A Stanford study explains that myocarditis, a rare heart inflammation linked to COVID-19 vaccines, is caused by immune proteins CXCL10 and IFN-gamma. The research suggests that targeted immune modulation could reduce risk, especially in young males, without compromising vaccine benefits. The overall safety of COVID vaccines remains high, with myocarditis being a very rare side effect.
Recent studies suggest that Covid-19 infection in children may pose a higher risk of rare heart problems compared to the risk associated with vaccination, highlighting the importance of monitoring and understanding these health impacts.
Vitamin D toxicity can cause a range of symptoms including nausea, dehydration, nervous system effects, kidney problems, and heart issues, highlighting the importance of monitoring vitamin D intake to prevent serious health risks.

A claim that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines "dramatically increase" the risk of certain heart problems is false. The claim was based on a research abstract that was corrected in 2021 by having all of the language used in the post and its conclusion removed. The abstract did not have any data about myocardial T-cell infiltration, which is a marker necessary for a myocarditis diagnosis. It also relied on anecdotal evidence without being clear about it, and it lacked statistical analyses for significance, which is the standard needed to prove cause and effect. The revised title of the abstract reflects the inability to make a cause-and-effect finding. The only statistically significant correlation connecting COVID-19 vaccines to heart issues is an increased risk of myocarditis in young men, which is less than the risk of developing myocarditis after contracting COVID-19.
