The Claim:
Another new study seems to suggest that myocarditis after vaccination is, indeed, self-resolving.
The Facts:
The most recent study published in the Lancet is confirming what many cardiologists and pediatricians have noticed anecdotally in their practices; that myocarditis stemming from COVID vaccination seems to be minor and self-resolving.
This study looked at adolescents and young adults who experienced myocarditis post-vaccination. Of those with available data, most (between 77and 94%, depending on test/marker) had improvements in cardiac diagnostic marker and testing data at 90 days, and of all study participants, 68% were completely cleared for physical activity after 90 days.
Taken along with this study published Monday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, the risks of myocarditis from COVID far outweigh the risks of myocarditis from COVID vaccines.
