Studies have largely confirmed that the overall myocarditis risk is significantlyhigher after an actual COVID-19 infectioncompared with vaccination, and that the prognosis followingmyocarditis due to the vaccine is betterthan from infection. The specific myocarditis risk varies by a...
Vaccination risks for myocarditis are substantially lower than those from infection, with health bodies supporting vaccination despite potential risks, highlighting the mild nature of most vaccine-related myocarditis cases. Theheart has played a central roleinCOVID-19 since the beginning. Cardiovascular ...
An autoimmune disease develops if a small section, called epitope, of an invading microbe is very very similar to a small section of some body cell, called molecular mimicry. The mRNA vaccine produces only a part of the s-spike protein and it isn’t even close to any body cell. And des...
Once inside the host cell, mRNA encodes the translation to the spike protein which acts as an antigen and stimulates the adaptive immune response in the vaccinee. Should such an individual now encounter infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, its spike-protein is unable to bind to the ACE-2 ...

The CDC in June concluded that the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the risks of vaccine-caused myocarditis, even in the most at risk group. The new study's authors wrote that the new data backed up that claim. The benefits of vaccination increase when community transmission of COVI...

Even though the analysis of myocarditis reports related to coronavirus vaccine is in progress, the AHA/ASA stated that “myocarditis is typically the result of an actual viral infection, and it is yet to be determined if these cases have any correlation to receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.” ...
myocarditis; COVID-19; COVID-19 vaccines; 2019-nCoV vaccine mRNA-1273; mRNA vaccines1. Introduction Acute myocarditis is commonly defined as a sudden inflammatory injury to the myocardium [1]. The leading cause of myocarditis is viral infection, followed by systemic inflammatory diseases, then ...
Viral vaccination against coxsackievirus B3 [33], as done with the polio vaccine and the mumps/measles/rubella vaccines. - Protease inhibitors to prevent progression to chronic dilated cardiomyopathy [34]. - Antiviral therapies. - Cardiac transplantation. The latter can represent a lifesaving therapeut...
