Myocarditis after Covid vaccination: Research on possible long-term risks begins

Re: Myocarditis after Covid vaccination: Research on possible long-term risks begins
#162One of my kids, 15 at the time, was one of the reported cases of myocarditis. At the time of his hospitalization he was one out of 700 cases. He was in the hospital for two weeks. While under observation after his release, we have not seen indications of lasting damage. No way to know what the future holds. So far, so good. We are still not anti-vax at all. In fact, I might go for my next booster today. The one thing…
A good thing he is so young - seems like a good indicator for no lasting damage. We really don't know much about this virus and by association it's vaccine - it does not behave like the flu - lost a colleague to Beta who was way fitter and way healthier than me (he did Murtai and BMI) - he ended on a ventilator and died, and I was just man down for week and a half at home. It still took me weeks to recover back to my…

Chemo Therapy is literally poisoning you just enough to kill the cancer. The anti-arthritis medications I take cause terrible side effects. These options are still better than the underlying problems. Throwing out pithy feel good quotes doesn't capture the nuance of the line that doctors walk when trying to treat illnesses. "Do no harm" is the ideal. In reality it's to do less harm than the disease.
It reminds me of how Japanese honeybees kill hornets - they overheat it by swarming it and flapping their wings vigorously to transfer body heat and cook it alive.
They fortunately can tolerate a few degrees higher core temperature than the hornet - it can't be good for the bees but if your lifespan is 60 days.

#164Seems like this should have been a requirement before any emergency use authorization, and certainly before any mandates. The fact that this research is just now being done ought to be enough to immediately revoke the FDA emergency use authorizations and pull the product from the shelves. The covid vaccines have been a complete and utter disaster at every level. The erosion of trust in the institutions that are suppo…
It also seems like, in the absence of assurance of long-term safety, you would recommend the vaccine for at-risk groups only. It's known now that the risk to young people (under 19) is minimal: IFR < 3/1,000,000. And that was during the much more dangerous early strain of Covid-19, not the ones circulating now. Yet here we are in 2022 with a recommendation from the CDC to vaccinate ages 5 and up, regardless of health…
It is wild to me that people look at a number like 3/1,000,000 and don't think wow, that's 1900 Children who could die from something we have a vaccine for, that actively prevents the cause.
Also, can you imagine losing a child to something that was preventable? You can play numbers and statistics all day, but we're talking about children's lives.
You're probably not a parent? But for reference, go find examples of people who are parents that have lost children to some cause, and see what they're doing now? I would bet 9/10 times they're trying to prevent that from happening to others.

#165I think that all this COVID stuff was everything opposite than using science, starting from the people, including government, taking of "trusting science".
Science is not a religion, and we don't have to believe in it. Instead we need to be critic, conduct experiments, evaluate our thesis, put everything into discussion. Something we didn't, because you are a fool if you have doubts about vaccines, if you talk about negative effects, they are 100% safe and you are an ignorant.
This is the contrary of doing science. We didn't studied these vaccines enough, we didn't take for serious people lamenting adverse reactions, we did hide the news about that because we feared people not taking the vaccine. Is this science? It's not.
If you look at the news, vaccines are 100% safe and doesn't have any side effect. You ask people that got that, you get another opinion. Me too after the third dose (that I wouldn't had got if I wasn't forced to do so by our "democratic" government, no wonder here in Italy last elections won the "fascists", if these are the democratic people) I had serious side effects, I was basically not feeling well for a week. To take into prospective, when I got COVID in March 2020 when it was still a new thing I only got a slight fever for two days, nothing compared of the effect of the vaccine itself...

The kid might even have had natural antibodies, since when the vaccines were approved for kids a very big percent of them already had covid.
With the media black out of anything anti-pro-vaccine, it’s not surprising that natural immunity provides better protection isn’t more well known: https://www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-on...
I like the term “anti-pro-vaccine”, the media would simply refer to it as “anti-vax”

Worth noting, the Florida Surgeon General's opinion was lambasted in the mainstream media as him embracing conspiracy theories (and there is some interesting added context there as to why they believe so). Which... maybe two things are true at once. Perhaps he was - but also, perhaps his stance is not that radical. Radical compared to most Surgeon Generals in the United States; but on an international level? https://…
Even the neighbouring country Canada stopped giving Moderna to people under 30 a year ago in September 2021. The CDC on the other hand is still continuing on. Clearly something is wrong in the US.
Canada might be our neighbor but it’s wildly different from a population and care perspective.

#169I'm very skeptical about their numbers. Some time in 2021 there was a story about COVID vaccines and heart issues here on HN. The comments filled up with people saying that ever since they'd got their shots they were experiencing new heart-related symptoms they'd never had previously like permanently racing heartbeats, palpitations/fluttering, inability to do exercise and more. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to re-fi…
As someone who experienced heart attack like symptoms as an under 30 year old, did go into the hospital and got a pericarditis[1] diagnosis, I think that describing your friends unknown heart condition as a heart attack is unnecessary fear mongering considering similar symptoms can present themselves as a much less severe condition. Both the Vaccine and Covid are known have a low chance of causing heart issues.

Flu shots target several strains of one virus, not several viruses. There is no credible epidemiologist who wouldn't call the COVID-19 vaccines a vaccine. And there are a number of vaccines with limited reduction in transmission but effectiveness against more severe outcomes.
