Stanford Scientists Show How Covid Shots Cause Deadly Heart Damage
Scientists at Stanford University have shown how the mRNA Covid vaccines can cause deadly damage to heart cells in new research published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. The Mail has more.
Experts have long sounded the alarm over myocarditis, an extremely rare complication of the vaccine that causes inflammation of the heart muscle.
Data show about one in 125,000 children and adults under 65 who were vaccinated against the virus between 2023 and 2024 developed the condition. Among men and boys under 25 years old, however, the rate rose to one in 250, or 475 per 125,000. [Erm, that’s not “extremely rare”.]
In the study, researchers analysed the blood of patients who received the vaccine and those who suffered from myocarditis after being inoculated.
They found that people who suffered from the rare side-effect had elevated levels of two immune system-linked proteins in their blood.
Subsequent experimentation in mice then showed that these proteins prompted neutrophils (a type of immune cell that is the first responder to damage) to infiltrate the heart muscle, causing damage to the tissue via inflammation.
Doctors say the complication is normally mild and eases on its own without treatment. In severe cases, however, it can cause hospitalisation or death, although officials say no fatalities from the condition stemming from the Covid vaccine have been recorded in the US to date. [A recording problem, perhaps?]
The CDC warns that an infection with the Covid virus can also cause myocarditis, suggesting the benefits of vaccination may still outweigh the risks. About 21 per 100,000 people suffer from the complication after a Covid infection, according to a 2022 study from Italy. [But vaccines don’t prevent infection…]
The paper comes amid renewed focus on the risks of Covid vaccines, after the Director of the FDA’s vaccine division, Dr Vinay Prasad, told staff in a memo late last month that there had been “no fewer than 10” child deaths “related” to the Covid vaccine.
His comments were based on data from the agency’s VAERS, or the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, a voluntary database for reporting vaccine side-effects. Anyone can submit a report to the system, and the reports do not prove that a shot caused a complication.
The FDA has said it is now conducting a thorough investigation into reports of deaths in both children and adults that are thought to be linked to the Covid vaccine.
About 270 million people in the US, or 81% of the population, have received at least one dose of the mRNA Covid vaccine to date. …
In the study, published yesterday in Science Translational Medicine, scientists analysed in the lab the blood of people who received the Covid vaccine.
In those who also developed myocarditis, the researchers found higher levels of two proteins, CXCL10 and IFN-gamma.
These are cytokines, proteins released by immune cells that can prompt inflammation.
In a lab test, researchers then placed macrophages, a type of white blood cell, into petri dishes filled with the Covid mRNA vaccine, and found that the cells released CXCL10.
They then placed T-cells, a type of immune cell, into those same petri dishes and found they released high amounts of IFN-gamma.
When the T-cells were placed into petri dishes that only contained the vaccine, however, the researchers found they only released standard amounts of IFN-gamma.
This showed that, in some cases, macrophages may be triggered by Covid vaccines and then cause other immune cells, T-cells, to also be activated.
In a further test, the researchers then inoculated young adult male mice with the Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine and, after a few days, examined the animals’ heart muscle.
It showed that their hearts had been infiltrated by neutrophils, which researchers said showed how inoculations may cause heart damage.

Worth reading in full.
Of course, by only counting the diagnosed cases rather than pro-actively testing for signs of injury the researchers missed large numbers of cases, possibly by an order of magnitude (factor of 10) based on studies from Thailand and Switzerland. And the Mail article predictably plays down the risk, calling it “extremely rare” despite the study itself finding that one in every 250 young males was affected. But we ought to recognise the tight editorial constraints mainstream outlets like the Mail operate under, with a regulator ready to pounce on any perceived ‘anti-vax’ notions slipping through the net. So credit to the paper for running the story at all.

