Karl Stefanovic is right to worry about mRNA heart attacks: it's not just for teens
Doctor Nick Coatsworth insisted the injections are safe, but where is the investigation into the soaring rate of all-cause mortality, comparing unvaxxed and vaxxed groups?

Post-mortems uncover smoking gun of how mRNA injections cause heart attacks
Pfizer and Moderna mRNA jabs carry 1-in-800 risk of serious side effects
Healthy under-70s only ever had a 0.07 percent risk of death from covid
Australia has recommended more mRNA injections but high-profile Nine News journalist Karl Stefanovic has broken corporate ranks to say he’s over it.
The Today Show host told media doctor Nick Coatsworth that he’s already had covid a couple of times and is worried about complications.
“'I have seen all those reports on the internet about fit and healthy people just dropping down with heart issues and it's still not obviously established yet whether or not the vaccine causes some of the heart issues,” he said.
Media doctor Nick Coatsworth told Stefanovic that it was only teenagers who had to worry about heart problems and that large numbers of people weren’t dying from the covid vaccines because the TGA is doing a great job.
But he is wrong about that, as a definitive German autopsy study recently found.
mRNA VACCINE HEART DAMAGE IS NOT JUST FOR TEENAGERS
A study from Germany has found the smoking gun: how mRNA covid injections are causing sudden heart attacks in previously healthy middle-aged people.
The study found mRNA victims after they died, by autopsy. An autopsy study is definitive. Without an autopsy, nobody, for example Dr Nick Coatsworth, would have known or reported that these people died from the mRNA products.
A team of Heidelberg University Hospital pathologists studied the heart muscles of 35 people who died unexpectedly at home within 20 days of injecting the mRNA product.
They found that five of them were killed by vaccine-induced myocardial inflammation.
All five died within seven days of the mRNA injection.
Three of the dead were women aged 50, 62 and 75 and two were men aged 46 and 55.
This was surprising as mRNA-inflammation of the heart had previously been seen in teenage boys. Perhaps because widespread autopsy studies such as the German study were not being done in Western countries.
Four of the dead were injected with the Pfizer mRNA product and one with Moderna.
During the cardiac autopsies, researchers inspected heart tissue under the microscope and found lymphocytic infiltration of the myocardium.
The myocardium is the muscle that contracts to cause the heart to beat.
Lymphocytic cells are part of the immune system. They had invaded the myocardium at small points (foci) where they caused small amounts of inflammation.
‘MILD’ MYOCARDITIS KILLS BY SHORT-CIRCUITING THE HEART
Although the inflammation was mild and small, it was enough to short-circuit the electrical signalling that causes the myocardium to contract, UK medical expert Dr John Campbell said in his video summary of the research findings.
The mechanism of death was thus arrhythmic failure – a loss of the rhythm of the heart beat, whether by complete stop (cardiac arrest) or ventricular fibrillation (where the heart just flutters but doesn’t pump blood).
It appears that the mechanism was unique.
“During the last 20 years of autopsy service at Heidelberg University Hospital we did not observe comparable myocardial inflammatory infiltration. This was validated by histological re-evaluation of age- and sex-matched cohorts from three independent periods, which did not reveal a single case showing a comparable cardiac pathology,” the authors wrote.
The peer-reviewed paper, Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination, was published in Clinical Research in Cardiology, November 2022.
The significance of this study is large.
Previously studies had found a high incidence of myocarditis in teenaged boys that was so mild as to be subclinical.
But these cardiac autopsies show that even mild vaccine-induced myocarditis can be deadly by leading to lethal heart arrhythmias.
THAI STUDY FINDS mRNA HEART DAMAGE IN 2.3% OF TEENS
A Thai hospital study of 301 teenagers where blood samples were taken before and after the second Pfizer shot found that 2.3 percent of them had elevated cardiac biomarkers of heart cell damage in the blood after the mRNA injection.
Only one of the teens was diagnosed with myopericarditis after vaccination.
Yet the biomarkers do not lie – small amounts of heart cell damage and inflammation were present. They were too small for a clinical diagnosis, yet this German study highlights the deadly risk that even small amounts of inflammation in the myocardium can pose.
