🇹🇭Stunning prospective study from Thailand
Of 301 13-18 year olds following dose 2 pfizer
18% had abnormal EKG post vax
3.5% (7/202) males & 0 females developed myoperi/peri or subclinical myocarditis, 2 were hospitalized w/1 being observed in the ICU preprints.org/manuscript/202…
*stunning*=3.5% rate of myoper/peri or sublinical myocarditis
The ECGs: here is the table of the causes of "abnormal". I was certainly not trying to imply all abnormal ecgs are concerning & I wish the authors had included the baseline ECG results, which they state they performed
I have written to the corresponding author, Dr. Mansanguan, to get baseline ECG findings and will update if/when I hear back.

This Qatari study found vax effectiveness of 2 doses of Pfizer against omicron wanes to around only 10% after 4-6 months!
Why would we mandate this to attend school? nature.com/articles/s4146…
🇩🇰 Child vax rec from Denmark:
"Children only very rarely get seriously ill from the omicron variant...from July 1st, it will no longer be possible for children <18 to get their 1st dose & from Sept 1st they will no longer be able to get their 2nd dose" sst.dk/da/corona/vacc…
This is in alignment with the announcement fro the head of the Danish Ministry of Health @SSTbrostrom stating June 22nd 2022 that, looking back, it was "a mistake" to vaccinate children against Covid-19
It goes on to say that children who are felt to be at especially high risk will have the possibility of being vaccinated after individual assessment by a physician.
I do agree with @j_g_allen that children should not have school quarantines, testing or masking, but there are a few statements in this article I found problematic/misleading re
-school masking
-vaccines
-covid risk to children & MISC
I discuss below
🧵 nytimes.com/2022/08/04/opi…
He states "the value of [mask] mandates drops over time". This implies school based mask mandates have a value, which mutiple studies (from Spain, Finland, Fargo, ND and reanalysis of CDC data) have now failed to find, so this statement is speculative if not misleading.
This hospitalization rate for kids should be adjusted for incidental hospitalizations with not for covid. According to RI data, incidental admissions make up around 57% of pediatric covid admissions (per @ifihadastick's analysis
Alright, here you go:
In LA county, pediatric covid cases made up a LARGER fraction of the total cases (33.9%) DURING the school mask mandate than AFTER (22.6%)
Don't be fooled by the numbers presented yesterday (see🧵)
I made the beautiful graph & @AChandra_TO pulled the numbers
The numbers presented yesterday look at number of outbreaks rather than cases and were used as evidence masks "work" (aka "fact")
But outbreaks not only fail to look at total numbers but are confounded by masked students not being considered close contacts
More censorship, which was an impetus for listening to this incredible interview:
Anthropologist Peter Aaby describes his research of measles in Ginea-Bissau: inoculum dose & non-specific effects of the measles vaccine-unrelated to measles-were discovered
Absurd to censor this!🧵
Just to give you a brief intro, Dr. Aaby describes how they determined the high measles mortality rate in Ginea-Bissau was more likely related to number of exposures (or total dose) in a child's house and not malnutrition as previously thought.
He then discusses how the initial measles vaccine had a mortality benefit that exceeded what was expected from just eliminating measles mortality, the reason for which, as far as I understand, is still not fully known.
If the best study we have (Hong Kong) says post-vax dose 2 myocarditis occurs in 1/2680 12-17 yo boys
& Nordic & French studies say myocarditis post moderna is 3.3-3.7x more common than pos Pfizer, that would give a post dose 2 moderna myo rate of 1/724-812 in 12-17 yo males 🧵
Why is the @US_FDA not concerned about this? Where is the risk-benefit calculation for this group? What evidence do we have healthy children, most of whom have been infected, should even get one dose? I have been asking this for well over a year now, but now... Moderna approved?
