[quote]We know officials have lied about the vaccine. We know pressure has been put on media outlets to shut down unfavorable reports about covid vaccines. And yet we are seeing such an alarming increase in the deaths of young athletes and medical professionals linked to sudden onsets of myocarditis and other vaccine-related side effects that we should ignore the popular hype and dig deeper into what is really happening that may not be given fair audience in the public media.

This is worth raising alarms and advocating for further investigations:

Funeral Embalmer: 85% of Dead Bodies Now Have Strange Blood Clots Since COVID-19 Vaccine Roll-outs (exposingtheirlies.com)[/quote]

There's a LOT to unpack here. Let's start with
[quote]We know officials have lied[/quote]
Yeah, EIGHT officials from the Trump admin were convicted of LYING UNDER OATH about their connections with Russia. But you still believe the Trumpsters. LYING doesn't actually matter to you. And - this is important - nobody lied about the vaccine. They reported what the data said at the time. When conditions in the field change, reports and recommendations change. Nobody lied about the vaccine. Dr Birx said in hindsight she should have focused more on reducing hospitalizations and deaths. She never said anyone lied. Hindsight gave her a better PR strategy; nothing more.

Actually, no, we don't know that at all. That's another unsubstantiated right-wing conspiracy theory. Nice try!!

[quote]such an alarming increase in the deaths of young athletes[/quote]
This claim, too, has been debunked. The evidence points to a small DROP in deaths of young athletes.

This article, "FIFA Sudden Death Registry (FIFA-SDR): a prospective, observational study of sudden death in worldwide football from 2014 to 2018"
says 617 FIFA players died of SCD within an hour of playing over a 5 year period = 123 per year (2014-2018).

And this article says about 108 died in 2021 - a [b][i]reduction[/i][/b] in the FIFA death rate after vaccination!!

Note: I'm making no statistical claims about the drop in FIFA deaths during the 2021 vaccination year; merely pointing out how wrong the anti-vaxxers got it.

[quote]sudden onsets of myocarditis[/quote]
Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) is SEVEN TIMES more common after Covid than after vaccine.

If you're worried about myocarditis, you are FAR safer taking the vaccine.

META studies of myocarditis!
[b]https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcvm.2022.951314/full[/b]
[quote]A total of 763 studies were screened. The exclusion process yielded 22 studies conducted in eight countries and three WHO regions. The baseline characteristics of the studies included in the meta-analysis are presented in Table 1. Included studies consisted of 58 million persons, with 55.5 million in the vaccination cohort and 2.5 million in the infection cohort (Table 1). Overall, median age was 49 years (interquartile range (IQR): 38–56), and 49% (IQR: 43–52%) were men.

. . .

This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis and the largest study to date of acute myocarditis after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination or infection that estimate the risk ratio of myocarditis due to SARS-CoV-2 infection vs. COVID-19 vaccination. We found that the risk of myocarditis increased by a factor of 2 and 15 after vaccination and infection, respectively. This translates into more than a 7-fold higher risk in the infection group compared to the vaccination group. [/quote]

PS, most vaccine myocarditis cases clear up in 2 or 3 weeks. Covid myocarditis can last 2 to 3 MONTHS
[b]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8890406/[/b]
[sep] Initial reports based on magnetic resonance imaging studies showed 78% of patients with myocardial abnormalities and 60% with ongoing myocarditis 2 to 3 months after COVID-19 infection.[sep]

That's a lot of verbiage here, but the takeaway messages are clear.
(1) When CDC recommendations change, it's because DATA and CONDITIONS change. It's not "lying;" it's responding to newer better data.

(2) There's no evidence of higher death rates among young athletes. People making that claim failed to compare with baseline death rates. In short, they cherry-picked.

(3) It's true that overall the vaccines increased rates of myocarditis by a factor of 2. However, Covid infection increased rates of myocarditis by a factor of 15! I'm sorry that the vaccine isn't perfect, but the fact remains - the vaccine is FAR FAR safer than facing Covid unprotected.

You've also reported claims by a funeral embalmer. This post is long enough, so I'll deal with that in a separate post. I'll just mention here you are comparing reports of a single funeral embalmer vs a nation full of medical examiners with MD degrees and access to patient health histories plus hospital reports. Did you know Covid infection can ALSO cause blood clots??

Don't worry, I'm gonna have fun picking that embalmer's claim apart too!!!
