As in OSHA's early recommendation that COVID-19 deaths not be autopsied. As in the Virginia Health Departments refusal, despite the family's request, to autopsy a 58-year-old woman who died within hours of taking the vaccine, because, according to the current version of precognitive "science," "nothing could be gleaned from an autopsy that would relate the vaccine to her death." Or maybe, actually, because "officials inside and outside the health department were concerned the death of Keyes, who is Black, could worsen vaccine hesitancy among minorities." Sometimes, you see, you have to lead the science where you want it to go.
One of the adverse effects that has been noticed is the occurrence of myocarditis and pericarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle or sac), reports of which always emphasize, as a way of dismissing concern, how "rare" it is. Yes, it is rare, especially among children, but the important point is: It is a lot less rare among the vaccinated:
the average monthly number of cases of myocarditis or pericarditis during the pre-vaccine period of January 2019 through January 2021 was 16.9 compared with 27.3 during the vaccine period of February through May 2021 [a 27% increase].
The mean numbers of pericarditis cases during the same periods were 49.1 and 78.8 [a 38% increase].
As Dr. Makary points out, citing the CDC, the risk of hospitalization from vaccine-induced myocarditis (50 per million) is more than 150 times the very rare risk of hospitalization (0.3 per million) from COVID-19 in kids ages 5 to 17 (0.3 per million). A UC study puts boys 12-15 at 4-6 times greater risk of hospitalization with vaccine-caused myocarditis than with Covid. These vaccines have generated more reported cases of myocarditis/pericarditis in 7 months than flu vaccines have in 20 years.
These are not trivial differences. It means there is a whole cohort of people for which the vaccine is more dangerous than Covid. And myocarditis is not a trivial event. It is permanent damage to the heart muscle, which does not regenerate. When a 14-year-old boy gets myocarditis, it changes his life. As his cardiologist put it, critiquing the CDC's minimizing word: "No case of myocarditis is 'mild.' That's like saying a heart attack is mild."
This is the kind of signal that would put a pause, at least, on the approval of any other drug, but are here waived off, with the word "rare," while these pharmaceuticals are forced on everybody. That reaction is not driven by "science."
Myocarditis disproportionately affects boys and men. As Marcie Smith Parenti of the Black Feminist Project points out, in a must-read article (especially, I would think, for leftists concerned with women's health), women are seeing "menstruation-related post-vaccine symptoms [that] are distressing... including "hemorrhagic bleeding lasting more than a month; heavy intermittent bleeding for four months; passing golf-ball size clots of blood; and extreme cramping, serious enough to land one... in the ER."
Of course, we don't know whether these symptoms "might be the harbinger of long-term fertility problems," since "the effects of Covid vaccines on women's health specifically, including the menstrual cycle, were not studied as part of the Emergency Use Authorization process," there are "zero published studies on the effects of Covid vaccines on women's reproductive systems," and we have no idea what the long-term effects of these vaccines are. No wonder, as she says, that "'vaccine hesitancy seems to be especially pronounced among women aged 25-39 "[and] women of color, especially in the South."
All of this is one other thing that, alone, should disqualify any attempt to force women (or anyone) to take these pharmaceuticals. But, as she points out (and as with all reports of adverse events), the media reaction to this "follow[s] a clear pattern: dismissive, trivializing, or hostile headlines and framing are followed deeper into the articles by acknowledgments that something may indeed be wrong."

Both of these sets of symptoms relate to something that has been noticed, and caused confusion ("there's something else going on"), from the outset--that Covid looks to be as much a vascular as a pulmonary disease, with autopsies in July 2020 revealing blood clots in "almost every organ." The curtain was dropped on that discussion, but recent research has given a possible explanation.
