The World Health Organization (WHO) has sounded the alarm over a significant increase in cases of “severe myocarditis” among newborns and infants in Wales and England.
The WHO issued a warning on Tuesday, drawing attention to a worrying increase in these severe cases of myocarditis between June 2022 and March 2023 and recommending increased awareness and further investigation into the underlying causes.
“On 5 April 2023, the National IHR Focal Point for the United Kingdom informed WHO of an increase in severe myocarditis in neonates associated with enterovirus infection in Wales,” according to the news release.
There were ten newborns hospitalized with myocarditis, and one of them died.
“Between June 2022 and April 2023, ten hospitalized neonates with a positive enterovirus Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test were found to have myocarditis. Seven of the ten cases had further subtyping, with either coxsackie B3 or coxsackie B4 identified. As of 5 May 2023, one patient was still hospitalized, and one had died.”
According to a UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) representative who spoke with The Epoch Times, there were also five cases of myocarditis in England.
Myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, can lead to significant complications and, in severe cases, even result in heart failure. Typically, enterovirus infections in neonates and young infants tend to be mild and self-limiting. However, the recent surge in severe myocarditis cases with adverse outcomes in this population is highly unusual and warrants immediate attention.
“Although enterovirus infections are common in neonates and young infants, the reported increase in myocarditis with severe outcomes in neonates and infants associated with enterovirus infection is unusual,” said WHO.
WHO added that epidemiological investigations are ongoing.

Wonder if the number of kids waiting for new livers has gone up “unexpectedly” since the vaxxes...
coxsackie virus has long been known to cause myocarditis. Long before covid or the covid vax
A fascinating and informative letter to the editor published last month...
Now we have an even better idea why unexpected unattendeds aren’t being autopsies, even when required by statute/regs or are being slow-walked...
This particular article is regarding enterovirus in infants - which has nothing to do with the letter you posted. No one is disputing that myocarditis (rare mild and self limited) is a known complication of the covid vax which is why you can find comments from me in the past saying I would recommend caution in young men. By the way the only severe case of myocarditis I saw during covid was patient with the disease long before the vax was available - the disease caused more severe myocarditis than the vax. Any other unrelated data you would like to discuss?
I don’t know what you were reading. From my above link...
“...our study has established the morphological characteristics of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced (epi-)myocarditis, and its causality for death...”
If you’re referring to the Baltimore Sun link...
BRB...
again nothing to do with infants with enterovirus. Which is the topic of this thread
Editorial: Acute Hepatitis of Unknown Origin in Children. Is Autoimmunity at Play?
Love this bit......Even though these clinical studies have shown that most affected children were not yet vaccinated, this mechanism may also be extrapolated to SARS-CoV-2 as a cause of acute hepatitis....
That's so sciencey, ain't it?
Note that adenovirus vectored CoupFlu vaxxes are never discussed. Nor is the vaxx status of breastfeeding moms of patients.
Looks like don't ask, don't tell to me.
Looks to me like a grasping overreach admitting most were not even vaxxed. But if your worldview requires every illness in the last few years to be related to the covid vax then have at it.
unvaxed but crawingly around the house.
got the cron in 6/2022.
barreleye functioning.
see ya.
Put me in faucis sucess mill. its not just the vax - think they work together and shedding is a problem.
Think I’m dying.
Gone down hard lots of times recently.
No reason. 68 yo.
