Many of us had never heard of myocarditis before the pandemic, and with good reason, as it’s not a common affliction. Among children 15 and under it’s particularly rare, with fewer than two cases per 100,000, according to a recent study in Finland. Yet since myocarditis is a known side effect of both COVID infections AND the COVID vaccine, the number of myocarditis diagnoses is skyrocketing – so high, in fact, that one New York hospital is even promoting its services for treating myocarditis.
Jimmy and The Dive’s Jackson Hinkle wonder not only at the increased prevalence of myocarditis, but also at our cultural propensity to tell all children they’re “amazing.”
