When reports first surfaced in 2021 that some cases of myocarditis â the inflammation of the heart muscle, potentially leading to blood clots and heart attack or stroke â were potentially associated with the Covid-19 vaccine, the corporate media and its fact-checkers were quick to label them as misinformation, saying the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh its small risks.
A year later, though, the media can no longer deny that what they called misinformation actually has data to back it up. As Matt Shapiro detailed in his Substack post on the matter, âLast yearâs misinformation on vaccine-associated myocarditis in young men is this yearâs well-established fact.â
According to Vaccine Safety Datalink surveillance data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted in 2022, within a week of receiving the âDose 2 Primary Seriesâ of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, there were 14 verified cases of myocarditis or pericarditis among the 102,091 males aged 16-17 who got the shot. Among the nearly 206,000 12-15-year-old males who received the same series, 31 cases were confirmed within a week.

These numbers might seem small or meaningless, but in context, they represent a significant departure from last yearâs conventional wisdom pushed by health bureaucrats and parroted by the media: In 2021, the CDCâs reported rates of myocarditis during the 0-7 day ârisk periodâ following vaccination were significantly lower compared to recent numbers.
For instance, in August last year, the CDC reported 42.6 per million cases and 71.5 per million cases for 12-15 and 16-17-year-old males, respectively, but now the health agency admits those incidence rates are actually 150.5 per million for the younger group and 137.1 per million for the older. Among 16- and 17-year-old males, the incidence rate jumps to a whopping 188 per million following the first booster, with 9 of the 47,874 developing heart inflammation in the week after that shot.

While rates from the latest CDC study are â3-5 times higher for young men than what the CDC was reporting this time last year,â other health experts, whom the media discredited, were ahead of the curve. Data from a study conducted by Tracy Hoeg, MD, Ph.D., and others in 2021 aligns with the latest CDC numbers from 2022.
The doctors reported a rate of 94 cases of âcardiac adverse eventsâ per million for 16-17-year-old males and 162 per million for 12-15-year-old males. While this is compatible with the latest CDC study, the corporate media and its fact-checkers labeled it misinformation when it was published last year.
Following the Hoeg studyâs publication, the British Medical Journal claimed critics called the study âdeeply flawedâ and said it delivered âan antivaccine message.â PolitiFact reported that posts about myocarditis risk on Facebook âwere flagged as partâ of the platformâs âefforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.â Big Tech used these so-called fact-checks to censor good-faith Americans, dissenting medical experts, and even lawmakers who questioned the CDCâs vaccinations-for-all narrative.
For example, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., was labeled âfundamentally dangerousâ in his efforts to let Americans discuss adverse reactions they experienced after receiving Covid shots. The Wisconsin senatorâs YouTube channel was also temporarily suspended in November 2021 â for the fifth time â after posting âa video of a panel on vaccine-related injuriesâ that was deemed âCovid misinformation.â Yet adverse effects do occur, as even the CDC has acknowledged, including the aforementioned vaccine-associated myocarditis.
Efforts to quash alternative research prevented members of the public from considering this information, which would have allowed them to make better-informed decisions about the Covid jab for themselves and their children. As Hoeg wrote on Twitter, âIf we hadnât been vilified [sic] as âanti-vaxxersâ spreading âmisâ & âdisinformationâ, how would the conversation around minimizing the chance of this adverse event have changed & how many cases of myo/pericarditis in young males would have been prevented over the last year?â
Concern about myocarditis was not the only Covid-related content to be decried as âmisinformationâ and nuked from the public square though. The corporate media, health bureaucrats, and even President Biden repeated the narrative that Covid vaccines prevent the transmission of the virus. In November 2021, USA Today ran an article stating, âvaccines work against contracting, spreading Covid-19,â fact-checking social media posts that raised concern about âwhether the shots work[ed].â The vaccine-hesitant and those who resisted sweeping mandates were smeared as âanti-vaxxers.â
But as The Federalist reported, the ruling regime was the real purveyor of misinformation. In January 2022, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky finally admitted on CNN that the vaccines canât âprevent transmission.â
Many pandemic concerns that were once labeled misinformation have since proved to be true, such as learning loss due to school closures, the effectiveness of natural immunity, the ineffectiveness of cloth face coverings, and the social and economic harms of mass lockdowns, just to name a few. The ruling class being wrong about myocarditis risk is just the latest in its long list of misinforming the public about whatâs misinformation â to the detriment of free speech, institutional trust, and public health.

The vaccine scam has reached its zenith. Where this “vaccine” isn’t even a vaccine. Booster this, chump!!!
Thanks for covering this vital issue. The deeper you look; the more you will find. There are the c’sand K’s. Con, Cull, Kill, loosely evident even at the start. Covid and a a jab or more. Lungs, heart, and immune system compromised. Have deaths due to all causes surpassed the monthly averages?
