Terrible headline is an outright lie.
The study, which is a pre-print that hadn’t been reviewed yet, claims that they saw higher rates of suspected temporary cardiac issues than hospitalizations due to COVID.
Those same temporary cardiac issues that largely resolve on their own are a well-known side effect after COVID and even flu infections.
They didn’t compare to any risk of COVID infections, which included myocarditis. They only looked at COVID hospitalizations as the control group, which doesn’t make any sense as we know it’s not the only risk of COVID.
It doesn’t make any sense that they compared apples to oranges in the study, but the headline writers are pouring gas on the fire by pretending it was apples-to-apples.
I can’t believe these blatant anti-vax headlines are now basic Guardian headlines.
