An Olympic sprinter says she is “upset” at being diagnosed with a rare heart condition after getting her Pfizer booster shot.
Swiss athlete Sarah Atcho, who competed in the four-by-100 metres relay at the 2016 Brazil Olympics, revealed in an Instagram post to her 22,000 followers this week that she had been diagnosed with pericarditis, or inflammation of the lining around the heart.
Pericarditis and more serious myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, are known but rare side effects of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA Covid-19 vaccines.
The 26-year-old said she received her booster on December 22 “because I didn’t want to struggle with this when the season started”.
“I was told that it was safer to get Pfizer to avoid cardiac side effects,” she wrote.
"On December 27 I felt a tightness in the chest and started feeling dizzy while walking up the stairs. This happened a few more times until I decided to check with a cardiologist who diagnosed me with pericarditis (inflammation of the thin membrane surrounding the heart). I am now not allowed to get my heart rate up for a few weeks to allow my heart to rest and heal from the inflammation.”

AFAIK, her parents are immigrants to Switzerland; her father hails from Ivory Coast and her mother from Morocco.
But Sarah Atcho was born and raised in Lausanne, where her parents had gotten to know each other and married :-)
Drink!
Swiss cocoa never heard of, you have?
The jabs should be served with a tall glass of grape Kool-Aid.
It could’ve been a lot worse without the jab.
Why is this happening?
This crap MRNA clot shots need to be shut down now.
No more and no more papers and mandates.
Perhaps Aunt Jemimah was an undercover Swiss woman.
whether the cause be from the virus or from the vaccines.No need to repeat yourself.
one of my bad habits - mea culpa
Well at least she won’t die of Covid…oh wait…get jabbed…get your affairs in order…
This would end the career of most athletes, at least those whose performance is measured in fractions of a second.
Typically think that it takes a week for ever day sick (as in ‘not well’) to get back to normal. Not the three or four days obviously sick, but the weeks of not well. If it takes six days sick, becomes six weeks until well, but if it’s six weeks til not , then suddenly you are looking at 42 weeks of still not well.
Pericardial inflammation is months to recover; there is no off switch to rest. This woman will no longer be an athlete.
Her career as an athlete is probably over.
Looks like that one girl that played the part of Barry and Mike O’Bama’s daughter.

Shes pretty hot though
At least she found out now instead of dropping dead on the track.
It’s not rare if you’re taking those damn shots.
