But what we also know is that when three different studies followed people up prospectively after their third doses and measured what happened to their heart, having just been given a dose, 3% of them had a huge rise in the heart enzyme troponin in their blood, which showed that they had heart damage. So 3% is an enormous figure when you're vaccinating a huge number of healthy people.

So we know that that heart damage was way more than what turned up in hospital. And that what happens when you damage your heart, the cells can't repair themselves. They're gone forever and you get a scar. And of course, the heart has a very delicate electrical system. So any kind of scarring could mean that you short circuit in the future.

And so there is a risk of cardiac arrest forevermore for people who've had myocarditis. And we don't really have a handle on how many people that is and how much of a risk that is. But you would just have sudden cardiac death with no other thing going on. Now, of course, when you have a sudden cardiac death, doctors generally assume it's a heart attack.

And so especially if you're of an age or if you've got other risk factors, they'll say, well, that was just a cardiovascular disease that we see fairly frequently.

And so unless you're doing postmortems and actually really looking into it, those are going to be diagnosed as if they are atherosclerotic, narrowing of the coronary arteries, cutting of the blood supply to the heart, damaging the heart, and then death. And so trying to tease those apart is really impossible with that proper investigation, which hasn't been happening really anywhere in the world.

But we do have evidence that these vaccines cause huge inflammation because of all the circulating spike. There's a lot of inflammation going on in the vascular system. And when you've got inflammation, that is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and narrowing of your heart arteries. So there's a mechanism there for why you would have an acceleration in atherosclerosis.

And then going back to the inflammation in the heart, we don't exactly know how the vaccines were causing that inflammation.

So the kind of regular, the sort of the common myocarditis, well not common, it was always rare, but the myocarditis that we had before these vaccines would be post-viral and you'd have a thing called molecular mimicry where one of the molecules on the virus looks enough like a molecule in the heart that the immune system gets confused and attacks your heart. So that could have happened.

That's potential. The spike has a lot of homology, so a lot of similarity to human protein. So that's a possibility. We've seen in postmortems that the spike protein itself was in the heart muscle. So if you've got this product going in and attacking heart cells directly and expressing a foreign protein, then the immune system is doing its job getting rid of that foreign protein.

It's a terrible idea to give that to people. But the damage to the heart then is just part of that process of getting rid of a cell expressing a foreign protein. But the other thing to understand is that the mechanism, this kind of mRNA, but also potentially the lipid nanoparticles, has been causing problems beyond the COVID vaccines.
