No evidence vaccines can directly cause heart attacks: Singapore health authority

SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): There has been no uptick in heart attacks or strokes among vaccinated people, and no evidence that the Covid-19 vaccines used here can directly cause them, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) said on Thursday (May 6).

"A greater frequency of heart attacks and strokes has not been observed in vaccinated persons locally and to date, there is also no evidence that the vaccines can directly cause these events," HSA said in its first update on the safety of the mRNA vaccines used here.
