> The news coverage I'm reading That's the real problem here. Turning off the TV and stopping reading the news, crafted precisely to generate anxiety, is the solution. It will probably be a nothingburger, but the media need something to divert from the "mysterious" heart attacks. Remember, two years ago covid was presented as a very deadly virus and it turned out to be only dangerous for a very specific and small segment of the population (70+ yo and obese people).

It's an article trying to pass a known side effect of the mRNA medication (myocarditis) as stemming from the virus. Also it's from the press of an authoritarian country that is deporting people into camps...

    a) So you’re saying hundreds of millions of people are going to die suddenly over the next 2 years from flu and “medical conditions”. Be curious to see the studies on this looming catastrophe. b) Australia is not an authoritarian country by any definition and ABC News is highly respected as an independent news source.

And let’s not forget that the CDC themselves previously estimated that only 6% of the COVID deaths were due to COVID. The rest died with COVID.
