New Delhi, July 03, 2025 (ANI): On Covid-19 vaccines and sudden deaths, Niti Aayog Member (Health) Dr VK Paul said, "Covid vaccines were tested after systematic laboratory studies, animal toxicity studies and clinical studies and they fulfill scientific and all regulatory and benchmark criteria. The notion of sudden deaths linked to the vaccines has been making rounds and to address it systematically, a study was commissioned by the ICMR... published in 2023 and conducted in 47 hospital sites... More than 700 young individuals who suffered sudden deaths were included... What emerged was that Covid vaccine was actually protective against sudden deaths, decreasing its risk... What was responsible for sudden death was - if the individual had a genetic tendency due to family history of heart ailments, if one had suffered more severe Covid-19 illness that required hospitalisation, smoking, and those who had consumed excess alcohol... Let's not be prey to unfounded notions."
