#cardiotwitter cardiology fellows! tricuspid atresia - this is when the tricuspid valve didn't form and the right ventricle is small to varying degrees. This can also come with TGA versus normally related great vessels.

Why do we have MRI criteria for myocarditis? To avoid accidentally diagnosing every troponin positive teenager with myocarditis (and cry wolf). You release troponin just from exercise - ; Every soccer player doesn't go home with a myocarditis dx.

Long COVID = negative impact on quality of life. Hospital admission post COVID vaccination = most kids are getting out in less than a week with minimal symptoms.

Do kids get long COVID? And how often? A paediatrician looks at the data

Children can get long COVID, but it seems to be less common than in adults. And they tend to recover quicker.

Yes, vaccine preventable diseases generally don't kill large swaths of the population, otherwise their vaccines might get more praise. However, this ignores the seizures, wiping of immune memory, loss of limb, brain damage, paralysis and many other things...

Many different vaccines need adjuvants to produce a usable immune response (just a fact of life of our really complex immune system). No need to ask someone to commit to a meaningless injection - and adjuvants even enable reduction of vaccine doses sometimes.

5. "A vaccinologist figured out that if you add something horrendously toxic to the vaccine, that your body confuses that toxic product, you add it with the dead antigen, which is the viral particle".Way to pull the emotional strings again @RobertKennedyJr , but that doesn't fly.

6. With the implication that it is "too much", he says "When I was a kid, I only had three vaccines. My kids got 72 vaccines." Today, vaccines are able to actually provide you more protection with less antigens than before .

11. "And it was and that study also said that fewer than 1% of the decline in infectious mortality deaths could be attributed to vaccines." This is another classic antivax tactic of ignoring the damage that occurs that isn't death.

This number is also inflated by reporting the same vaccine being given multiple times, as separate instances. Vaccines scientists have always been looking for ways to decrease undesirable immune responses (example: replacement of DTwP with DTaP).

Vaccines are one of pharma's least profitable products before the advent of the COVID vaccines. However, people who experienced adverse events genuinely deserve to seek medical care and financial compensation.

I can make the strongest pushback on sinus arrhythmia - this is not a matter of opinion, this is a fundamental pediatric cardiology fellow learning point. Sinus arrhythmia is the natural variation in respiratory rate in kids. It is grossly misleading to call this abnormal. (5/9)

4. Now that so many people have had COVID even multiple times, and we do not have a good test to tell between viral myocarditis and COVID vaccine myocarditis, some of the myocarditis could have been COVID viral myocarditis (I hope the viral panel they used excluded COVID).

Even a provax legal professional, @Doritmi , agrees that the current vaccine adverse event compensation program has its downsides .

Serious Vaccine Side Effects Are Rare. Compensation for Those Injuries Shouldn’t Be.

A simple principle: Anyone legitimately harmed by a vaccine should be compensated swiftly and generously. That's not how it works right now, write Arthur L. Caplan and Dorit R. Reiss.
