It was the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that announced two days ago that it had already urged pharmaceutical giants Pfizer-BionTech and Moderna in a letter on tha 17th April to tighten the warning texts on their own Covid vaccines regarding the risks of suffering side effects in the form of inflammation of the heart muscle and inflammation of the pericardium, i e myocarditis and pericarditis..

As I see it, this news is sensational – because not only the US Food and Drug Administration but most responsible health authorities, researchers and doctors have been claiming since 2021 that the Covid vaccines are bombproof and that the side effects are few, mild and quickly transient. This has been a distortion of the truth. For example, AstraZeneca’s and Janssen’s vaccines were stopped in many countries in Europe, including Sweden, already in 2021.

Since last spring, I myself have been reviewing the Covid vaccines in a series of reports here on my blog based on the risks of side effects. For a long time, I have harbored suspicions that responsible politicians and government officials in many countries around the world, including Sweden and the USA, have systematically hidden or downplayed the risks of the Covid vaccines from the public. This is so as not to scare people into stopping getting vaccinated.

I have been alone in Sweden in drawing attention to these ”evasive” risks, but now it seems that I am right. The fact is that a large number of people in different parts of the world – mainly young boys and men aged 12-25 – have suffered from myocarditis and pericarditis after being vaccinated with Pfizer’s and Moderna’s vaccines.

It has been mainly after the second dose of the vaccine that the side effects have become apparent. The symptoms of myocarditis have begun to appear a week after vaccination and have included chest pain, shortness of breath, fever, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, headache, muscle pain, chills, diarrhea, etc.

These side effects, which have affected the most important human organ, the heart, on a limited scale, have been known ever since vaccinations started worldwide in the winter of 2021, but officially the side effects have been downplayed, often even silenced.
What is at stake now is that the US Food and Drug Administration is requesting that Pfizer and Moderna tighten the warning labels on their mRNA vaccines when it comes to boys and young men. So far, the warnings have applied to young men aged 18-24 for Moderna’s vaccine and aged 12-17 for Pfizer’s vaccine. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, the new warning labels will apply to all men aged 16-25 for both types of vaccine.

In other words, these vaccines should not be given to young men of these ages due to the risks. It has been shown that it is primarily boys and younger men who suffer from inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) and inflammation of the heart sac (pericarditis) as side effects of these vaccines. Moderna’s vaccine, which is more potent than Pfizer’s, has been shown to cause most cases of myocarditis/pericarditis.
Myocarditis does not only occur as a side effect of the Covid vaccine. The disease occurs from time to time and is normally caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites or fungi. The inflammation of the heart muscle usually heals on its own, but the disease can sometimes become serious. It is not known how many young men in Sweden suffer from myocarditis each year.

However, I can reveal that my own husband Bosse suffered from myocarditis when he played ice hockey as a teenager.

The fact that almost only young men are affected by myocarditis is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to the male sex hormone testosterone. Young girls are less likely to be affected by myocarditis because the female sex hormone estrogen protects against many diseases. On the other hand, inflammation of the heart muscle occurs more often in women after menopause. This is when the production of the protective estrogen stops.

Back to the US. The strange thing is that the FDA wrote its secret letter to Pfizer and Moderna on April 17th but kept it secret from the American public. It was only two days ago that the letter was made public. It is unknown at the time of writing what Pfizer and Moderna have responded to.

According to the FDA, new warning signals from the agency’s own safety monitoring system are the reason why they are now demanding stricter warnings from Pfizer and Moderna. But that is overestimating their own role in the context. I myself am currently in the middle of a project where I am reviewing a large number of research reports on the side effects of myocarditis and pericarditis.

During the course of the work, it has become apparent that certain prominent doctors in the United States have for several years pointed out the risks of the Covid vaccines Cominarty from Pfizer and Spikewax from Moderna, especially with regard to the risks of myocarditis in young boys and men.

One of the most vocal critics of vaccines in the United States is cardiologist Peter A McCullough . He is world-renowned in his specialty of cardiology (the science of the heart and heart disease). He is also an internal medicine physician and an expert on kidney disease, side effects, and COVID-19. He has received several prestigious awards and honors for his work. He has published at least 1,000 articles in many prestigious medical journals and has been invited as a speaker and expert at numerous medical conferences around the world.

He was already critical when mass vaccinations against Covid-19 began in the US in 2021. He argued, among other things, that there was no need to vaccinate completely healthy people under the age of 50. He immediately made himself unpopular within the medical establishment in the US. As early as 2022, the leadership of the American Board of Internal Medicine decided to strip Peter A McCullough of his medical license as punishment for McCullough’s statements and opinions.
It is still unclear whether this has happened. As recently as last year, he is said to have kept his ID.

This shows how low the ceiling has been for a doctor in the US to be able to oppose the ”correct” opinions without being severely punished. Peter McCullough is therefore likely to be a deterrent for other scientists and doctors in the US when it comes to going against the established truths, in this case the excellence of the vaccines against covid-19. Then they know how it can go. McCullough has certified that he is not a so-called anti-vaxxer, quite the opposite.
What he has criticized is not vaccination itself, but that people should be able to trust that the vaccines are safe and do not cause any serious side effects.

In recent days, I have read several of the studies that Peter McCullough has published recently. These have primarily dealt with the risks of myocarditis/pericarditis for young men from Pfizer’s and Moderna’s vaccines. He has warned in particular about the long-term consequences of, above all, inflammation of the heart muscle. If such inflammation gives rise to scarring of the heart, there is a risk that the person in question will suffer from arrhythmia , i e disturbances in the heart rhythm. In rare cases, arrhythmia can in turn cause heart failure or, in the worst case, cardiac arrest , i.e. sudden death.
It may therefore be a slow chain reaction of various pathological conditions in the heart, and it may take several years before the most serious consequences of the myocarditis are discovered. At that point, perhaps no one will connect the myocarditis with the serious sequelae.

Even though the US Food and Drug Administration is now tightening the requirements for warnings for mRNA vaccines, the same agency has until the very end defended the vaccines and tried to downplay the risks of myocarditis after vaccination with the so-called mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna. The agency has recently said that it does not know whether myocarditis can have any long-term effects on the heart or not.
Even the CDC ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ), which is the American equivalent of the Public Health Agency of Sweden, has continued to claim that both myocarditis and pericarditis are rare side effects and that the diseases ”recover quickly” and that no increased risk of myocarditis has been seen in recent years.
Finally, I would like to add that I will continue my review of the side effects of the Covid vaccines.
