Reducing Cardiac Risk After COVID-19 Vaccination

The FLCCC offers some potentially protective interventions that are common sense, safe, and pragmatic.

Many vaccinated people are now wondering whether they have a ticking time bomb inside them, given the stories of unexpected and sudden cardiac arrest that seem to pile up daily.

To address these concerns, Dr. Pierre Kory, Chief Medical Officer of the FLCCC, and Dr. Paul Marik, Chief Scientific Officer, recently updated I-RECOVER: Post Vaccine Syndrome.

To begin, it is critical to understand that not everyone who receives a COVID-19 vaccine will react the same way. Dr. Kory distinguishes three groups:

“There are people who come to my practice who are vaccine-injured,” he explained, “and they present with a constellation of symptoms.” Dr. Kory employs a variety of strategies to assist these patients, depending on their primary complaint and the severity of their symptoms.

A second group of patients has a single complication caused by the vaccine rather than a slew of symptoms. Treatments are also available for these patients, and they are frequently quite effective.

“Then you have people who have been vaccinated and are asymptomatic,” Dr. Kory continues. “They don’t have any acute or chronic symptoms.” These are frequently the people who are most concerned about whether they have a ‘ticking time bomb’.

The four- to six-month window

There is some good news for these people, depending on the date of their last injection. If your last vaccination or booster was more than five or six months ago and you haven’t experienced any negative side effects, you’re probably safe.

“We used to say that most people who are vaccine injured have symptoms within days to weeks,” Dr. Marik explains, “so if you’re past that, we used to say you’ve dodged a bullet and you’re fine.” However, it appears that there are people who are otherwise healthy, have no signs and symptoms of vaccine injury, and die suddenly from an acute cardiac event within this four to six-month window.”

There appear to be two peak periods when vaccination-related deaths appear to occur. “They happen either within a few days, which we think is acute heart inflammation causing myocarditis and then a fatal arrhythmia,” Dr. Kory, the doctor, says. “And then there are those that die around five months later.”

“If you are well after five months out, or a year out, with no symptoms, no problems, I really do want to reassure you that I think you’re okay.”
Drs. Kory and Marik, along with other colleagues, believe the deaths that occur around the five-month peak are caused by massive fibrin clots.

“If you are well after five months out, or a year out, with no symptoms, no problems, I really do want to reassure you that I think you’re okay.”

If you were vaccinated or boosted within the last five months and are now concerned due to new evidence and data showing excess mortality and sudden deaths, FLCCC doctors have made some recommendations based on their understanding of the processes that may be causing the sudden cardiac events. They are cautious, however, because no science or research effort has been put into understanding the causes of vaccine injury because major public health institutions continue to insist that vaccines are safe and effective, with rare and temporary side effects.

“Knowing what we know of the science, of the consequences of these vaccines, and of the time distribution of these major events, we think it’s prudent to be on anti-platelets (aspirin) and fibrinolytics (nattokinase, lumbrokinase) in the hopes that somehow this mitigates or interrupts the development of these life-ending clots at five months out,” Dr. Kory says.

Dr. Marik believes that asymptomatic patients in this time frame after vaccination should be risk stratified, and those with moderate to high risk should begin preventative measures. Unfortunately, there is no data to allow for risk stratification because the risk of sudden death following vaccination has not been widely recognized and thus has not been studied.

In the absence of a risk-based approach, patients may wish to consult with a trusted healthcare provider about the following interventions:

• Daily low-dose aspirin (81 mg)
• Nattokinase (100-200 mg twice daily) (in those with low risk of bleeding)
• Omega-3 fatty acids (2-4 g daily)
• Resveratrol or flavonoid combination supplement
• Diet modulation (Low-carb, high-fat diet, low in omega-6 vegetable oils, avoiding processed foods)

Furthermore, because many deaths appear to occur during physical activity (consider the recent rash of sudden deaths in soccer players), vigorous physical activity (particularly for younger people) should be avoided for at least 3 weeks after vaccination or boosting

“Can we guarantee that this will reduce your risk?” No. Do we believe it will save your life? “No,” Dr. Kory says. “But these are potential protective interventions that are common sense, safe, pragmatic things you can do in the hopes of preventing such life-threatening events.”
