Popular Rocker Claims COVID Vaccine ‘Destroyed My Heart’: ‘I Was Dead’
Mat Sinner, the bassist for the popular power metal group Primal Fear, claimed in a recent interview that he had a severe adverse reaction to a COVID-19 vaccine in 2021.
Blabbermouth reported that due to Sinner’s health issues, the band was forced to cancel of its shows in 2021 and 2022.
“Well, it will never be like it was before,” Sinner, whose real name is Matthias Lasch, said when asked about his health in an interview with Spain’s Stairway to Rock. “I was having a very evil heart attack after the COVID injection.
So, the COVID injection destroyed my heart. So, I was in a hospital for one year. And in the first month, I was in a coma. Then I was paralyzed. I couldn’t move my hands, my feet. I was three times reanimated. I was dead. They brought me back to life. And very, very slowly, some parts came back.”
Aseem Malhotra: ‘the Harm Caused by the Covid Vaccine Has Been Catastrophic’
Dr. Aseem Malhotra is no stranger to controversy. A decade ago, as an NHS clinician, he founded Action on Sugar, a campaign group credited with forcing Public Health England to push for lower levels of sugar in popular products. At the time, he was branded an agent of the “nanny state”, removing packaging that appealed to children and forcing sugar warnings on the public.
The cardiologist, 47, has also been a vocal critic of the widespread use of statins — one of the most prescribed medications on the NHS — as a preventative drug to reduce the risk of heart disease.
But it is since the outbreak of COVID-19 that he has risen to serious public prominence, first as a proponent of the U.K. government’s vaccine rollout, then as one of its fiercest critics. He has repeatedly claimed that the mRNA vaccines developed during the pandemic did “more harm than good” and called for them to be suspended.
14 Million Children Remain Unprotected as Global Vaccines Fall, Health Officials Say
More than 14 million children did not receive a single vaccine last year — about the same number as the year before — according to U.N. health officials. Nine countries accounted for more than half of those unprotected children.
In their annual estimate of global vaccine coverage, released Tuesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF said about 89% of children under one year old got a first dose of the diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough vaccine in 2024, the same as in 2023. About 85% completed the three-dose series, up from 84% in 2023.
Officials acknowledged, however, that the collapse of international aid this year will make it more difficult to reduce the number of unprotected children. In January, U.S. President Trump withdrew the country from the WHO, froze nearly all humanitarian aid and later moved to close the U.S. AID Agency. And last month, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said it was pulling the billions of dollars the U.S. had previously pledged to the vaccines alliance Gavi, saying the group had “ignored the science.”
Teenager Bitten by a Stray Dog Dies of Rabies Despite Taking Vaccine; How Does That Happen?
In a disturbing case in Madhya Pradesh, a 14-year-old school-going boy, bitten by a stray dog, died of rabies despite taking a vaccine and undergoing medical treatment after the attack. According to doctors, the teenager from Rewa, identified as Nitin, was returning home from school when the incident took place.
His family members rushed him to the hospital, where he was given an anti-rabies injection to save him from the deadly virus. “His body was shivering; he was behaving like a dog,” the NDTV reported, quoting a close relative of the young victim.
Despite getting first aid and treatment, the family has questions over the boy’s tragic demise. Rewa Collector Pratibha Pal has ordered an inquiry into the incident.
EMA: Varicella Vaccines to Warn of Rare Encephalitis Risk
The European Medicines Agency’s Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee has recommended an update to the product information of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccines Varilrix and Varivax to describe the severity of the risk for encephalitis.
This follows a safety review prompted by a fatal case of encephalitis in a child in Poland after receiving Varilrix, a live-attenuated varicella vaccine. The amended product information will provide more specific detail on encephalitis as a known adverse reaction to live-attenuated varicella vaccines, including acknowledgment of rare cases with fatal outcomes.
Patients and caregivers should be advised to seek immediate medical attention if symptoms suggestive of brain inflammation — such as persistent headache, altered mental status, or seizures — occur following vaccination.
Experts Reject Claims Linking MMR Vaccine to “Fetal Debris” and DNA Risk
In response to recent claims by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. alleging that the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine contains “fetal debris” and “DNA particles,” multiple infectious disease experts have pushed back, asserting that the allegations misrepresent the science and manufacturing process of the vaccine.
In a report published by MedPage Today, physicians including Dr. Adam Ratner (NYU Langone), Dr. Amy Edwards (University Hospitals Cleveland), and Dr. Paul Offit (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia) called the statements misleading and scientifically implausible.
A Troubled Sun Pharma Plant Fails yet Another FDA Inspection
A Sun Pharmaceutical plant in India that has been repeatedly cited by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for serious quality control issues failed another inspection last month over concerns the company was not doing enough to prevent medicines from becoming contaminated.
The problems cited at the facility, which is located in Halol, involved a raft of practices that raised questions about the ability of the world’s largest generic drugmaker to properly ensure sterility, environmental conditions, and cleanliness, according to a 19-page report issued by the FDA on its website. The agency inspected the Sun plant for two weeks during the first half of last month.
The findings indicate ongoing difficulties at the plant, which is a key location for the company and has previously ran afoul of FDA inspectors during several inspections dating back nearly a decade. The subsequent reports filed by agency staffers included numerous concerns about the potential for contamination and failures to follow proper procedures.