The peer-reviewed study Cardiovascular Manifestation of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine in Adolescents, was published in the respected journal Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease in August 2022.
Eminent cardiologists have called for the mRNA products to be suspended because they are considered unsafe, including US cardiologist Robert McCullough who is expected to visit Sydney in February 2023, on a speaking tour organised by NSW independent politician Craig Kelly. That is, if he isn’t barred entry.
When previously asked why Australia’s vaccine advisory board ATAGI continues to recommend the mRNA product to young people despite the heart risk, the federal Department of Health and Aged Care said the risk of heart damage from covid is higher than that from the mRNA product.
COVID DOES NOT CAUSE MYOCARDITIS IN ADULTS, STUDY FINDS
However, large-scale high quality research that isolated the effect of covid infection on myocarditis and pericarditis rates in adults found that it had no impact at all.
The peer-reviewed retrospective study The Incidence of Myocarditis and Pericarditis in Post COVID-19 Unvaccinated Patients-A Large Population-Based Study, published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, April 2022, compared rates of hospital-diagnosed myocarditis and pericarditis in those who tested positive for covid with those who never had it.
None of them were vaccinated because the study reviewed cases only from before the mRNA products were rolled out.
This removed the vaccine confound, ensuring a true picture of what impact covid alone has on myocarditis rates could be seen.
The study was large: it compared 196,992 adults who had suffered covid-19 with age- and sex-matched adults from a non-covid cohort of 590,976 adults.
It found no statistical difference between the groups, meaning covid in the pre-vaccine era did not increase myocarditis and pericarditis rates in adults.
“We did not observe an increased incidence of neither pericarditis nor myocarditis in adult patients recovering from COVID-19 infection,” the authors wrote.
DEPARTMENT HITS BACK WITH STUDY THAT DOESN’T PROVE ITS CLAIM
By contrast, a research letter published in the Medical Journal of Australia, cited by the Department of Health and Aged Care to back its position that covid causes more myocarditis than the mRNA products, did not include any unvaccinated control group at all.
It only compared myocarditis among teens who already had either one or two vaccinations.
The research letter, Myocarditis after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in Australia, April 2022, referenced 2 studies to state that youths had more complicated side effects such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome and myocarditis from covid than from the “mild, self-resolving” inflammation from the vaccine.
These two studies were:
1) Pediatric patients hospitalized with myocarditis: a multi-institutional analysis, published in Pediatric Cardiology, February 2010 – published before covid, and
2) Characteristics and Outcomes of US Children and Adolescents With Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) Compared With Severe Acute COVID-19, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, March 2021.
This second study reviewed 1116 patients under age 21, hospitalised in the US between March and October 2020 when the more severe ancestral Wuhan strain, now extinct for more than a year, was widely circulating there.
The study was not comparing mRNA to covid, as the vaccine had not yet been released.
Instead it compared multisystem inflammatory syndrome to severe covid in children. More than 62 percent of the children with severe covid in the study also suffered other underlying medical conditions, so it cannot be known what put them in the hospital – covid or the other problems.
It has since been recognised that children have the mildest reaction to covid of any demographic due to their excellent immune systems and cardiovascular health.
The risk of an under-18 dying from covid is 2 in a million – about the same as dying from a snapped bungee cord, according to the peer-reviewed study Deaths in children and young people in England after SARS-CoV-2 infection during the first pandemic year, published in Nature, November 2021. And that number includes the tiny proportion who died with multisystem inflammatory syndrome which had been rarely associated with covid.
Letters From Australia asked the Department to clarify its response in consideration of the shortcomings of its cited evidence, but was instead given a pointer to the pharmaceutical-industry-funded Therapeutic Goods Administration’s November safety report, which still contains the disputed figure of 2 cases of myocarditis per 100,000 Pfizer vaccinees.
Letters From Australia separately asked the TGA whether they would suspend the vaccine in light of new information.
In response, the TGA said they believe the benefits of the mRNA injections “far outweigh” the potential risks with serious side-effects being “very rare”.
