For years, the public was told that COVID-19 mRNA injection-induced cardiac injury in children was rare. That reassurance formed the backbone of adolescent vaccination campaigns across the world. But what if the underlying safety data were never fully processed or disclosed?
What if hundreds of adverse event reports submitted by frontline clinicians were simply left unanalyzed during the very period when policymakers were declaring the injections safe for teens?
According to Israel’s State Comptroller, approximately 279,300 adverse event reports submitted during the vaccination campaign by Clalit Health Services — Israel’s largest health provider — were never processed by the Ministry of Health.
These reports were not publicly examined during mid-2021, when vaccine eligibility was expanded to adolescents. They were not incorporated into real-time risk–benefit assessments. They were not disclosed to parents deciding whether to vaccinate their children.
Only years later, following repeated Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, the raw dataset — containing 294,877 adverse event reports — was released.
We analyzed that dataset using a deliberately conservative methodology. Our findings have now been peer-reviewed and published in the International Journal of Cardiovascular Research & Innovation, in a study titled, Cardiovascular safety signals in Israeli adolescents following COVID-19 Vaccination: Evidence from an unprocessed FOIA dataset, authored by Yaakov Ophir, Yaffa Shir-Raz, David Shuldman, Nicolas Hulscher (myself), and Peter A. McCullough.

The results reveal a concentrated surge of cardiovascular injury among teenagers that occurred immediately after vaccine authorization was expanded to ages 12–16.
Using strict de-duplication criteria to avoid overcounting, we identified 277 unique cardiovascular injury cases among individuals under 18 years old in 2021. Of those, 98% occurred in teens aged 12–16. Nearly every one of these cases was reported within a narrow six-week window between June 28 and August 8, 2021.
The timing is critical. On June 21, 2021, Israel’s Ministry of Health expanded mRNA vaccine eligibility to adolescents under 16. Within days, cardiovascular injury reports began to pile up. The clustering is unmistakable.
The types of events recorded were not trivial. Within the COVID-specific follow-up category, 646 reports were coded as “Acute Cardiovascular Injury.” Notably, the original Hebrew term used in the reporting system translates literally to “Acute Myocardial Infarction.” That is the scientific name for a heart attack. Additional reports included myocarditis, pericarditis, stroke, and thromboembolic events.
To contextualize the scale, we applied conservative population assumptions. Clalit covers approximately 51.6% of Israel’s population. Based on national vaccination dashboard data, about 63.5% of adolescents aged 12–15 received at least one dose during the study period. This yields an estimated vaccinated adolescent population of approximately 254,347 individuals within the dataset’s coverage.
Even under highly conservative assumptions — assuming all vaccinated adolescents received their doses within the same six-week window and that reporting capture was complete — the observed clustering corresponds to a minimum estimated risk of roughly 1 cardiovascular event per 939 vaccinated adolescents.
That figure stands in stark contrast to known background rates of acute myocardial infarction in adolescents, which are measured in single digits per million person-years in U.S. data. Even without annualizing the rate, the difference is substantial.
Equally important is how these findings diverge from the narrative that dominated the early literature. In 2021, published studies largely characterized vaccine-associated myocarditis as a rare complication, predominantly affecting adolescent males, typically after the second dose, and occurring within a narrow post-vaccination window of several days.
The FOIA dataset tells a different story. In our analysis, cardiovascular events were nearly evenly distributed between girls (145 cases) and boys (132 cases). Events occurred after the first dose, within 21 days of the second dose, and more than 21 days following the second dose. The risk pattern appears broader, more heterogeneous, and less confined than initially portrayed.
Following identification of this clustering, we contacted Clalit Health Services to verify whether the number of adolescents reported with “acute myocardial infarction” differed from our findings or whether reporting errors had been identified.
The response we received was stark: “The data do not exist.”
Yet the reports clearly existed. They were submitted by healthcare professionals, entered into the national reporting system, and archived — but not processed during the critical period when adolescent vaccination policy was being determined.
In conclusion, the newly disclosed FOIA data from Israel — now published in peer-reviewed form — document a major cardiovascular injury surge in teenagers that was neither processed nor publicly communicated at the time it occurred.
Summary
- In Israel, approximately 279,300 adverse event reports were never processed during the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
- Newly released Israeli FOIA data revealed 277 unique cardiovascular injury cases in minors using conservative de-duplication methods.
- 98% of cases occurred in Israeli adolescents aged 12–16 within a narrow six-week window following eligibility expansion in June 2021.
- Hundreds of entries were coded in Israel’s national reporting system as “Acute Cardiovascular Injury,” a category that in the original Hebrew terminology corresponds to acute myocardial infarction. When we contacted Clalit Health Services to clarify these adolescent entries, we were told that “the data do not exist.”
- Cardiovascular events in Israeli teens were distributed across both sexes and across doses — not limited to the narrow “rare male, second-dose” profile emphasized in the literature and by public health agencies.
-
The reports existed within Israel’s national surveillance system — but were not processed or publicly analyzed during the critical 2021 policy window.

The Worldwide Corona Crisis, Global Coup d’Etat Against Humanity
by Michel Chossudovsky
Michel Chossudovsky reviews in detail how this insidious project “destroys people’s lives”. He provides a comprehensive analysis of everything you need to know about the “pandemic” — from the medical dimensions to the economic and social repercussions, political underpinnings, and mental and psychological impacts.
“My objective as an author is to inform people worldwide and refute the official narrative which has been used as a justification to destabilize the economic and social fabric of entire countries, followed by the imposition of the “deadly” COVID-19 “vaccine”. This crisis affects humanity in its entirety: almost 8 billion people. We stand in solidarity with our fellow human beings and our children worldwide. Truth is a powerful instrument.”
Reviews
This is an in-depth resource of great interest if it is the wider perspective you are motivated to understand a little better, the author is very knowledgeable about geopolitics and this comes out in the way Covid is contextualized. —Dr. Mike Yeadon
In this war against humanity in which we find ourselves, in this singular, irregular and massive assault against liberty and the goodness of people, Chossudovsky’s book is a rock upon which to sustain our fight. –Dr. Emanuel Garcia
In fifteen concise science-based chapters, Michel traces the false covid pandemic, explaining how a PCR test, producing up to 97% proven false positives, combined with a relentless 24/7 fear campaign, was able to create a worldwide panic-laden “plandemic”; that this plandemic would never have been possible without the infamous DNA-modifying Polymerase Chain Reaction test – which to this day is being pushed on a majority of innocent people who have no clue. His conclusions are evidenced by renown scientists. —Peter Koenig
Professor Chossudovsky exposes the truth that “there is no causal relationship between the virus and economic variables.” In other words, it was not COVID-19 but, rather, the deliberate implementation of the illogical, scientifically baseless lockdowns that caused the shutdown of the global economy. –David Skripac
A reading of Chossudovsky’s book provides a comprehensive lesson in how there is a global coup d’état under way called “The Great Reset” that if not resisted and defeated by freedom loving people everywhere will result in a dystopian future not yet imagined. Pass on this free gift from Professor Chossudovsky before it’s too late. You will not find so much valuable information and analysis in one place. –Edward Curtin
