As most of you might recall the initial concern about post vaccination myocarditis was raised by some Army physicians. Their concern was basically dismissed by those in the military who knew best. This was a potentially big problem as the military was mandating Covid vaccinations for young healthy individuals whose risk from Covid was very low. If the vaccines had significant side effects, that would not look good for the higher-ups in the military. So what to do? Hmmm?
Obviously do a study to disprove any correlation between the Covid vaccine and myocarditis. So that’s what they did … and not surprisingly the study did not find any correlation! The problem, as I see it, is that this “study” was poorly done, and it was a very small study with thirty patients, twenty-three of which were active duty …hardly the population that the lead author, a pediatric resident, would typically deal with.
In general the experts appeared to agree with me.
From the Epoch Times:
“Several experts who reviewed the paper said the study did not provide any reassurance due to its small population and the definition of subclinical myocarditis.
Rates of clinical myocarditis, or heart inflammation manifesting through symptoms, run around 1 in 3,000 to 6,000 in multiple previous studies.Defining subclinical myocarditis as troponin raised to a certain level without cardiac MRI cannot rule out the condition, doctors said. The levels recorded in some of the participants indicate that there was “some damage to the myocardium,” according to Dr. Kirk Milhoan, a pediatric cardiologist. He said he’d have liked to see cardiac MRIs performed on those participants.
‘Why don’t we look further and see what that is, as opposed to saying, ‘well, since nothing was over 20, it was just ignored,’ he told The Epoch Times.”
As we have all heard many times before, “the cover-up is often worse than the crime.” Could this just be another example?
