Famed cardiologist Dr. Anish Koka has expressed his regret at “regurgitating the party line” on mRNA vaccines being “safe and effective” for young people, vowing he would never behave the same way in a similar situation.
Koka, a cardiologist with degrees from Penn State and Temple University trained at Jefferson Health, said he “certainly saw an increase” in heart conditions at his Philadelphia clinic after mRNA vaccines were rolled out en masse, “…like many of us in the cardiology community did.”
“It’s undeniable,” he stressed.
Koka was especially regretful about his personal role in propagandizing for the vaccines: “Me running around saying it’s ‘safe and effective,’ and giving it to 17-year-olds, given that most of the patients that were in the vaccine studies weren’t 17-years-old — I wasn’t technically correct.”
“I wasn’t correct at all in saying it was safe and effective because there weren’t enough people in that group to say that,” he lamented, emphasizing that he “would not give it to low-risk people again. That was a mistake on my part.”
Koka is particularly concerned by a Thai study that found an alarming number of cardiac injuries among minor teens given the Pfizer vaccine, particularly as the Moderna vaccine “has been shown to have myocarditis rates 3-4x Pfizer.”
“This study tells you if you roll this vaccine out to millions and millions and of 13 to 18-year-olds, you’re going to have a significant number of clinical myocarditis cases,” he warned.
“This is a very cardioactive vaccine.”
