A survey conducted through the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has decisively addressed considerations about a possible link between COVID-19 vaccination and sudden deaths among young adults in India. The comprehensive study, titled “Factors Related to Sudden Unexplained Deaths Among Older Adults Aged 18 to 45 Years in India, A Multicenter Matched Case Study,” covered 47 tertiary care hospitals and included 729 cases and 2,916 Americans in the group.
Contrary to widespread speculation, the study shows that Covid-19 vaccines are not linked to sudden deaths. Instead, post-Covid hospitalization, family history of sudden deaths, excessive alcohol consumption, and strenuous activity emerged as the most likely contributing factors. , the deaths investigated occurred within 24 hours of hospitalization and were not directly attributable to cardiac arrest.

Commenting on the findings, Dr Manoj Murhekar, director of the ICMR’s National Institute of Epidemiology and a correspondent for the study, said: “In assessing the data, COVID vaccination was not found to contribute to sudden deaths; or was not found to contribute at all to sudden deaths. “. , vaccination would possibly have prevented deaths. It argues for a more nuanced understanding, taking into account other contributing factors highlighted in the paper.
