On June 25, 2021 the FDA update the patient and provider Fact Sheets for Moderna & Pfizer-BioNTech‘s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine to warn and reflect “the suggested increased risks of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart) following vaccination”…”particularly following the second dose and with onset of symptoms within a few days after vaccination.” [1, 2, 8]
Two days prior, on June 23, 2021 ACIP met to discuss the rising incidence of myocarditis (heart inflammation) but despite alarming data, [5] they didn’t advise to halt the vaccine in this age group. [4]
Since March 2021 there has been documented increasing incidences of fit and healthy athletes suddenly collapsing and dying, but also in the general population. [6, 7]
Dr McCullough, a cardiologist, says there’s no such thing as “mild” myocarditis from the vaccines. Once heart cells are damaged, that’s permanent. An elevated troponin level from natural infection is transient and should not be confused with vaccine induced myocarditis. [3]
