They explore the nature of myocarditis, its historical context, and the concerns raised by recent findings related to COVID-19 vaccines. ### IDEAS: 1. Myocarditis is a long-known medical issue in cardiology, historically caused by various viruses but rarely encountered before the pandemic. 2. Prior to COVID-19, myocarditis was associated with physical exertion as a trigger for cardiac arrest. 3. The paper focuses on autopsy findings from fatal cases of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis. 4. Historically, myocarditis occurred at about four cases per million per year. 5. The discussion includes the rarity of encountering myocarditis in clinical practice before the pandemic. 6. Concerns were raised about the increase in myocarditis cases potentially linked to COVID-19 vaccines. 7. The unpredictability of spike protein production post-vaccination could contribute to myocarditis. 8. Autopsy studies were reviewed to identify cases of vaccine-induced myocarditis. 9. A significant finding was that most cases involved only the cardiovascular system. 10. The mean age of death among the cases studied was notably young, suggesting a concerning trend. 11. Symptoms prior to death were often absent or not specific to cardiac issues. 12. The discussion highlights how quickly health can deteriorate from asymptomatic to fatal outcomes. 13. Genetic variability and certain genetic mutations may increase susceptibility to vaccine-induced myocarditis. 14. The inflammatory response in the heart is triggered by foreign proteins like the spike protein produced post-vaccination. 15. There's speculation about systemic inflammation affecting other organs beyond the heart due to vaccine distribution. 16. The study found a direct or significant contribution of the vaccine to deaths in a high percentage of autopsy cases analyzed. 17. Temporal association between vaccination and death suggests a need for further investigation into causality using Bradford Hill criteria. 18. Concerns are raised about long-term scarring and potential heart problems arising years after vaccination. 19. The paper calls for merging vaccine administration data with death data for better understanding temporal associations with mortality post-vaccination. ### QUOTES: 1. "Myocarditis is...a medical problem that we've dealt with in cardiology for decades." 2. "Prior to the pandemic myocarditis occurred at a rate of...about 1,200 cases in the entire country per year." 3. "Exercise or The Surge of adrenaline could be a trigger for cardiac arrest." 4. "The amount of Spike protein produced is unpredictable...with the vaccine." 5. "We set out to search the peer-reviewed literature for all the published autopsy studies." 6. "The mean age of death was 44 years old...really concerning because these aren't 90-year-olds on their deathbed." 7. "Patients had no symptoms prior to death; they just died suddenly at home." 8. "Two prospective cohort studies...evaluated people before the vaccine and then after." 9. "Genetic variability and polymorphisms...were associated with cardiac arrest in the setting of vaccine." 10. "The spike protein clearly injures endothelial cells...and actually induces thrombosis." 11. "We tried to piece this together clinically what's going on." 12. "The risk factors for myocarditis are interesting; it's men...90% of cases are men." 13. "Cumulative Spike protein exposure may play a role." 14. "No one had an MRI ahead of time to diagnose this ahead of time so these cases turned out to be largely cardiac arrest." 15. "There could be inflammation or scar formation and then this stochastic risk later on in life of cardiac arrest." 16. "It appears as if COVID-19 illness SARS-CoV-2 infection actually doesn't cause serious myocarditis." 17. "73.9% of cases the vaccine was either directly the cause of death or significantly contributed to death." 18. "Anything within 30 days any event is attributed to the experimental product period." 19. "None of the Regulatory Agencies have done a detailed evaluation of death after the vaccine." ### HABITS: (Note: The text does not provide specific personal habits related to sleep schedule, reading habits, etc., from speakers.) ### FACTS: 1. Myocarditis has been known in cardiology for decades, with rare encounters before COVID-19. 2. Historically, exercise was known as a trigger for cardiac arrest in myocarditis patients. 3. COVID-19 vaccines have raised concerns due to potential links with increased myocarditis cases. 4. Autopsy studies reviewed identified 28 cases of vaccine-induced myocarditis. 5. Most victims were relatively young, with many deaths occurring within a week of vaccination. 6. About 2-3% might sustain some heart damage post-vaccination based on cohort studies mentioned. 7. Genetic factors such as polymorphisms in certain genes may influence susceptibility to vaccine-induced myocarditis. 8. Inflammation observed in autopsies involves spike protein presence within cardiomyocytes. 9. Systemic inflammation possibly affecting other organs due to vaccine distribution was speculated upon. 10. Direct or significant contribution by vaccines to deaths was found in 73%+ cases in one study. ### REFERENCES: 1.

Daniels and colleagues' study published in JAMA from the Big 10 athletic league on athlete evaluations during COVID-19. 3. Studies by Man Sui et al., Beran et al., and Jenna Shower in Pediatrics regarding pre-and post-vaccine evaluations and pediatric myocarditis cases. 4.

Further investigation into temporal associations between vaccination and mortality through merging vaccine administration data with death data. 2. Increased awareness and caution advised for individuals post-vaccination regarding potential heart issues. 3. Consideration for resting and avoiding strenuous exercise immediately following vaccination due to potential risks highlighted. 4. Genetic screening might be beneficial for identifying those at higher risk of adverse reactions from vaccines based on genetic predispositions discussed. 5. Healthcare providers should remain vigilant for symptoms that could indicate myocarditis or other adverse effects post-vaccination despite many being asymptomatic initially.
