In context, the CDC’s latest numbers about post-vax myocarditis represent a significant departure from last year’s narrative pushed by health bureaucrats and the media.
When reports first surfaced in 2021 that some cases of myocarditis — the inflammation of the heart muscle, potentially leading to blood clots and heart attack or stroke — were potentially associated with the Covid-19 vaccine, the corporate media and its fact-checkers were quick to label them as misinformation, saying the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh its small risks.
A year later, though, the media can no longer deny that what they called misinformation actually has data to back it up. As Matt Shapiro detailed in his Substack post on the matter, “Last year’s misinformation on vaccine-associated myocarditis in young men is this year’s well-established fact.”
According to Vaccine Safety Datalink surveillance data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted in 2022, within a week of receiving the “Dose 2 Primary Series” of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, there were 14 verified cases of myocarditis or pericarditis among the 102,091 males aged 16-17 who got the shot. Among the nearly 206,000 12-15-year-old males who received the same series, 31 cases were confirmed within a week.
...
These numbers might seem small or meaningless, but in context, they represent a significant departure from last year’s conventional wisdom pushed by health bureaucrats and parroted by the media: In 2021, the CDC’s reported rates of myocarditis during the 0-7 day “risk period” following vaccination were significantly lower compared to recent numbers.
For instance, in August last year, the CDC reported 42.6 per million cases and 71.5 per million cases for 12-15 and 16-17-year-old males, respectively, but now the health agency admits those incidence rates are actually 150.5 per million for the younger group and 137.1 per million for the older. Among 16- and 17-year-old males, the incidence rate jumps to a whopping 188 per million following the first booster, with 9 of the 47,874 developing heart inflammation in the week after that shot.
...
While rates from the latest CDC study are “3-5 times higher for young men than what the CDC was reporting this time last year,” other health experts, whom the media discredited, were ahead of the curve. Data from a study conducted by Tracy Hoeg, MD, Ph.D., and others in 2021 aligns with the latest CDC numbers from 2022.
...
The doctors reported a rate of 94 cases of “cardiac adverse events” per million for 16-17-year-old males and 162 per million for 12-15-year-old males. While this is compatible with the latest CDC study, the corporate media and its fact-checkers labeled it misinformation when it was published last year.
Following the Hoeg study’s publication, the British Medical Journal claimed critics called the study “deeply flawed” and said it delivered “an antivaccine message.” PolitiFact reported that posts about myocarditis risk on Facebook “were flagged as part” of the platform’s “efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.” Big Tech used these so-called fact-checks to censor good-faith Americans, dissenting medical experts, and even lawmakers who questioned the CDC’s vaccinations-for-all narrative.
For example, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., was labeled “fundamentally dangerous” in his efforts to let Americans discuss adverse reactions they experienced after receiving Covid shots. The Wisconsin senator’s YouTube channel was also temporarily suspended in November 2021 — for the fifth time — after posting “a video of a panel on vaccine-related injuries” that was deemed “Covid misinformation.” Yet adverse effects do occur, as even the CDC has acknowledged, including the aforementioned vaccine-associated myocarditis.
Efforts to quash alternative research prevented members of the public from considering this information, which would have allowed them to make better-informed decisions about the Covid jab for themselves and their children. As Hoeg wrote on Twitter, “If we hadn’t been vilified [sic] as ‘anti-vaxxers’ spreading ‘mis’ & ‘disinformation’, how would the conversation around minimizing the chance of this adverse event have changed & how many cases of myo/pericarditis in young males would have been prevented over the last year?”
Concern about myocarditis was not the only Covid-related content to be decried as “misinformation” and nuked from the public square though. The corporate media, health bureaucrats, and even President Biden repeated the narrative that Covid vaccines prevent the transmission of the virus. In November 2021, USA Today ran an article stating, “vaccines work against contracting, spreading Covid-19,” fact-checking social media posts that raised concern about “whether the shots work[ed].” The vaccine-hesitant and those who resisted sweeping mandates were smeared as “anti-vaxxers.”
But as The Federalist reported, the ruling regime was the real purveyor of misinformation. In January 2022, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky finally admitted on CNN that the vaccines can’t “prevent transmission.”
Many pandemic concerns that were once labeled misinformation have since proved to be true, such as learning loss due to school closures, the effectiveness of natural immunity, the ineffectiveness of cloth face coverings, and the social and economic harms of mass lockdowns, just to name a few. The ruling class being wrong about myocarditis risk is just the latest in its long list of misinforming the public about what’s misinformation — to the detriment of free speech, institutional trust, and public health.
It explains their ruthless determination to get everyone injected - to remove any control group and blame everything on a coronavirus instead of rightly blaming the shots.
As much as I like to say “I told you so” it will be no fun standing over a grave.
China is fallen under hard times....
We should send them crack pipes.
Can businesses hire their non-vaxed back now with back-pay?>
And the fact that those age groups have almost 0% chance of even getting severe covid. When the chance of severe side effects are worse than the shot and you force the shot, that is criminal. Every Dr who participated and pushed the scheme should be stripped of their ability to practice medicine.
Wrong as usual.

