I suffered with recurring pericarditis in 2021. In my case I was never vaccinated but got Covid-19 in December 2020. I got very sick but I recovered on my own. Then in February 2021 I started having pericarditis symptoms which would come and go until they got bad enough to take me to emergency where I was diagnosed. I have always wanted evidence supporting that this came from Covid. Thankfully I recovered from it and thankfully I was never vaccinated. I appreciate every bit of evidence that supports what happened to me. Thank you.

The horror never stops. I recall a Thai study early on that also found that almost all of their cohort suffered overt or subtle heart damage after the mRNA injections

Were you surprised that the odds ratios for this heart condition were roughly the same from having COVID and getting the vaccine?

"Multivariable analysis revealed that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was independently associated with roughly doubled odds of pericardial abnormalities (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.29–3.35, P = 0.003), comparable to the risk from COVID-19 infection itself (OR 1.99, P = 0.012)."

Children's Health Defense Fund action alert for passing the GRACE Act, which would withhold Federal funding from states... that do not allow religious exemptions from vaccines for school children.

Worth noting that this was for patients being treated by cardiologists, not a random sample of the population. It would be very interesting to see the results of imaging studies on a random sample of the population during that period. The early Thai study that Trying Hard referred to was more randomized though still restricted to a specific group, and did not including imaging for all subjects. It showed elevated troponin levels in a number of boys, as I recall.
