An emerging disease expert has voiced concern over the apparent link between a spate of heart-related symptoms among recipients of vaccines made using the mRNA technique, saying even though the risk is low, its impact on the heart is rather sudden and severe.
Citing the results of a study by German doctors, which were published on Nov 27, Dr Thiravat Hemachudha, chief of the Thai Red Cross's Emerging Infectious Diseases Health Science Centre, said there have been at least 25 cases of sudden death occurring within a week from a patient receiving an mRNA vaccine.
