They’re Running Pediatric Myocarditis Ads Now.

Apparently, healthy children getting heart damage is the new normal. It’s so normal, in fact, that now hospitals are running ads about it so you know what some of the less obvious symptoms might be so you can seek treatment from medical providers.

Watch this 30 second ad by New York-Presbyterian Hospital about Suri, a young girl who wants to be a fashion designer, and who is still able to do so because her myocarditis was diagnosed and treated following a severe stomach ache, which was actually a symptom of heart damage.

The ad is basically explaining to the general population that myocarditis in children can present with a terrible stomach ache, which many likely didn’t know and certainly wouldn’t guess. If you read between the scripted lines of the ad, the message here is that if your seemingly healthy kid gets a really terrible stomach ache, don’t ignore it as gas or a ploy to get out of school because it could actually be that their heart is inflamed.

In related news, CDC Director Walensky recently did an interview with Chris Jansing on MSNBC discussing the “messaging” of vaccinating and boosting healthy children. During the interview, Jansing cited Dr. Paul A. Offit, MD, who is the Director of the Vaccine Education Center and an attending physician in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, as well as being on an FDA advisory board. Dr. Offit recently said that “a healthy young person is unlikely to benefit” from getting a COVID booster, explaining that “we are not going to have clinical studies” and “you’d like to have at least some human data.” He stated that “if there’s not clear evidence of benefit, it’s not fair to ask people to take a risk, no matter how small. The benefit should be clear.” FYI, the FDA’s website confirms that the Pfizer booster approval relied on “the final study evidence from ‘8 mice,'” and that the Moderna version relied on final evidence from “8-10 mice,” but that human trials are still “ongoing” for both. You bet they are.

Dr. Offit didn’t even recommend that his own son get boosted, explaining to The Atlantic that “getting boosted would not be worth the risk for the average healthy 17-year-old boy,” and that he felt his 20 year old son was sufficiently protected. It would not be worth the risk of what, Dr. Offit?

And yet, despite all this, Walensky explained to Jansing on MSNBC that the CDC is “simplifying our message. The message is, you need to get your fall booster vaccine. So go ahead and get it. If you’re over the age of 12, if you’ve received your primary series, if you’re more than 2 months out of your last shot, you can get an updated vaccine.”

And when spring rolls around, she’ll say that you need to get your spring booster. And when the summer rolls around, she’ll say that you need to get your summer booster. And I wonder if Pfizer will have come out with a fancy new (expensive) medication to deal with pediatric heart disease by that time…

So now, let’s pull a Jen Psaki and circle back to the beginning of this article, wherein I posted a new ad informing the public of the potential symptoms of pediatric myocarditis. And I’ll leave it at that.
