Heart Scarring Observed in Children Months After COVID-19 Vaccination: Study
The Epoch Times ^ | 08/05/2023 | Zachary Stieber

Posted on 08/15/2023 5:09:21 AM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

Some children who experienced heart inflammation after COVID-19 vaccination had scarring on their hearts months later, a new long-term study found.

Researchers followed a group of 40 patients aged 12 to 18 for up to one year after the children were diagnosed with myocarditis, or heart inflammation, following vaccination with one of the messenger RNA vaccines from Pfizer or Moderna. They performed a series of tests, including echocardiograms.

Cardiac MRIs were performed on 39 of the 40 patients. Abnormal results came in for 26 of those who were imaged, including 19 who had late gadolinium enhancement, or signs of scarring. The patients with abnormal results returned for follow-up cardiac MRIs at least five months after the initial tests and 15, or 58 percent, had residual late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). The one patient without an initial scan also had mild late gadolinium enhancement when scanned during a follow-up visit.

“Persistence of LGE in a significant subset of patients with up to 1 year of follow-up was observed,” Dr. Yiu-fai Cheung, with Hong Kong Children’s Hospital, and the other researchers wrote.

They said the implications of the persistence remain unclear but that given it’s an indicator of subclinical heart dysfunction and scarring, “there exists a potential long-term effect on exercise capacity and cardiac functional reserve during stress.”

The study was published by Circulation. The authors reported no funding or disclosures…

This is from trusting science rather than God.

We are the government, trust us.

And so many did, blindly.

‘This is from trusting science rather than God.’

I have quite a few health concerns, but at age 66 I had never had any sort of heart problems. My daughter
a R.N., my sis in law, nurse anethisist, and my wife all ganged up and presuaded me to take the shots in march 2020. Now I have Afib. Where I used to be able to walk 10 miles if I wanted, instead of my usual 3 miles every day now I cant even walk 1 mile without sometimes needing to stop and rest. IF I am able to do my normal 3 miles now, I usually cant get out of my recliner for the rest of the day.

It’s not looking good ...

Spike Protein Induced Cardiotoxicity: A Potential Tsunami of Cardiac Issues Over the Next 20+ Years
https://jessicar.substack.com/cp/135786414

Much detailed info at link - here is Dr. Rose’s conclusion:

“I also apologize if this comes across as fear mongering. I assure you it is not. We must face this and cannot sweep it under the rug or brush it aside with abandon. If this hypothesis is true, we must immediately begin screenings and implement treatment protocols. Again, my fear is that, currently, much of the damage from radiation induced cardiotoxicity is irreversible.

I will continue to work towards complete understanding and successful treatment.”

To add to the injury (physical, mental, emotional) the “science” people thought they could and did rely on was fraudulent, lies, corrupt & not what science is truly supposed to be.

Not disputing the findings. I am simply wondering how many babies had upper chest MRIs against which they can compare their findings.

How do we know this is a change from pre-Covid numbers?

I found my mileage drop this summer. But now that the air is clear from Canadian fires and it’s not 100 degrees…I am back up to 5 miles.

The study cited is from Hong Kong:

https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.064772

The main vaccines used in China were CoronaVac and Sinopharm, which are not mRNA vaccines like Moderna and Pfizer, but instead use inactivated virus. mRNA vaccines were not approved by China until May 2023.

However, they did a test in Hong Kong when there was an Omicron surge in January of 2022 wherein half the population received CoronaVac and half Pfizer (object of the test being to find out whether there were any differences in efficacy and duration of efficacy):

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35850128/

See also (sorry it’s NPR and you have to read past their pontificating — they really are insufferable):

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/12/30/1143696652/chinas-covid-vaccines-do-the-jabs-do-the-job

The portion of the study in Circulation we can read without paying for access does not specify when these kids were vaccinated, when diagnosed with vaccine-related myocarditis, or which vaccines they received. These would be interesting things to know to develop a better picture. Of course the incidence rate of vaccine-related myocarditis for each group would also be of interest.

Some studies are showing excess deaths for 0-24 yrs old up 45%.

You got links to those “studies” or are you just blowing smoke again?

If any of you have free access to the Circulation article in question (first !ink in my #16) and can answer the questions posed once in said #16, it would be much appreciated.
