>> In another study, 48% of high school endurance athletes showed signs of myocardial inflammation after the common cold
Endurance athletes? Do you have a #ing clue about the stress that endurance training puts upon the heart?
You’re just throwing out any shit you can find to marginalize the problematic findings.
And yet, you cannot demonstrate the vax curbed the impact of SARS.
Their sport didn’t cause their myocardial inflammation; a cold did. The link between certain viral infections (among other things) and myocarditis has been well known and documented for decades. Most are just now hearing about it and some (with an agenda) think this is the silver bullet they’ve been waiting for to kill the nasty vaccines. Well, it isn’t.
As for demonstrating the effectiveness of the vaccines, there are dozens of carefully constructed clinical trials from around the world demonstrating that, to say nothing of the incredible success Israel has already had. All of their neighbors are seeing COVID cases and deaths either rise or remain steady. But Israel has seen them drop to an average of 14 cases and 1 COVID death per day. In a country of over 9 million people. They’ve killed COVID-19. They did it with a vaccine - specifically, Pfizer - which their data shows blocks 94% of asymptomatic COVID-19 infections and 97% of symptomatic infections.
COVID-19 didn’t just suddenly decide it really liked Israel and the people living there. It didn’t suddenly decide to stop infecting just the people who live in Israel. Israel vaccinated most of their population and the virus ran out of vectors to continue its life cycle. And smallpox didn’t just run away after 3,500 years either (coincidentally right at the same time a worldwide mass vaccination campaign was going on).
You may choose to deny reality, but the thing about reality is that it continues to exist regardless of whether you want to believe in it.
As a former recreational distance runner (until a knee went arthritic on me), mile to marathon, it does indeed put stress on the heart. But that stress strengthens the heart, which is why I survived my first two heart attacks. I died on the b'ball court in late November of 2018, but by the Grace of God and great medical attention was revived in time, and fitted with a defibrillator/pacemaker. The defib worked perfectly in two episodes I had recently. I am scheduled for a cardiac ablation next month, hopefully back on the court by fall. God has been better to me than I deserve.
