How Myocarditis Became the Silent Scandal of COVID-19 Vaccination
By Justin Hart | Rational Ground | September 20, 2023
It started slowly at first – a trickle of concerning reports that something wasn’t right. In January 2021, just weeks after the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, cases of myocarditis began cropping up.
Myocarditis – inflammation of the heart muscle – had never been linked to vaccines before. So when 28 cases were reported to the U.S. vaccine adverse event reporting system (VAERS) [1] that month, it raised eyebrows.
By February, the trickle had become a stream. VAERS received 64 more reports, including two deaths [2]. Then in March, Israel [3] and the military [4] started reporting cases too.
Something strange was going on. But the authorities ignored it.
In March, the FDA authorized the Johnson & Johnson vaccine without a whisper of myocarditis [5]. The CDC soon recommended it for all adults [6]. Colleges and businesses started mandating the shots [7]. It was full speed ahead.
Behind closed doors though, alarm bells were ringing. The CDC met with the military to discuss the myocarditis cases in young troops [8]. Israel was reporting dozens of cases, including in teenagers [9]. The FDA knew from Pfizer that there were nearly 60 cases already in its database [10].
But in public, it was denial and dismissal. The CDC director claimed she wasn’t aware of any military cases [11]. Pfizer hid its database numbers [12]. And the FDA rubber stamped authorization of the Pfizer vaccine for teenagers in May without a mention of myocarditis [13].
As myocarditis reports flooded into VAERS in the hundreds during the summer [14], young, healthy people continued being pressured to get vaccinated. Mandates rolled out across the country [15]. The authorities told the public the benefits outweighed the risks [16].
But patients started sharing their stories of being hospitalized with heart problems after vaccination [17]. Researchers began publishing case reports in medical journals [18]. And still, the CDC publicly downplayed concerns [19].
Behind closed doors, officials strategized about monitoring the alarming reports [20]. They expanded the criteria for identifying myocarditis cases [21]. More hospitals confirmed seeing unusual cases in vaccinated youths [22].
In June, the FDA quietly added warnings about myocarditis to the vaccine fact sheets [23]. The news dripped out slowly that CDC advisers now acknowledged a “likely association” [24].
But the full scope remained obscured. The authorities clung to the narrative that benefits outweighed risks [25]. They used incomplete data and rosy assumptions to claim the vaccines were still worth it for young people [26].
Millions of teenagers continued getting pressured to get vaccinated throughout the summer and fall [27]. It became painfully clear that the drive for widespread vaccination took precedence over transparency and caution.
It wasn’t until October 2021 that the warnings were taken more seriously. Nordic countries limited the Moderna vaccine due to myocarditis concerns [28]. The FDA and CDC were forced to address the risks more openly in meetings [29].
But still, they pushed ahead with expanding the shots to younger ages [30]. Five-year-olds started getting vaccinated in November despite a complete lack of safety data [31]. Booster doses were promoted for teenagers against the advice of their European counterparts [32].
The evidence continued piling up into 2022 that the vaccines were inflaming hearts [33]. Young people, almost all male, were suffering severe outcomes [34]. The FDA fully approved the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines with scarcely a mention of myocarditis [35].
Regulators around the world scaled back recommendations for boosters in young people as more safety signals emerged [36]. But the U.S. charged ahead, even permitting a fourth dose before any trial data was available [37].
Three years and over 1,600 confirmed VAERS reports later [38], the CDC finally admitted publicly that the mRNA vaccines cause myocarditis [39]. But authorities continue maintaining the stance that benefits outweigh risks across all groups [40].
Yet as researchers report finding heart abnormalities months later [41], it’s unclear if the full scope of risks is known. Some experts argue society lost sight of “first, do no harm” in the rush to vaccinate an entire population against COVID-19 [42].
Why were the early warning signs dismissed? How many ended up harmed from ignored or hidden signals [43]? And why does debate about vaccine prudence remain taboo despite mounting evidence condemning overly broad immunization policies [44]?
This story is far from over. As more studies probe long-term effects and deaths possibly caused by vaccine-induced myocarditis [45], questions will continue swirling.
The families forever changed want accountability. Recognition that mass vaccination programs failed to uphold informed consent [46]. And assurances that blindly “following the science” won’t again take precedent over individuals’ health [47].
Myocarditis turned out to be the tip of the iceberg when it came to underestimated vaccine risks [48]. Only time will tell the full scope of lives upended and lost in the race to inoculate the world [49].

How the CIA hid their MKULTRA mind-control program
By Jon Rappoport | No More Fake News | September 17, 2021
Back in the early 1990s, I spoke with John Marks, author of Search for the Manchurian Candidate. This was the book (1979) that helped expose the existence and range of the infamous CIA MKULTRA program.
Marks related the following facts to me. He had originally filed many Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests for documents connected to the CIA’s mind-control program. He got nothing back.
Finally, as if to play a joke on him, someone at the CIA sent Marks 10 boxes of financial and accounting records. The attitude was, “Here, see what you can do with this.”
I’ve seen some of those records. They’re very boring reading.
But Marks went through them, and lo and behold, he found he could piece together MKULTRA projects, based on the funding data.
Eventually, he assembled enough information to begin naming names. He conducted interviews. The shape of MKULTRA swam into view. And so he wrote his book, Search for the Manchurian Candidate.
He told me that three important books had been written about MKULTRA, and they all stemmed from those 10 boxes of CIA financial records. There was his own book; Operation Mind Control by Walter Bowart; and The Mind Manipulators by Alan Scheflin and Edward Opton. … continue
