Torsades de Pointes and Cardiac Arrest after COVID-19 Vaccination
Torsades de Pointes and Cardiac Arrest after COVID-19 Vaccination
Primary Arrhythmia without Myocarditis is a Demonstrated Mechanism of Sudden Death
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
Torsades de pointes (French for “twisting of the points”) is one of several types of life-threatening heart rhythm disturbances than can cause cardiac arrest. When case reports capture this rhythm in a fortunate survivor of a cardiac arrest it is noteworthy particularly as our CDC VAERS system indicates 16,155 Americans through December 23, 2022, have died within a few days of taking of the COVID-19 vaccines. Drs Abrich and Olshansky reported a 65-year old woman with hypertension, a left bundle branch block with a prolonged QT interval, and a mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction after at two dose series of the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. She came to specialty evaluation because she completely passed out while sitting. An implantable loop recorder was inserted in the chest to monitor the rhythm and then five months later she took a booster and 12 hours later went into full blown cardiac arrest. She required prolonged CPR and 14 shocks of the heart to be revived. There was no evidence of myocarditis. She had a rocky hospital course and was discharged to an inpatient rehabilitation facility.
The lessons learned from this case are: 1) syncope (passing out) after vaccination can indicate a serious arrhythmia, 2) when there are abnormal heart tests (ECG and echocardiography) after two shots, boosters are ill-advised and can be fatal, 3) COVID-19 vaccination can cause a primary cardiac arrest without myocarditis and may explain cases of “died suddenly” when the autopsy does not reveal and obvious known vaccine injury (myocarditis, blood clot, VITT, etc).

OpenVAERS: VAERS COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports, Accessed January 5, 2023
Historically, vaccine adverse effects are under-reported to VAERS - by factors of 20-100 to 1. A Harvard Univ study concluded only 1% of adverse effects are reported. Given the extreme censorship and threats surrounding covid "vaccine" reporting, we can be sure that under-reporting for these products is on the high side. I believe we can safely multiply reported effects by 100 to get a more accurate picture.
This raises a very interesting point and raises a simple question that only the patient or someone close to Damar can answer- Did Damar have any other issue going on like a URI? Did he take any OTC meds that prolonged his QT interval and then received a "mandated booster" PRIOR to the playoff's! Did this JAB push him over the top and set him up for Sudden Death Arrythmia! Only the patient will be able to answer this question when GOD WILLINGLY HE SURVIVES WITH NORMAL MENTAL FUNCTION and will be able to give us more insight! Keep up your great efforts Peter!
