Heart inflammation cases in young men higher than expected after mRNA vaccines

Thanks for the article, an interesting read for sure. It’s nice to see there’s been plenty of follow-up study on this.

Respectfully, you’re wrong to say “thoroughly disproven”. Even the article ends with the suggestion that it’s a side-effect of covid, albeit a rare one.

The article’s position is more that it was overblown to worry about stopping young athletes from competing for fear of myo being a common side-effect as opposed to the ~1% rate the studies have since shown.

My wife died from myocarditis 2 months ago. The only thing she tested positive for was COVID.

The coroner's report however, was quite clear that COVID did not cause her death or the myocarditis and that there has been no such reported case anywhere in the world.

If anyone has information to dispute that I would be very interested to see it. Thanks

Myocarditis is unfortunately very common. There are many causes, including a panoply of viruses for which tests may not exist. That is probably why the coroner's report said what it did.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss, myo is a terrible illness and so poorly understood by the medical community - even cardiologists seem to have a hard time recognising it.

There’s a good deal of info available in medical journals relating to covid and myo. I’m no doctor though I’ve researched it well since being diagnosed.

I wonder how many other coroners ruled a case of myocarditis to not have been caused by a recent COVID infection because other coroners had not been willing to make the association either?
