‘No relationship between COVID-19 immunizations and unexpected deaths’

• The Union Health Ministry has confirmed no direct link between COVID-19 vaccination and sudden deaths in India.
• Investigations by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) found no significant changes in death patterns.
• Genetic mutations were identified as a likely contributing factor in most unexplained cases.
• The Ministry and NCDC are working together to understand the causes of sudden unexplained deaths, especially among young adults aged 18 to 45 years.
• Two studies, one by the ICMR’s National Institute of Epidemiology and the other by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, have confirmed that COVID-19 vaccination does not increase the risk of sudden deaths in young adults.
• Scientific experts have criticized claims linking COVID-19 vaccination to sudden deaths as “false and misleading” and not supported by scientific consensus.
