Pediatric cardiologists explain myocarditis and why your teen should still get a Covid-19 vaccine

The news about a potential link between the Covid-19 vaccine and a cardiac ailment in young people may be striking fear in the hearts of some parents.

But pediatric cardiologists have a message for these parents: Covid-19 should scare you more — a whole lot more — than the vaccine.

And these doctors should know. They’ve treated young patients who’ve contracted this heart ailment after vaccination — it’s called myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle — and they’ve also treated young patients who’ve had Covid-19.

There simply is no comparison between the two, they say.

Hell no.

You have an immune system.

USE IT.

“XiNN”

I saw an amazing stat the other day. Zero child deaths from Covid. How many cases of myocarditis?

[kiryandil]

Trust the “doctors” who lied about hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin.

[montag813]

NO teens die from Covid...yet they should be “very afraid.”

America will survive CoupFlu.

But our relationship with the medical profession won’t.

Trust is the coin of the realm.

And Big Med is flat busted.

[ClearCase_guy]

I think its horrible that doctors recommend an unapproved, experimental drug to healthy patients.

It’s like recommending Laetrile to a cancer patient. I don’t think you’re supposed to.

>>they've also treated young patients who've had Covid-19.

Anecdotal evidence?

How many were serious cases?

[mewzilla]

Here’s a question for those docs: Why aren’t primary care providers, including pediatricians, being allowed to offer vaccinations?

Inquiring minds want to know.

But our relationship with the medical profession won’t.

Trust is the coin of the realm.

And Big Med is flat busted.

They chose BigPharma over patients :-(

[a fool in paradise]

Isn’t this off label? Wasn’t it tested for adults?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Young people have less danger from the virus than they do from the shot.

[mewzilla]

How many were cases?

Period.

[Jane Long]

Which vaccinations?

[JonPreston]

Thank you Dr Fauci.

Info at that link not what I’d call reassuring.

[proust]

It’s not even a vaccine. So much for scientists and precise terminology.

[mewzilla]

In NYS, you can’t get any of the CoupFlu shots from a primary care provider.

You get get them from public health flunkies, big box stores, pharmacies, but not from your doc.

And nobody’s asking why.

[Pollard]

Myocarditis sounds scary, but there are mild versions of it. In almost all cases among vaccinated young people (they were ages 16 to 24), the symptoms have gone away quickly. Covid-19, on the other hand, can be a long illness, or it can kill a young person — it has already killed thousands of them.

According to CNN via Mercury News, thousands of kids dead.
