Today’s post on the latest COVID vaccine myocarditis paper gets a big assist from the wicked smart data visualization expert Josh Stevenson (subscribe to his substack!) In August 2021, the CDC began a study to follow-up cases of myocarditis in the age group at highest risk for myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.
Megyn Kelly interviewed a couple who lost their son from “sudden death” 4-5 months after his shot. I know it’s not possible to say the vaccine caused this, but it is very tragic that someone even recommended the shot to him. He had antibodies prior to getting it. He was immune. What can we do to stop this insanity? Thank God my teenagers are unvaxed and immune. I regret recommending this unsafe injection for anyone. If that makes me an antivaxxer, so be it. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-megyn-kelly-show/id1532976305?i=1000579973809
I don't understand why people get all hot and bothered with and over people attempting to attach labels to them.
This is my response:
1. Define your accusation/claim
2. Prove it!
If, invariably, they cannot do neither, especially #2, I demand that they pay me $10m they owed me! Then they shut up knowing what would come after that.
Here was an actual example:
Some people got all excited over Fullermich's gabfest. I asked his ardent supporters on Sub for one concrete achievement of his Committee. One replied "You figure it out."! So I demanded she pay the $10m she owed me. I have not heard from her since!
"The valid, open question is what these scars mean long term. And the best answer is that we don’t know."
I can certainly appreciate that you are speaking from a medical viewpoint of objectivity, Doctor Koka, but as a person with scar tissue resulting from cardiogenic shock, I want to remind you that we already know quite a bit about the effects of dead heart tissue.
Thanks for another interesting and informative essay.
Thank you for this analysis. I am not surprised this paper’s data was not discussed at ACIP. Discussion of myocarditis was delayed until after the EUA was granted for mRNA vaccine use in children. The manipulation of the sharing of pertinent data has been appalling. And thank you for your post script. Anti vaxxer is the new scarlet letter, yet those who sling it are too myopic to realize one can (and should) question the cookie cutter approach and manipulated narrative around mRNA vaccines as a way to assess safety.
Well done piece! Dr. Koka and Josh Stevenson are a dynamic duo and hope to see more such collaborations! Adds to what paul offit and others have cautioned about the current boosters having marginal benefit. And as anyone knows, (I hope) Offit has been a warrior for vaccine literacy and has been so despite death threats ..is he now a science denying anti vaxxer? .. Lysenkoism lives !!
The "anti-vaxx" smear is just like WMD hysteria back in the day, when you were either "with us or with the terrorists". Recall that you simply were not allowed to openly oppose the newspeak construct of "preemptive war" without being deplatformed (Phil Donahue, Jessie Ventura, eg), ignored, or otherwise slandered.
Good luck with your colleagues, Dr. Koka. You're up against a veritable buzz saw.
Thank you for this article. Scary stuff. But, why does heart inflammation occur in young males more often than in others? What is the physiological, immunological, medical explanation for this? Is this known?
Could there be "hidden heart inflammation" or just *unnoticed* heart inflammation in other groups too? Could it be that young males are simply more likely to notice or complain about this particular symptom because of social, psychological or developmental reasons in that group?
Could the heart inflammation problem be more widespread than we currently think?

Great summary, as always. Thanks for your efforts.
