Both COVID-19 illness, caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and COVID-19 vaccination, ostensibly to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and serious COVID-19 morbidity, have been associated with the development of myopericarditis, i.e., inflammation of the heart muscle itself (myocarditis) or its suspending sack (pericarditis). This brief review demonstrates, first, the dubious association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and myopericarditis, and second, the robust association between COVID-19 vaccination, especially with mRNA vaccines, and myopericarditis, including, in particular, the study of fatal cases upon autopsy.
The direct relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and myocarditis remains tenuous at best. Recent ecological, controlled retrospective cohort and autopsy data do not support an association. The overall absence of support for a specific ‘SARS-CoV-2 myocarditis syndrome’ from focused autopsy studies of presumed myocarditis deaths is consistent with findings from general necropsy studies of COVID-19 deaths. These investigations have established SARS-CoV-2 infection leading to fatal COVID-19 is indeed, as the name implies, a respiratory illness. Wong et al., for example, described how, “No overt pathological findings attributable to SARS-CoV-2 infection could be recognised outside of the lung… [B]eyond the respiratory tract [SARS-CoV-2 infection] does not induce any major pathology… in fatal cases.”
A systematic review of primarily spontaneously reported data from the U.K., USA and European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA), beginning with vaccine launch through mid-March 2022, found 0.22% (n=30) of 13,571 Covid vaccine-associated myocarditis or pericarditis events were fatal. These data are complemented by a much smaller, but growing autopsy literature. The limited necropsy data characterising COVID-19 vaccine-associated deceased persons with myocarditis and myopericarditis repeatedly affirm heart-related pathologies directly attributable to very recent vaccination. Such findings contrast with the lack of definitive epidemiologic or autopsy evidence for a unique SARS-CoV-2 infection myocarditis, as Caforio et al. note:
Strong evidence for a SARS-CoV-2 role in direct infection of cardiac myocytes leading to virus induced myocarditis in patients is missing… [T]here is not yet definitive EMB [endomyocardial biopsy]/autopsy proof that SARS-CoV-2 causes direct cardiomyocyte damage in association with histological myocarditis.
Tables 1-3 detail the published autopsy findings from six fatal cases of post-Covid mRNA vaccine-associated myocarditis. The etiologies for cases 1 and 2 were most consistent with an epinephrine-mediated ‘toxic myocarditis’, whereas cases 3-6 evidenced hyperinflammatory myocarditis. Ultimately, after extensive investigation, each case was deemed a Covid vaccine-caused fatal myocarditis.

This isn’t the first, or I expect the last study that suggest the vaccines are more damaging than the disease they’re supposed to protect from. There was a Danish study (pre-printed in The Lancet) that shows that the vaccines (the mRNA variant at least – the adenovirus vector vaccines, J&J and AZ do show a positive mortality benefit though I’m naturally suspicious given there’s been no long-term data and impacts) but mRNA offer no all-cause mortality benefits due to these apparent heart complications.

