Study: Myocarditis risk 37 times higher for children with COVID-19 than uninfected peers.

The risk of myocarditis for children under 16 years is 37 times higher for those infected with COVID-19 than those who haven’t been infected with the virus, according to a new study.

Authors from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the study provides more evidence that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh a small risk of myocarditis after vaccination.

Researchers analyzed data from more than 900 hospitals and found inpatient visits for myocarditis were 42% higher in 2020 compared to 2019, according to a new Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

Among 36 million patients, about 0.01% had myocarditis between March 2020 and February 2021. The median age of people with myocarditis was 54 years, and 59% were male.

About 42% of patients with myocarditis had a history of COVID-19, mostly within the same month. The team determined the risk of myocarditis to be 0.146% among those with COVID-19 and 0.009% among those not diagnosed with COVID-19.

Across all ages, the risk of myocarditis was almost 16 times higher for people with COVID-19 compared to those who aren’t infected. The myocarditis risk is 37 times higher for infected children under 16 years and seven times higher for infected people ages 16-39 compared to their uninfected peers.

Some of the myocarditis cases seen in children with COVID-19 may be cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome, according to the study.

Authors noted the study could not prove COVID-19 causes myocarditis, but the findings of a link between the two are consistent with several other studies.

In recent months, there has been concern about a small risk of myocarditis after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. A June study showed among males ages 12-29 years — the group with the highest rates of myocarditis after vaccination — there would be an estimated 39 to 47 cases of myocarditis for every million second doses of vaccine. Authors of the new study say their findings support health officials’ assertions that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks.

“These findings underscore the importance of implementing evidence-based COVID-19 prevention strategies, including vaccination, to reduce the public health impact of COVID-19 and its associated complications,” they wrote.

There must be something about that spike protein.

I wonder what the ratio of myocarditis is for the young and vaccinated versus the general population, as well.

Mandated Myocarditis.

If they don’t get it with Covid, will be sure they get it with the vaccine. Science!

“Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the study “

Sure, I believe this, after-all the CDC is not political and would never lie...........

You beat me to it. If it’s from the CDC, I automatically don’t believe it.

This might be their way to cover the vaccines causing the blood clots, after all if you caught covid you are most likely to be pressed to get the vaccine

The Covid virus spike protein likely causes myocarditis when it attaches to heart muscle. The mRNA vax changes your body’s cells to start producing the spike protein. With other vaxes in the pipeline, it’s not clear if they will contain spike protein or just other proteins.

So if you get the vax, your body will produce at least some spike protein forever.
If you get the virus, you are getting spike protein until the virus is out of your system.

Vaccine reactions are usually undercounted by a factor of 100 (per Harvard study, 2011). This article says the risk of myocarditis is much greater from virus than vaccine. Do you trust these numbers?

Not everyone will catch Covid, but everyone who gets the vaccine gets the vaccine.

Covid myocarditis risk x risk of getting Covid = A
Vaccine myocarditis risk x 100% = B

Is A greater than B, or is B greater than A? This is your risk calculation.

If we could believe the VAERS system we would have something to compare. Most studies show no chance of death for anyone under 20.

I'm no Vax fanboi, but it does no good to spread false information. Messenger RNA is not encoded permanently into the cell genome. It is destroyed by the cell, with a half life of minutes to hours.

That’s why so many kids dropped dead or were hospitalized with myocarditis in 2020 before the mass vaxx began….right?

Oh, wait….

Is the myocarditis the vaxx gives you worse than what the virus gives you?

From 2015...

Deaths following vaccination: What does the evidence show?

...Rare cases where a known or plausible theoretical risk of death following vaccination exists include anaphylaxis, vaccine-strain systemic infection after administration of live vaccines to severely immunocompromised persons, intussusception after rotavirus vaccine, Guillain-Barré syndrome after inactivated influenza vaccine, fall-related injuries associated with syncope after vaccination, yellow fever vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease or associated neurologic disease, serious complications from smallpox vaccine including eczema vaccinatum, progressive vaccinia, postvaccinal encephalitis, myocarditis, and dilated cardiomyopathy, and vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis from oral poliovirus vaccine.

So why are we mandating mass vaxxing, including kids, during the epidemic of a highly survivable RNA virus...?

This is likely to get a massive fisking from people in the know in the next 48 hours.

I’ll keep watching.
