I would be interested in hearing some more personal anecdotes that might tie into this theme. Seems to me I read somewhere about adolescent males having been documented with some kind of heart issues from the pandemic, though it could have been the COVID infection not the vaccine.

On February 13 of 2021 I got the first Pfizer COVID vaccine, followed on March 6 by the second. Then sometime early in August I had the first sign of bradycardia when I sedately fell over backwards onto my ottoman, was « out » for a few seconds, picked myself up and took off for my dentist appointment.

I’m not sure you need an M.D. or even a Ph.D to put together anecdotal evidence in the form of case studies. Not that it would prove anything.

But it could.

Some adolescent males were experiencing myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle after getting Covid-19. Myocarditis can be caused by viral infections, but occurred at higher rates in those who had Covid. Rate was higher for those under 16 and over 50, with higher occurrence in males than females.