Well well so it looks like this bad flu doesnt cause heart inflammation, a shock to no one not totally asleep.
SARS CoV 2 being spread in aerosols, is an infection of the upper respiratory tract where it invades mucosal cells in order to reproduce. In so doing it provokes a T cell immune response which destroys the colonised cells and the viral activity destroys cells too once replication us complete in order to release the copies.
CoVid mRNA product is injected into the muscle of the upper arm with the specific intention of causing cells there to alter their function and recreate a specific part of the protein of the CoV 2 virus… in so doing it destroys the cells as will the immune response it provokes.
Supposedly this activity is localised and of very short duration. But it has been observed that the mRNA product can migrate from the injection site and become systemic, and therefore act on muscle and other cells elsewhere in the body, and activity has been seen at 60 days post-injection.
Since the actual virus is mostly confined to and active in the upper respiratory tract at the mucosal surface, but the mRNA product can roam about, it is no surprise it is having effects on heart tissue that the virus does not.
This is why things now get decidedly dodgy and nefarious intentions are obviously at play in my opinion. At the start of the roll-out they had the excuse that the intended mechanism was for the LNPs to stay in the deltoid. I don’t know why they couldn’t establish that wasn’t the case at follow-up in the clinical trials but anyway, now its an indisputable fact that the LNPs are travelling all over the body for an extended period of time, spike proteins accumulating in organs, yet they still continue to bring out more of the same and tell people they need it, despite the now impossible to ignore deaths and injuries that are documented. The only conclusion one can draw at this point is that they fully intend to cause harm with these products. All other explanations must be discounted after all of this time and with the mountain of evidence.
It was obvious to me from the beginning that the jabs were meant to harm.
If the intention was to minimise deaths from the disease doctors would have been encouraged to try combinations of existing treatments and to communicate widely the results. Governments couldn’t have known that no existing treatments could work or that an effective “vaccine” could be developed.
They weren’t because successful treatments would have prevented the jabbed gunks from obtaining emergency use authorisation.
Therefore the objective was always to inject people with something that wasn’t about protecting them from what was always known to be, for nearly everyone, a trivial health threat.
Yes, agreed. If there was such a dire emergency of armageddon proportions then TPTB would have allowed doctors to do their jobs and thrown everything plus the kitchen sink at this deadly threat. But instead, scientific papers were fraudulently put together and published, doctors were not allowed to use drugs with decades worth of excellent safety data, these same drugs were written off and disparaged, as were any dissenting voices or contradictory data, and on and on it goes…The jabs were hailed as the magic bullet and the only way out of the crisis so they sat on their hands, denying doctors the ability to treat Covid with HCQ and Ivermectin because, as you say, no EUA would have been approved for these warp-speed clot shots with a few measly months of trial data, because a mere 40+ years of safety data on Ivermectin is just way too inadequate by comparison!
They even rubbished Vit D. But all of the aforementioned would not bring in the mega profits for Pharma and stakeholders, another plain as bloody day fact the zombie hordes seem oblivious to. That’s why such a huge amount of effort and sophisticated propaganda had to be used on the public to massively inflate the threat level. People literally had to forget they were even in possession of a perfectly good immune system which had kept them alive thus far. The transparency of it all, especially with the benefit of hindsight, is maddening.
Notwithstanding the fact that some were dismissive about the importance of Vit D supplements, some organisations involved have modified their recommendations. E.g. the online NHS site doubled the numbers from 5 to 10 µg per day; many others use even larger numbers – say 25. Funnily enough, you can buy products like that from supermarkets – marketed as “bone improvement”, or similar terms after the old anti-rickets supplement.
AT BEST it was a mass medical experiment so that the Bio-Weapons experts could assess the efficacy of the jabs. In order to get the data they wanted, they had to ensure that the vast majority subjected themselves to the experiment.
At worst, it is a deliberate attempt to depopulate.
Agreed. It is quite likely that the financial reasoning was that the use of alternative, or even established, methods of treatment were discouraged enough to justify the issue of “Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) of a new product that certain firms were interested in, and short-cutting the development process at the same time.
Exactly.

He starts by saying the vaccines have an obvious and substantial benefit against blah blah. After that lie I didn’t bother to read on.
There may be at least some myocarditis effect from COVID-19 as this pre-vax, screening-based study of athletes suggests: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/fullarticle/2780548 Flu can cause myocarditis too, which also means we can’t be certain of attribution in that study. The study only found a 2.3% incidence, most of it sub-clinical, which is far lower than the 29% incidence after MRNA vax in the recent Thai study https://www.mdpi.com/2414-6366/7/8/196
Well, what would you prefer?
And, there are more delights to come…
After reading about myocarditis and the amount of weight your heart puts on, I would have been really interested to see a genuine and thorough autopsy of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins whose heart weighed twice that of an average male his age. The media blamed it on a severe drug addiction, despite the fact that in the days leading up to his death he had been acting perfectly normally and on the night in question, he was clear headed enough to phone down to hotel reception and tell them he urgently needed an ambulance.
But again, nothing to see here. Nothing to do with the Covid jabs he was forced to take against his will by his boss and so-called best friend Dave Grohl, in order to remain drummer of the Foo Fighters.
A top-level drummer has to be very fit. It’s also the most energetic job in a rock band. I don’t doubt the jab killed him.

Absolutely. Cheers for the Kirsch link, I hadn’t seen that.
But ….. the Government keeps telling us the jabs are safe and effective.
If they told the True Believers that tomorrow the sun will rise in the west and set in the east, the Cultists would believe them.
Or more to the point, many people bought a puppy and don’t want to admit to their mistake. Lot’s of us here have a different point of view, but it’s hard work to persuade others to change their minds.
