It's important to mention that catching COVID also causes myocarditis https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7035e5.htm

Edit: this article says out of 192 405 448 people, 1626 had myocarditis, or about 0.0008%.

In contrast, the CDC estimates COVID has a 0.146% chance to give you myocarditis.

> To be clear: whoever gets heart inflammation from Moderna would’ve almost certainly got it worse from Covid. The issue arises from the spike protein itself. That’s why we don’t see myocarditis from non-MRNA vaccines like Astra Zeneca.

> It's hard to sift through the mass of information and misinformation that exists about COVID-19. Recently there’s been increased focus on myocarditis and whether COVID-19 vaccines increase the risk of this condition and, if so, is that risk greater or less than the risk if you contract COVID.

Does the AstraZeneca vaccine not include the spike protein? I thought it included the whole virus including the spike protein.

Well his blue check says he’s a journalist. I do wonder if the delivery is different. Wild covid is caught in the respiratory tract while vaccine is injected in the muscle. Any medically savvy people can comment on this pseudoscientific drivel?

I'm confused by this - the AZ vaccine also expresses the spike protein, just in a different delivery mechanism, right? That was my understanding when I got the AZ vaccine in a trial.

It should also produce the spike protein I believe, it's just that the triggers for cells to produce it are within an adenovirus, not mrna inside lipids.

So I'm not sure what this guy is on about.

It's also true that VAERS may be underreporting cases.
