He’s very sporty and I thank God that he has a desk-job AND had returned to live with me temporarily during the Covid lunacy, where his sporting opportunities were extremely limited.
After the jabs he went back to his desk and we were having quiet evenings and limited weekend activities due to the restrictions, so the chances of him suffering an adrenaline-induced heart attack were significantly reduced.
Since he’s slim, very fit and has no known health issues, I just hope and pray the danger period has passed and reduces further every year.
Everything crossed for your son.
Thank you.
The danger never passes – heart damage is permanent.
I haven’t seen this finding, this is very concerning, please can you cite the studies that confirm permanent heart damage caused by Covid vaccines?
ALL heart damage is permanernt.
For what it’s worth, I’m a big believer in the power of the human spirit and the occasonal prayer. The body has quite untapped powers of recuperation. You did your best, your son did what he thought was best – maybe the batches he got were the less harmful ones? .
Pfizer, Moderna etc must pay the compensation. The fraudulent testing and cover-ups invalidate any legal immunities and if necessary just enact retro-active legislation. Neither they nor the medics like Fauci nor the politicians like Johnson, Gove and Hancock should escape justice.
And the regulators who are supposed to protect us.
And the Media that suppressed the truth.
They still are.
The summary states:
“Asymptomatic patients who underwent PET/CT 1-180 days after their second SARS-CoV-2 vaccination showed increased myocardial 18Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on images compared to nonvaccinated patients, but patients imaged >180 days after vaccination did not.”
None of the subjects had clinical myocarditis and the effect disappeared after 180 days, so it seems that the impact was mild and transient, perhaps not that concerning.
And many infections are somewhat mild and transient, thus no need to use potentially hazardous drugs to limit their effects.
More disgusting COVID fear mongering from the BBC this morning, health officials pushing the COVID “vaccine” again against the new variant even though it’s impossible for any vaccine to have been developed to cover a variant that has only just been detected.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-66963982
Also, the article (even though the headline is all COVID) includes information about the flu jab but it’s difficult at first reading to separate the two.
It is interesting that you cannot buy a covid injection privately in the UK. That suggests to me they are banned for most of the population. An acknowledgement by the authorities that they are dangerous?
It suggests that the private sellers can’t afford the insurance.
Are they even licensed? Certified? Or whatever happens in the twilight zone of medical substances. Maybe they cannot be prescribed privately because some process hoop hasn’t been passed.
Yes, you’re probably correct. They’re still on emergency use authorisation and the manufacturers still have their liability shield. Although, if fraud can be proved presumably the shield becomes worthless.
Dr Katalin Kariko and Dr Drew Weissman may find that they have received more of an albatross than a Nobel Prize!
Is the Nobel Prize for Medicine going the same way as the Nobel Prize for Peace, that is, a political gesture, essentially an end-of-year prize for getting the “right” answers, not breaking the school rules and for singing the school anthem in tune?
And the inventors of these heart-damaging DNA altering interventions get awarded the Nobel prize!!!!!!!! Words fail me!!!!
The entire IPCC team that injected Global Warming into the world’s minds also got a Nobel Prize. Medicine has become similarly politicized.
They may be the inventors, but who chose to deploy the vaccine, and was it morally justified? The equivalent question was raised in the recent Oppenheimer movie, notably at the end in the exchange between Oppenheimer and
BidenTruman. There is no easy answer as it all depends on modelling what would have happened if different decisions had been made. Perhaps in another eighty years some Hollywood film producer will make the movie “Kariko” and some yet-to-be-born actors and film professionals will get an Oscar.Come to think of it, perhaps Kariko and Weissman are essentially actors on a world stage. Or puppets.
Perfectly in keeping with the originator of the prize, the inventor of dynamite.
The finding confirms an earlier study (2022) that the vaccines injure the heart of all vaccine recipients.
Even if Bluemke’s assertion of only a mild impact holds true, the absence of any benefit makes any level of risk completely unacceptable.
11,000 excess deaths per month, affecting a large number of the young and not so much the very old? I don’t call that minor, he is using very loose English. Pandemic would suit quite well, it is in every country with any vax rate at all. “Safe and Effective”, at killing people at a much higher rate than even the other pandemic managed.
Why does this comes as no surprise and the heart isn’t the only organ that is damaged by the jabs. On the plus side I’ve just seen an advert for medical negligence specialists, looks like they’ll be busy.
I rather doubt that, the Government has underwritted the vaccine use, and suing the Government is very difficult and extremely expensive, partly because they have the entire tax take to fund litigation and hundreds of tame lawyers.
Don’t worry. Any vaccine-induced heart disease epidemic will be blamed on climate change.
It is already being blamed on waiting lists, which is not the issue, this is diagnosis! Waiting lists for GPOs might produce a tiny skew in the results.
There’s no doubt they do damage
but I am slightly irritated by the fact
that they tested 2.5 times more vaxxed than unvaxxed – wouldn’t that skew the results in favour of heart damage? Don’t get me wrong, these gene therapy experiments are horrific but shouldn’t they have tested roughly equal numbers from each group – or am I missing something?
Dependent on location – admitting to being unjabbed might be an issue.
In statistical terms the group size is irrelevant, as long as both groups are large enough to produce a statistically significant result. Remember it is hard to find the totally unvaxed!
Presumably with the exception of hearts belonging to the unvaccinated?
Wow, this is probably the most damning study of the jabs that I have seen yet, and that really says something!
