It’s worth nothing that the Israeli study linked identified 275 cases of myocarditis, all but ~14 of which were mild, out of five million doses - a far cry from the mass death and destruction due to the vaccine that the vaccine skeptics are describing.




A Covid infection of course also triggers myocarditis, and a much more severe version of it.


I believe it's arrhythmias that you've heard of. The incidence of carditis are, so far, incidental rather than attributed to COVID. It's theorized that carditis develops from overactive immune response, but that's not confirmed.

Arrhythmias are not uncommon under metabolically stressed individuals.


No, as you would expect with a virus, COVID can and does cause myocarditis, at a rate much higher than any vaccine, again, as you would expect from an active vs at most inactivated virus.

I'm not sure what you mean by "No". Ofc it can cause myocarditus, as all manner of things trigger inflammation in marginal cases.

> at a rate much higher than any vaccine

Can you point to any data as justification for that conclusion?


As I understand it, this is correct.
