Doctors Are Puzzled by Heart Inflammation in the Young and Vaccinated

Myocarditis and pericarditis, which mysteriously skew young and male, can arise from an array of triggers, including bacteria and fungi as well as medications and autoimmune disease, but many cases go entirely unexplained. There’s no curative, or even standard, treatment for either condition; doctors try to manage symptoms and tamp down inflammation, said John Jarcho, a cardiovascular-medicine specialist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston.

Cases related to vaccines are more puzzling still. Only a few immunizations have previously been linked to heart inflammation, among them the smallpox vaccine, which looks nothing like the jabs we’re doling out now. Researchers remain unsure what’s triggering the body to act out, or which children, especially which adolescent boys, might be most vulnerable. Mark Slifka, a vaccinologist at OHSU, told me he suspects the inflammation is caused by a bit of friendly fire—an extreme manifestation of the side effects already known to come with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, especially after the second injection. Perhaps immune cells are pumping out excessive alarm signals that marshal forces to the heart, or maybe the body’s defenders, confused by a vaccine ingredient, mistakenly wallop cardiac tissue. (Kids’ immune systems are generally feistier than adults’.)

We also don’t yet know whether these brief bouts of inflammation are leaving lasting damage, perhaps through subtle scarring of the heart, said Jeremy Asnes, a co-director of Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital Heart Center. His team has seen about a dozen adolescents with the conditions and will conduct follow-ups over the next several months. Guzman-Cottrill is doing the same in Oregon.

All of these factors make the risk of this complication tough to quantify, and several researchers have criticized the CDC’s recent evaluation...

Either way, this is laughable nonsense. The vaccines aren’t killing people. COVID-19 is. The vaccines are saving many, many lives. And they will continue to do so, no matter what delusional nonsense you choose to post. Reality continues right along with or without you acknowledging it.

Did you make out a will? just to cya

I’ve had a will, limited power of attorney, and limited medical power of attorney signed and filed for decades. Everyone should. It’s just foolish not to. And make sure they’re notarized.

I’ve made no changes to anything in response to getting the COVID-19 vaccine in terms of planning for my inevitable demise. I have no fear of the vaccine.

Is it perhaps...

A bad side effect of the recombinant genetic cocktail being injected into these kids?

(Who, btw, have negligible risk from COVID-19.)

These ARE THE TRIALS!

This would be funny if it wasn’t fatal for so many people. Dumba$$e$ with mediical degrees are murdering innocent people

WHY? That’s easily answered if you follow the $$ AND LOOK AT WHAT the DimWITS get out of the scam virus vaccinations.

So what if tens or even hundreds of thousands die. It’s for the greater good of the Dim WITS.
