According to a leaked report from the Israeli Health Ministry obtained by The Times of Israel, there have been 62 reported cases of myocarditis in patients who had the Pfizer vaccine. That puts the possible risk of getting myocarditis from the Pfizer vaccine, if there is indeed a link, at 0.001%.
Most cases happened in men under the age of 30, and two people have died, including a 22-year-old woman and 35-year-old man. Both reportedly were in good health before getting vaccinated.
In the United States, the Pentagon said it was examining 14 cases of a linkage among troops. And a Washington-based reporter wrote on Twitter of his experience with myocarditis shortly after receiving the Pfizer vaccine.
"More than 260 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine have been administered globally," With a vast number of people vaccinated to date, the benefit risk profile of our vaccine remains positive."
