I did not get my then, 12 year old son the Covid shots once I heard about the problems with teen and young male heart problems after the shots. My son already has a heart defect and didn’t want to add any problems. He got the infection 2 times but no shots.
My understanding is the spike protein in the shots and infection damage endothelial cells throughout the body and can affect blood vessels/tissues and lung tissues. This can lead to feelings of difficulty breathing. Within a short time after my 2nd Pfizer shot, I had extreme difficulty breathing and then had 3 episodes within 2-3 months had chest pain and come to find out later, these were actually heart attacks. I am female and was 52 at the time.
