The COVID-19 immunisation did not raise the risk of sudden death, according to a study conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research. The study looked into sudden deaths among healthy people in India between the ages of 18 and 45. Citing the report, Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya advised against engaging in intense physical exercise to lower the risk of heart attacks.

According to a study by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), COVID-19 infections may result in heart attacks that cause unexpected deaths. It further specifies that overexertion should be avoided for at least a year or two by individuals who have experienced a serious case of the virus. A pre-review summary of a study named "Factors associated with sudden deaths among adults aged 18–45 in India" reported the findings.

Studies to evaluate the relationship between vaccines and death

According to Bahl, the first study examined the causes of young people's unexpected deaths to determine whether natural causes or other factors were involved.

After the paper has been peer-reviewed, we will make the results public," he stated.

In this study, individuals who contracted COVID-19 and were hospitalised were monitored for a year by the ICMR team. The information was obtained from 40 hospitals' clinical registries.

Out of 14,000 people who received COVID-19 treatment and returned home, 600 deaths were reported, according to the ICMR.

Due to their old age and comorbidities, several of their deaths were natural. In addition to co-morbidities, we are examining three main factors. if the deceased had received a vaccination before being admitted to the hospital. How bad was the patient's condition, and did he still have COVID-19 symptoms after being released from the hospital? Therefore, Bahl clarified, "We are evaluating the deaths from the perspectives of vaccination, long COVID, and severity of the patient."

If 600 out of 14,000 people perished, we initially checked for vaccination status. How many of these 600 people were vaccinated? Then, we contrast this data with the remaining alive individuals who have received vaccinations," he continued.

Important findings also indicated that young adults in India were not at increased risk of sudden death from COVID-19 vaccinations.

This type of investigation, commonly known as an observational case-control study, set out to determine if vaccination was a risk factor by comparing the number of vaccinated individuals (600) to the control group (14,000).
