Hello, everyone.
Dr. James Marcum today with another biblical prescription for life.
I'd like to talk to you today about a study that's been published
in the Journal of the American Medical Association Cardiology.
It just came out in April of 2022,
and it specifically looked at the SARS-CoV-2
vaccination and myocarditis and pericarditis
in a Nordic study, and they looked at 23 million people.
So this is a lot of people that this study looked at.
But before we do that, as our customers, we want to point you to the big picture.
Let's see how God talks to each one of us today through his words.
Let's go to Second Chronicles seven versus 14.
And that verse says, If my people.
Who are called by my name.
We'll humble themselves and pray.
And seek my face.
And turned from the wicked ways.
Then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins
and heal their land.
I want you to hold that with you today
as we move forward, that word from God.
And I also want us to start praying with each other.
So let's pray wherever you might be, Father.
Please bless and guide
our thoughts on this subject today.
And we ask for your wisdom,
your grace, and your healing.
And we thank and praise you always, as we call upon your name.
Amen.
That was very important.
Is to turn to the word and pray.
Today's topic, it's a great study.
It's a Nordic study.
And I got the details right here.
And why I think this study was so important
is that it's looked at some of the implications
of having the vaccines in different age groups.
And they looked at actually 23 million
residents across four Nordic countries.
That's Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden.
And they looked at men and women,
young and old.
And they were able to make some conclusions and the studies available.
If you want to read it, but I'm going to put my overall gestalt on it,
what it means and its implications to you.
This is in the results section.
They looked at 23 million Nordic residents
and they looked at female and male,
and they specifically found 1077 incident myocarditis, events
and 1149 incidences of pericarditis were identified
within their 28 day period
for males 12 years or older combined.
Who received these vaccines?
So these were the Pfizer that they used and the Moderna.
And these are messenger RNA, which are spike protein type vaccines.
Now, remember, myocarditis,
inflammation of the heart, muscle, pericarditis,
inflammation of the outside, the lining, which is called the pericarditis.
Not only can this cause things like weak muscles
and pericardial effusions, but it can cause dangerous arrhythmias.
So they looked at this study and the conclusions for this,
and this is their conclusions, not mine.
And they said, based on 23 million
people, the results of this large study indicated that both first
and second doses of these Imani vaccines, the Pfizer and Moderna,
were associated with increased risk
of myocarditis and pericarditis.
For individuals receiving the second dose of the same vaccine,
the risk of myocarditis was highest
among males aged 16 to 24 after the second dose.
The findings
are compatible with between four and seven excess events in 28 days
per 100,000 vaccinees after the Pfizer
and between nine and 20 excess events
per 100,000 after the Moderna.
Their conclusion?
The risk of this and it definitely is a risk now on these people.
No doubt that it's a risk should be balanced against the benefits
of protecting against severe COVID 19 disease.
So that was the bottom line.
So this study sort of backed up the preceding smaller case reports
from Israel, Canada, that showed us that there is an increase episode of marker
itis, especially in younger males after they receive these
IMANI vaccines.
A couple interesting facts
that I wanted to point out to you
compared to the other studies.
Some of the strengths of this study is it looked
at a large population based, a large sample size.
They had nearly complete follow up
and they had independent ascertainment of vaccinations and diagnosis
from nationwide registers with mandatory reporting.
And they did a meta analysis
of the data on all four countries,
and they basically came up with the same conclusions on all of them.
Now, there were some limitations.
One of the limitations, what they defined events
as inpatient hospital admissions with a corresponding
main or secondary discharge diagnosis of myocarditis or pericarditis.
That means these patients had symptoms were sick.
One of the negatives also is they didn't do biopsies on this study
and that sort of the definitive diagnosis on all of these.
They looked at some of the other data.
It was very interesting in looking at that.
These are all available for you.
So how does that apply to you and me today?
Well, a couple things
we can draw from this data is it's very important.
I think if you're a younger person, a younger male,
to look at the risk of benefits of the MMR vaccines.
You want to know that it does cause side effects
and you want to be aware of the side effects?
Of course, having the COVID 19 itself could cause some of these,
but the incidence rates were also associated with these vaccines.
The Moderna was a little higher than the Pfizer because their IMR in
a concentration is greater, more immune, a geologic
response to the body.
So that's one thing we want to keep in mind.
The second thing, the big picture is that everything
that we do is about risk and benefits.
And it's and it makes me wonder when we see all of these people,
young people having sudden deaths from whatever cause.
Well, what could be causing it?
Is there a chance that they could have
myocarditis or pericarditis
that was actually undiagnosed,
that was subclinical, that was so mild
that they didn't pick up on it the person themselves .
But if they would have been tested, it would have showed they had it.
And yet that led to something dangerous, specifically an arrhythmia.
Is this a possibility?
Well, one has to wonder, especially as we see
many mysterious things happening in the world.
I think to sort through this, when something mysterious happens,
we should investigate why.
And be honest to say, well, what?
What happened?
Why did this young person die unexplained, Ali?
So this is the largest study
that I'm aware of thus far, showing that there is definitely
an increased risk of myocarditis, inflammation of the muscle
and pericarditis, especially in the younger cohorts,
16 to 24 males, especially after the second dose,
especially with the Moderna type of vaccination.
So I just wanted to leave that information with you to think about
and remember everything is about risk and benefits.
And in certain age groups there's higher risk of different things
and it needs to be sort of brought together.
And I think you really need to talk
to your doctors about the risk and benefits of anything
we put in your body, because everything has risks.
Everything hopefully has some benefits before we put it into ourselves.
But more than that, I want to talk about something
that's definitely beneficial when we put it into a body,
and that is the Word of God, God speaking to us.
And in our texts today from Sick Chronicles
seven verse 24, If my people
who are called by
my name will humble themselves and I want to be humble.
I don't know everything.
I don't have all the answers.
I need wisdom from God.
You need wisdom from God.
And where do we get that?
Well, we get that from the word.
If they're called by name, will humble themselves and pray.
That's what we did today. Pray to God.
Ask for his help, his guidance, his grace,
his wisdom, the Holy Spirit to lead.
If we will do this and seek my face, that's what we're doing here.
We're seeking biblical prescription.
Seek my voice and turn from the wicked ways.
Then I will hear from heaven.
Forgive their sin, and he'll heal.
Their land, very important biblical prescription.
So I want you to take the time.
We're going to put the links in to read this study.
It's important talking about the risks
and benefits of these substances that we put in our body.
If you like it, give it a thumbs up.
If you have some comments, please leave those.
Share this with your friends and neighbors.
As our ultimate prescription is to show the benefits
of Scripture,
how it can change our bodies, how it can change our minds.
So I want to encourage us to turn.
To the Scriptures.
Pray, seek his face.
So I'm Dr.
James Marcum, and I'll be back soon
with another biblical prescription for life.