I was wondering when you would show up to show us all how wrong we are.
I clearly remember what happened then and they stopped the swine flu vax because of the side effects and deaths. Just for fun, I did a quick DuckDuckGo search and what do I see? You are wrong.
“By 15 December, cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) affecting vaccinated patients were reported in 10 states, including Minnesota, Maryland, and Alabama.[14] Three more cases of Guillain-Barré were reported in early December, and the investigation into cases of it spread to eleven states. On December 16, a one-month suspension of the vaccination program was announced by Sencer. William Foege of the CDC estimated that the incidence of GBS was four times higher in vaccinated people than in those not receiving the swine flu vaccine. Ford told reporters that he agreed with the suspension, but he defended the decision to create the immunization program. Joseph A. Califano, Jr., was sworn in as Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare on January 20, 1977. On February 4, Sencer was informed that he would be replaced as the head of the CDC. The immunization program was not reinstated.”
Your comment is a complete canard. Whether or not there was a swine flu epidemic is immaterial. There was a vaccination campaign started, there were a high incidence of side effects and some deaths and it was stopped because of that.
Morning. The long and distinguished (like my....uh, never mind) list of my lies... gonna have to scratch one off.
The list gets shorter as the days go by...
Maybe someday ‘ol Sarcazmo ‘ll take the time to enlighten you on a long lost discipline called “common sense”. You can leave your sheepskin at home, you won’t need it. But if you can master it young Paduan... you will wield powers beyond your wildest imagination.
As a common sense Jedi, you will immediately throw your little paper mask in the trash. And get this... you won’t need six peer reviewed studies over a period of five years performed across six countries to know.
YOU’LL JUST KNOW!
Imagine the power you would wield.
you are entirely wrong about that
These people like Wollensky, Fauci and others are genodical monsters. May God’s justice come swiftly to them.
In ‘77 the Swine Flu vax was pulled after causing fewer than three dozen reported deaths and 500 reported injuries.
Why is human life worth so much less now?

Somewhere between then and now the CDC was captured by Big Pharma. The CDC is now a rubber stamp for whatever Big Pharma wants approved. thus the approval a few years back of an ineffective, must monstrously expensive Alzheimer’s drug. Or, more recently, the approval of a modified Covid shot with zero human subject testing and a total of 8 mice on which the shot was tested.
Is there a direct link to the CDC? The owners of my company still think I’m full of crap when I bring this up.
I guess the $hot $hill$ really have their work cut out for them now.
They’re going to need to demand more pay to continue to push their bald faced lies here on FR.
Conspiracy theory=spoiler alertThe government wants to disarm us after 245 yrs 'cuz they

“A Warren Hills Regional High School ninth-grader collapsed Wednesday afternoon during an athletic practice, but school personnel acted quickly and the student was flown to a hospital, the schools superintendent said.
The student was brought by helicopter to Morristown Medical Center and is doing well, officials said Thursday.
“The coaches and athletic trainers provided immediate medical attention pursuant to district safety policies, protocols and best practices,” Superintendent Earl C. Clymer III told lehighvalleylive.com in a news release. “The Washington Township EMT Squad responded to the scene supported by the Oxford EMT Squad.”
School officials did not disclose the student’s identity or the medical problem that caused the collapse.
Clymer praised the “professionalism of our staff and the first responders in managing this emergency situation” at the Washington Township school.
Answer one question……
You are an anonymous poster on an internet forum with no verifiable credentials, no verifiable experience, no proof of anything and yet you expect us to take you at your word just on your say so when the overwhelming amount of evidence demonstrates you are wrong.
WHY should we believe you?
I was hospitalized for five days with Covid in February 2021.
I had no cardiac issues while hospitalized.
My Dr. recommended the Vax, which I took around May - June.
I subsequently developed a cardiac bundle branch block.
Cardiologist says there is no connection, but there are multiple reports of conduction problems with the vax.
What will the forced vaccination cost businesses who “required” the Jab?
Drug companies are said to be exempted from liability, but even that is questionable. The issue? Fraud.
They knew from beginning. Hence, Fraud vitiates everything.
Yes, the Drug companies have a fall guy corporate name that was the recipient of the Fed Gov money. Seeking to double isolate drug companies from liability. But if they knew and lied about it for all this time. That won’t hold water either.
Expose em ALL.
That’s not the way I remember it.
