The Claim:
Are there long-term risks from myocarditis after COVID vaccination?
The Facts:
Many are taking announcements by vaccine manufacturers to study the long-term effects of post-vaccination myocarditis as proof that those long-term effects exist, but in reality, this kind of research is really routine. And anyone assuming the outcomes of the studies is really getting ahead of themselves. (Because the studies are starting, the conclusions are not in.)
But currently, the CDC is reporting that “Preliminary data from surveys conducted at least 90 days after the myocarditis diagnosis showed most patients were fully recovered from their myocarditis.”
