Doctor Says Myocarditis Was a ‘Very, Very Small Price to Pay’ for the COVID Vaccine – Twitchy

Back in October of 2021, Sweden and Denmark suspended the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for younger age groups because of “signals of an increased risk of side effects such as inflammation of the heart muscle.” Finland joined Sweden and Denmark in limiting the use of the vaccine with younger age groups. In 2023, Sen. Rand Paul asked Moderna CEO and Director Stéphane Bancel about the public being kept largely in the dark about possible side effects of the Moderna vaccine, like myocarditis in adolescent boys. We even did a post on one mother who posted about her boosted 15-year-old son being hospitalized with myocarditis and said it was still better than catching COVID.

Finally, in March of 2024, the most transparent administration in history released the CDC’s report on the link between the COVID vaccine and myocarditis:

The CDC “released” a 148 page study on myocarditis after COVID-19 “vaccination” and every single page is completely redacted. This must be a new record. https://t.co/kIE2s7Wl2z pic.twitter.com/M6xDbRYMZx

Now, in response to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dr. Paul Offit said that myocarditis was “a very, very small price to pay” for the COVID vaccine.

Dr. Paul Offit says RFK Jr. picked the “wrong vaccine” to call unsafe.

Hard to believe he said this out loud.

Wow. “Myocarditis is a small price to pay…”. It is a permanent heart injury.

Omg this hack is lying or just stupid. A small price to pay? He must be an investor. How many shots did he take?

Lethal heart disease is never a good trade off.

Offit is one of the propagandizers that should be charged with crimes against humanity.

It’s not a “small price to pay” for those who die from it. Especially considering they would most likely have survived COVID.

“Effective” for a tiny subset of the population

Useless for 99%

President Joe Biden had every booster available and still tested positive for COVID-19 three times, after assuring us you couldn’t pass along the virus if you had the vaccine.

Try telling that to my neighbor who lost her 14 year old son to myocarditis.
I have a long list of people who died soon after
