Mainstream Media Continues To Push False ‘COVID Heart’ Narrative To Explain Excess Deaths

  • Mainstream Media Continues To Push False ‘COVID Heart’ Narrative To Explain Excess Deaths
    by Tyler Durden, https://www.zerohedge.com/
    CBS joins the chorus of mainstream media outlets promoting the false narrative that covid is the cause of a sharp increase in excess heart failure deaths around the world.  The concept of “covid heart” has been thoroughly debunked by multiple studies, yet the lie continues to persist because of media disinformation. 
    –
    An early report that set in motion fears of a Covid-heart disease connection was published in JAMA Cardiology on July 27, 2020. German researchers claimed that 78% of recently recovered Covid-19 patients had “abnormal” signs on their cardiac magnetic resonance scans and 60% showed signs of inflamed heart muscle, a condition known as myocarditis. Those astonishing numbers were covered in nearly 400 news outlets. The report has so far been viewed more than 900,000 times — a rarity for academic papers.
    –
    Soon after its publication, however, the paper was criticized for statistical and methodologic errors. It eventually underwent a long but much quieter correction that indicated that many of the abnormalities were only marginally more common among those recovering from Covid-19 than among similar control individuals who had not had Covid-19.
    –
    The assertion of the existence of covid heart serves a useful purpose, however, as it conveniently helps to distract from the very real threat of myocarditis caused by mRNA vaccines.  Studies show a direct connection between covid vaccination, boosters, and risk of heart failure, specifically in younger people.  The corporate media continues to ignore these studies in favor of the covid heart claim.
    –
    The CBS report presents a correlation as proof of causation:  The explosion in heart failure happened in parallel with the pandemic, therefore, they say it “must be covid” that is causing the damage.  But there was one other event that also happened in parallel with the heart failure spike – The introduction of experimental mRNA vaccines which have never been used before.
    –
    In reality, there is no evidence of a significant increase in risk of heart problems from contraction of covid, and there are no studies yet that use unvaccinated people as a control group to determine if vaccines help or hurt a patient’s chances.  Medical officials simply assume that the deaths of younger people are due to them being “less likely” to have been vaccinated.  The complete absence of objective scientific analysis has contributed to a lack of understanding surrounding covid risks versus vaccine risks.  Mainstream outlets have consistently proven they are only interested in repeating establishment positions and protecting the status quo.
    –
    Why don’t medical authorities use unvaccinated people as a control group for their observations?  Why do they continue to promote assumptions rather than definitive evidence?  One can only theorize, but this behavior suggests a desire to hide certain findings and mislead the public rather than uncover the facts.
