Vyrusmark veldhoen: "Stories will be told of suddenly dropping dead, of terrible illnesses, myocarditis and heart failure."  , true that. Lets jump back to the famous swiss study from 27 July 2023 a few weeks ago, that fell like a meteor. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ejhf.2978  .... and I quote: "Seventh, given the absence of another in-vivo technique with comparable sensitivity to hs-cTnT/I regarding acute cardiomyocyte injury, it remains unknown10:59
Vyrus whether mRNA-1273 vaccine-induced myocardial injury resulted in cardiomyocyte cell death and thereby irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes, or sublethal injury."10:59
Vyrusin absence of another method like troponin measures, it still cannot be confirmed whether mRNA-1273 vaccine-induced myocardial injury resulted in cardiomyocyte cell death, and permanent sublethal injury11:00
