COVID-19 vaccine was detected in patients who died within a month of vaccination, according to a new study.
Samples from the hearts of three patients, all of whom died within 30 days of a Pfizer shot, tested positive for messenger ribonucleic acid.
Eight bilateral axillary lymph node samples, from people who died within 30 days of a Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, also tested positive.
The companies' shots utilize mRNA. The research shows "The vaccine can persist for up to 30 days, including in the heart," Dr. James Stone, with the departments of pathology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, told The Epoch Times via email.
In testing of heart and bilateral axillary lymph node tissues from other vaccinated people who died, no vaccine was detected.
No vaccine was detected in the liver, spleen, or mediastinal lymph nodes-vaccine was detected in the liver and spleen in preclinical rodent studies before-nor was any detected in tissues from the unvaccinated patients.
The people who had mRNA detected in the heart did not have myocarditis, though they did have detectable heart injuries, researchers found.
"There is no indication as yet that the vaccine in the heart is causing any problems in these patients; neither the causes of death nor the causes of the myocardial injury were linked to the vaccines in that study," said Dr. Stone, one of the authors of the paper.
"The vaccine should not have been there. There was evidence of heart damage. Those three people are now dead," Dr. Craig told The Epoch Times in a message.
Researchers excluded tissues from some dead people, including from patients who had no clear history of vaccination or non-vaccination and those who had a documented prior COVID-19 infection.
The researchers wanted to test the tissue for vaccine in light of research that has found both spike protein and mRNA persisting in axillary lymph nodes and blood for weeks or even months after vaccination.
Vaccine was not detected in any of the unvaccinated people.
