I have heard numerous public health officials state that SARS-CoV-2 infection causes more myocarditis than COVID-19 vaccination. The American College of Cardiology has used this platform as a twisted rationale for giving out COVID-19 vaccines, and in a perverted manner, creating more myocarditis in the population.

If SARS-CoV-2 infection caused myocarditis or inflammation of heart muscle tissue, then it would be seen on autopsy in fatal cases of COVID-19. Poloni et al specifically examined the heart of fatal COVID-19 cases and concluded the virus does not infect the heart.

Poloni TE, Moretti M, Medici V, Turturici E, Belli G, Cavriani E, Visonà SD, Rossi M, Fantini V, Ferrari RR, Carlos AF, Gagliardi S, Tronconi L, Guaita A, Ceroni M. COVID-19 Pathology in the Lung, Kidney, Heart and Brain: The Different Roles of T-Cells, Macrophages, and Microthrombosis. Cells. 2022 Oct 4;11(19):3124. doi: 10.3390/cells11193124. PMID: 36231087; PMCID: PMC9563269.

Another autopsy study of fatal COVID-19 pneumonia by Maccio et al found inflammation of the small capillaries serving the heart called endotheliitis but not the heart muscle tissue itself (no myocarditis shown in Figure 6 panel a). This distinguished COVID-19 from influenza which had no inflammation of blood vessels or heart muscle. But importantly, Maccio did NOT find myocarditis in COVID-19 cases.