“Extremely rare” – a bit like healthy young people suffering any serious consequences from “covid”?
Match at Charlton was abandoned after a spectator had a medical emergency – died later – which is something I do not recall ever happening prior to Covid and the vax.
That has been happening lot
Wasn’t Matt Le Tissier cancelled for saying on air that in all his time playing professional football he had never seen a health related match stoppage on the pitch or among the spectators.
Please also consider the amount of “soft tissue injuries” ie hamstrings/calves etc. suffered by pro footballers since covid jab.
Oh for a whistleblower at a top pro club to the blow the whistle on this!
Jabbed v unjabbed footballers – who suffers the most?
Micro clots anyone?
There were several Premiership players struck down during the autumn of 21. Erikson, went down playing for Denmark. Watching MoD during those few months virtually every game had a time out due to a ‘medical emergency’ on the pitch or in the stands.
Trevor Sinclair & Matt LeTissier both got booted out for noticing.
In addition Gaelic footballers, hockey players, horse riders, basketball players, incidents in all these sports.
Very rarely seen before or since.
“Cytokine storm” was forecasted by quite a few doctors and scientists who had become aware of the scam from the early days. Nobody is going to kid me that Gates and co didn’t deliberately knock these “vaccines” up with these built in “problems.” As I used to put it in the early days these “vaccines” were built to a recipe and the harms were literally “baked in.”
I don’t give a toss that newspapers fear a pouncing regulator. These journalists, editors and proprietors know information is available that discredited lockdowns, social distancing, masks and vaccines yet they chose to either not publish or downplay. They are complicit in the lies and deception and so deserve to be held to account.
It’s going to take a lot to convince me that “COVID causes myocarditis”. It only came out as such AFTER they confirmed that the stabs were causing issues. And much like Chinese whispers, the sources are buried, reworded, parroted and concealed.
Sounds like everything they do, from “climate crises” to “multiculturalism”.
Bunch of twats.
Moderna holds the spike protein patent from 2016, that was what ended up in the “vaccines” and the putative virus.
We also know that Drosten’s PCR recipe was over 85% likely to identify viral DNA and was concocted and peer-reviewed very rapidly, the latter in about 23 hours it seems.
There is still a stinking fish at the core of this whole sad tale, and many of those that held their noses are still allowed to walk among us without sanction.
Disgusting.
There has been no shortage of blatant lying to promote it’s use. If you tried advertising some other product like that, you’d be prosecuted. Anyway, I’m glad I declined the offer along the lines of it being too early and not properly validated.
A follow on question is whether it is an inherent risk of any type of mRNA drug, or just limited to that which they incorporated in the C19 one? They have been attempting to use that method, perhaps to enhance the financial performance of such pharmaceutical products, and it may be that being granted Emergency Use Authorisation was like a Christmas present.
A simple, straightforward and safe position to take is to 100% refuse to have ANY jab based on, or utilising or developed from, the mRNA technology. Problem solved.
Heart attacks have been associated with both flu and covid jabs. To obscure this fact, follow-up “scientific” studies (most funded by the Pharmas) admit the link, but they add: “The benefits outweigh the risks”. Their reassurance however failed to convince Front Line NHS Workers who 9 in 10 refuse to have the flu jab (Health Service Journal). What is it they know and we don’t?
By no means is this a revelation.
Sucharit Bhakdi and Seneff et al amongst others.

A problem that anybody who raised concerns faced was being barred from practising their profession. For example, Peter A. McCullough (in your et al) met this hurdle, and Stephanie came in for a barrage of smears. It’s very difficult to promote a dissenting conclusion when your salary depends on not suppressing it.
Finally it is out in the open. The mRNA covid shots cause myocarditis. Paul Offit ex ACIP member said it was a “small price to pay” for the young men affected. Such careless statements like these should NEVER even be thought much less uttered by one of the “experts” who sat on the ACIP.
Might have been nice if they’d found all this out before injecting the gunk into millions of people who didn’t need it.
Instead they experimented on billions …. and have killed and injured millions.