However, an independent re-analysis of Pfizer and Moderna’s own data, published in the peer-reviewed journal Vaccine in September 2022 found the risk of serious side effects is 1-in-800. Not very rare.
A peer-reviewed study by Stanford epidemiology professor John Ioannidis analysing data across 29 countries found the infection fatality rate was only 0.07 per cent for anyone under 70 years old, which is most of the population. And that was the original, more-deadly Wuhan ancestral strain, not the mild Omicron-based variants we now have.
So according to these figures, the risk-benefit analysis has changed for any healthy person under 70.
The TGA also criticised the Israeli study that showed no post-covid myocarditis for having low numbers of actual covid cases, using hospital record codes as a proxy for clinical diagnosis and for not including covid patients during the acute phase of the illness “when myocarditis is likely to occur”.
They went on to dismiss the Thai hospital study’s clinical relevance for having an “uncontrolled study design”, which is curious as the peer-reviewed study clearly states in detail a well-controlled design with definitions, diagnostic criteria and data collected from participants (including demographic data, lab findings and clinical presentation), all recorded in a pre-defined case record form.
The TGA did not mention the laboratory findings of increased heart-damage biomarkers in the blood of 2.3 percent of Thai study participants, instead saying only one “mild case of myopericarditis” was confirmed. This misses the point that the German study raises - that mRNA damage too small to be diagnosed (but clearly there) has caused death.
The TGA said the German autopsy study was too small and had the bias of endpoint analysis. However, despite the small numbers, this study indisputably found a problem with huge implications that demands further investigation.
EXCESS DEATH FIGURES SOAR
The excess mortality figures in Australia ranged at more than 15 percent above the baseline average according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ December figures.
Of the 19,986 excess deaths 2022 (to September 30), only 8160 were attributed directly to covid. That means 11,826 of these excess deaths were not caused by covid.
The vaccines will not be responsible for all these deaths however they must be considered a possible contributing cause using the widely-accepted Bradford Hill criteria.
They must be investigated properly and independently of industry to determine whether or to what extent the mRNA products may be harming the population.
Letters From Australia asked the Department of Health and Aged Care on January 11, January 15 and February 3 whether they were undertaking any large-scale age- and sex-matched independent studies to compare all-cause mortality in mRNA injected and uninjected groups.
The Department ignored the requests, later saying they would not bother to answer any questions because Substack is “not a recognised news organisation”.
It was difficult for Stefanovic to break ranks as a Nine journalist - Nine Newspapers in particular have been among the worst echo chambers for repeating and amplifying the unfounded claims of Big Pharma and the government.
His cardiac fears are well-founded.
The response from Nick Coatsworth is one that the good doctor himself cannot be sure of. He cannot know if the shots are “safe” as claimed because there has not been a definitive investigation into the mRNA products, thoroughly interrogating their role in the increased all-cause mortality figures, to answer the question.
Doctors in Australia have been reluctant to investigate and report possible vaccine injuries or to link them to deaths after having their licenses threatened. As a result, the official injury and death statistics are likely to be wrong.
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency and the Medical Board of Australia issued a joint directive in March last year threatening punishment for any health worker who voiced concerns about the vaccine including on social media.
Without an autopsy study those German deaths would not have been linked to the vaccine - and the mRNA products have shown many mechanisms of damage from auto-immune issues to neurological problems and injuries such as that shown by Tasmanian teenager Faith Ranson (video above).

Firstly I am proud that I held the line and would never allow myself to be a human Guinea pig to corrupt corporate interests and there government stooges.
I moved out of the city recently as much to get away from the ignorant and indifferent people that allowed and even welcomed the tyranny that unfolded over the last several years.
For me the crux of the problem is spiritual or more actually the lack of spirituality in the majority. How else can people allow external profit and control driven establishments dictate their thinking and beliefs to the extent they do not value their liberties or even the sovereignty of their bodies.
I’m very glad there are a few like yourself Alison driven by an inner force to call out the truth in the face of evil for no particular honor, reward nor acknowledgment.
You are an inspiration when so many have given up or no longer know how to to care for others anymore.
