Sample size? EU population is 50x that of Israel. Ethnicity may have something to do with it also.Hmm... So Israel back then reported it as one heart-issue per 50,000 doses for Pfizer.
EMA now found it to be less than 1 per 500,000 for both Pfizer and Moderna and combining two different heart issues https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/co...s-pericarditis https://www.bbc.com/news/health-57781637 and only deadly in a small percentage of the cases (<5% - or less than one in 20 million vaccinated) - and among elderly and/or ppl with existing heart issues (who face a high risk of dying in covid), whereas most of the reported cases were in younger men.
One in 50,000 or one in 500,000 seems like a large difference - there might be something else explaining it - or it could simply be that 90% of the cases were so mild that they weren't detected and reported to EMA; but it seems unlikely that the deaths are missed. Or in summary, just a minor issue and the vaccine is safer than risking covid.
(They also looked at rare side-effects for Janssen (or J&J) vaccine: capillary leak and another for the AstraZeneca - GBS.)
