It has still not been confirmed with certainty that the inflammation was developed as a side-effect to the vaccination
A 19-year-old was hospitalized with myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, five days after receiving his second dose of the coronavirus vaccine, TEREM emergency medical clinics reported Monday.
According to the clinic, it has still not been confirmed that the inflammation was developed as a side effect of the vaccination. However, a number of COVID-19-related myocarditis cases have been reported, according to the US National Institutes of Health.
“The fact that the symptoms started immediately after the vaccination raises the suspicion that an immunological reaction may have caused the inflammation,” said Dr. Abdulhadi Farojeh, a TEREM medical director.
The young man received treatment at a TEREM center in Modi’in on Sunday night before being transferred for further treatment to Shamir Medical Center in Tzrifin.
He had experienced an accelerated heartbeat since the time of his second vaccine, along with shortness of breath and sharp pains that were radiating down his left arm, according to Dr. Badarnih Bahaa.
TEREM took blood tests that revealed the heart inflammation.
Without treatment, myocarditis can lead to cardiac arrhythmia and even death. The 19-year-old had no underlying medical conditions prior to the event.
In late December, shortly after Israel launched its vaccination campaign, a 75-year-old man from Beit She’an died of a heart attack about two hours after being vaccinated, the Health Ministry reported. However, the ministry said the man had preexisting conditions and had suffered from heart disease in the past, ultimately determining that the vaccination was likely not linked to his death.
In general, most people who are vaccinated have mild if any side effects, according to the Health Ministry. Several dozen people have required medical attention following the shot.
Thank you God ... I’ve somehow made it 17 days after Moderna vax #1.
Thanks doc, super helpful......
Can you please, for the class, confirm that the mRNA vaccine is not a traditional vaccine. Can you then briefly explain why it is different.
Next, for the good of the class, please provide a testing track record for mRNA vaccines as they pertain to coronaviruses. SARS would probably be a great one to use as we all kind of remember that. Please be sure to include what happened to the animals when challenged with the natural virus after immunization.
Lastly, a rundown of why use on humans was not recommended in the past.
Thank you for your time.
Great way to kill a lot of people. All you need is something to set off the reaction and they start dropping dead. But no worries, it’s not like there are folks wanting to reduce the human population or anything lurking about.
The point I made was that the poster wrote quite inaccurately that DNA is injected. It is not DNA. I am not sure I can have a detailed discussion with someone who fails to understand the difference between DNA and mRNA
How can you expect to have a conversation when one side doesn’t even understand the language?
As I read all the comments to these articles, it becomes apparent that there are quite a sizeable number of drug pushers hereabouts.
LOL, one man’s drug is another man’s anodyne..............
mRNA vaccines are third generation vaccines. The first generation used weakened or killed pathogens. They were prone to numerous issues, such as incomplete pathogenic inactivation resulting in the subject actually becoming infected with the very thing the vaccine was intended to protect against. This was quite rare, but still a risk. Gen 2 vaccines typically spliced code from one pathogen into another - albeit one that was incapable of replicating in humans. This worked well and eliminated the risk of infection, but it also was very slow and expensive, requiring months of growing (culturing) in order to get the necessary amounts for sufficient doses. Culturing often used mediums (e.g. chicken eggs) which resulted in allergic reactions for certain people. This is why - up until very recently - some people couldn't get flu shots. Third generation vaccines (mRNA platform) are much quicker and easier to make and carry no risk of infection.
"Can you then briefly explain why it is different."
Rather than using an inactivate or weakened pathogen, or splicing RNA/DNA to create a non-infectious carrier for the part of the pathogen triggering an immune response, the third generation vaccines simply take a small snippet of protein instructions and encase them in a lipid (fat) shell. Upon encountering human cells, the lipid shell dissolves into the cell membrane and releases the protein instructions (mRNA) into the cellular cytoplasm. Once there, they'll encounter ribosomes, which are the cell's protein builders. They take mRNA instructions (whether they're from the cell's nucleus or from another source such as a virus of a third generation vaccine) and produce whatever protein has been encoded. In this case, the protein encoded is a surface protein on a pathogen which is harmless by itself, but which the immune system will recognize as foreign.
Macrophages and NK T-cells will begin killing the cells producing the foreign proteins while dendritic cells will take samples of the protein back to the lymph nodes where T-cells will activate B-cells resulting in the production of neutralizing antibodies. Should anything carrying that protein be encountered in the future (e.g. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19), it would be immediately overwhelmed by the antibodies.

Sure, first, there have been numerous pharmaceutical companies working on third generation vaccines for decades now. Moderna is a company created just over 10 years ago for one singular purpose: to produce and sell vaccines based on the mRNA platform. In 2020, after the genetic sequence for SARS-CoV-2 was released to the world, Moderna, Pfizer, and others began work on vaccine candidates. Over 200 vaccine candidates were started worldwide; most of them gen1 or gen2 candidates. Moderna and Pfizer were the first third generation candidates to make it to Phase 1 clinical trials. When Phase 1 clinical trials demonstrated the vaccine candidates were safe, they were expanded into Phase 2 clinical trials. After those again proved safe, Phase 3 clinical trials began. All in all, between Moderna and Pfizer human trials in just the UK and the US, over 100,000 people participated over the course of several months.
At the end of that, data was presented to regulators in the US and Europe showing that both candidates were safe and extremely effective (95% effective, which is the same as the smallpox vaccine). Since that time, they've been rolled out to 63 countries around the world. 98 million doses have been given, including 32 million doses in the US alone. A rare allergic reaction has been observed in a small number of people. About 1 per 100,000 with the Pfizer vaccine and about 1 per 1,000,000 with the Moderna vaccine. This seems to be related to a part of the lipid shell added to keep it stable long enough for the vaccine to function. Otherwise, it would break down too quickly and not do anything. Some adjustments there will likely bring down the number of allergic reactions.
"SARS would probably be a great one to use as we all kind of remember that."
I don't believe any testing was ever done with SARS-CoV-1 and mRNA vaccines since nobody was really doing actual candidates back in 2003. Vaccine candidates for SARS-CoV-1 were gen 1 and gen 2 vaccine candidates.
"Please be sure to include what happened to the animals when challenged with the natural virus after immunization."
You're referring to the NIH published paper that discussed a reaction to a specific vaccine candidate in a certain animal model. The paper suggested using caution to ensure future vaccine candidates didn't elicit similar issues.
"Lastly, a rundown of why use on humans was not recommended in the past."
Well, it wasn't. Again, there was an evaluation of specific vaccine candidates with a note of caution because of some risks observed in animal models. That's not unusual at all. About 90% of vaccine candidates fail because of issues like that; most in Phase 3 clinical trials. That's why we do clinical trials. And that's why when a candidate makes it all the way through Phase 3 clinical trials and gets authorization, you know it's quite well tested.
Congratulations. It’s amazing how many people have survived the vaccine. Even my family doctor and his nurse are doing splendidly after receiving it.
Weak.
Thanks for the info on what could be a very bad response to the mRNA vaccines in the future. I think I’ll wait for the J&J version.
The real problem has been the fear that has been ginned up about a bioweaponized cold virus.
I had the TV on the other day on I think ABC, just before the local news was to come on. I left the room without turning the TV off. When I came back in it was about two minutes into the regular 15 minute COVID news. I could not believe the fear that began to well up in me.
This whole covid thing has been run on putting as much fear into us as possible. I don't do media-induced fear. I run from it.
I will not be getting their experimental shot.
