(1/2) •COVID19 vaccination didn't increase risk of sudden deaths; it actually reduced the risk.
• Past COVID-19 hospitalization, family history of sudden deaths, binge alcohol drinking, intense unaccustomed activity was associated with higher risk of sudden death. pic.twitter.com/j0ZnLTJvBb

The ICRM said, "In view of anecdotal reports of sudden unexplained deaths in India's apparently healthy young adults, linking to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection or vaccination, we determined the factors associated with such deaths in individuals aged 18-45 years through a multicentric matched case–control study."
Contrary to the notion that the vaccine increased the risk of sudden death, the study said that receiving one dose of the Covid vaccine reduced the odds of unexplained sudden death.
"Receipt of at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine lowered the odds for unexplained sudden death, whereas past COVID-19 hospitalization, family history of sudden death, binge drinking 48 h before death/interview, use of recreational drug/substance and performing vigorous-intensity physical activity 48 h before death/interview were positively associated. Two doses lowered the odds of unexplained sudden death, whereas single dose did not," the study said
