India Finds No Vaccine Link to Sudden Deaths

India's Union Health Minister JP Nadda told Parliament that sudden deaths among young adults are more likely due to genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors than COVID-19 vaccination, referencing studies from ICMR, NCDC, and AIIMS which found no increased risk from vaccination. A global study led by Stanford University concluded that COVID-19 vaccines saved millions of lives, but the mortality benefit was largely confined to older adults, with minimal impact on younger populations. In the U.S., Senate hearings have featured medical experts presenting controversial claims of underreported adverse effects, including myocarditis and deaths allegedly linked to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, fueling ongoing medical debate. Despite these concerns, both national and international data indicate that the main health benefits of COVID vaccination were realized among the elderly, and most unexplained deaths in younger adults are attributed to pre-existing health conditions or risk factors.
