A possible link has been found between the second vaccine dose and the onset of myocarditis

BY SIMONE J. SMITH

Parents this article is to alert you to yet another adverse reaction that has been discovered related (directly or indirectly) to the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine.

There has been a possible link found between the second vaccine dose and the onset of myocarditis among young men aged 16 to 30. This link was found to be stronger among the younger age group, 16 to 19, and became weaker the older the vaccinated individual is.

Myocarditis is an illness, characterized by such symptoms as chest pains, shortness of breath or rapid heart palpitations. It usually involves short-term hospitalization. Most cases have been in the hospital for up to four days, and 95% are considered to be mild cases. It was also discovered that myocarditis might be caused by infection with coronavirus or other viruses.

Dr. Dror Mevorach, Head of Internal Medicine at Hadassah Medical Centre in Jerusalem, led the Israeli report. The epidemiological team consisted of three professional teams:

  • Team 1 – Public health experts from the Department of Epidemiology
  • Team 2 – Experts from the National Centre for Disease Control
  • Team 3 – Experts from academic (representatives from Tel Aviv University, Haifa University and the Technion)

The report found that between December 2020 and May 2021, 275 cases of myocarditis have been reported.148 of the myocarditis cases occurred around the time of vaccination, according to the following segmentation scheme:

  • Around the time of the first dose – 27 cases out of a total of 5,401,150 vaccinated individuals (of which 11 are vaccinated individuals with pre-existing conditions)
  • Around the time of the second dose (within 30 days from the day of vaccination) – 121 cases out of a total of 5,049,424 vaccinated individuals (of which 60 are vaccinated individuals with pre-existing conditions).

So far, the data isn’t yet strong enough to prove that the vaccine caused these cases — experts say there are a number of factors that make it difficult to definitively tie the vaccine to heart inflammation, a link that’s also being investigated in the United States. In response to the report, Pfizer said it was aware of the findings, but that no causal link between myocarditis and its vaccine had been established

I find it interesting that whenever an adverse reaction does occur related (directly or indirectly) to the virus, experts will always find a way to detract from the point that it is connected to the vaccine, but there is other research that highlights other aspects of this adverse reaction.

I had mentioned a little earlier that myocarditis itself is usually caused by a viral infection, in particular, by viruses known as enteroviruses. Apparently, at this time of year — the summer months — doctors usually see an increase in cases of enterovirus, he said, making it difficult to establish a link specific to the COVID-19 vaccine.

The recommendation to vaccinate teenagers aged 12-15 is going to be discussed in the forum of the Pandemic Containment Task-Force, and submitted to the approval of the Ministry of Health’s Director General.

I am going to end this report the way that I end all of my reports; PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH. Don’t take anyone’s word for anything. It is your responsibility as a human, and as a parent to ensure that you are making informed decisions.
