Now the myocarditis that occurs with the natural infection is usually those sick enough to be in
the ICU and it's a troponin elevation only. It's very different than the myocarditis that we're
seeing with the vaccines which we'll get to. The myocarditis in COVID-19 is mild, it's
inconsequential, and it's largely a troponin elevation. I don't want anybody to think
that the myocarditis of the natural infection is anything like what we're seeing with the vaccines.
Exactly. The vaccine produces the inflammatory type process. Is it on the heart?
And the vaccine is directly there.
Now there's preclinical studies suggesting the lipid nanoparticles actually go right
into the heart.
The heart expresses the spike protein.
The body attacks the heart.
There are dramatic EKG changes.
The troponin, the blood test for heart injury with the vaccine macroditis is...
is 10 to 100 volts higher than the troponin we see with the natural infection. It's a totally
different syndrome about when the kids get myocarditis after the vaccine, 90 percent have
to be hospitalized, they have dramatic EKG changes, chest pain, early heart failure,
they need echocardiograms.
If the ejection fraction is low, they need medications to prevent heart failure.
So vaccine-induced myocarditis is a big deal.
And in children, it's way more serious and more prominent than a post-COVID myocarditis.
