Fox News correspondent and America Reports co-anchor John Roberts has publicly acknowledged that he developed pericarditis, inflammation of the lining around the heart, after his third COVID-19 shot, and that the condition worsened after he took a fourth dose.
The startling disclosure appeared in a newly circulated video clip, with Roberts recounting the sequence in his own words.
After years of mandates, booster campaigns and lectures from Washington’s so-called experts, another prominent media figure is now publicly describing a serious medical condition that arose following vaccination.
And the history here is impossible to ignore.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported in October 2021 that Roberts deleted a post questioning the long-term effectiveness of COVID vaccines following Colin Powell’s breakthrough infection and death.
After receiving immediate backlash, Roberts defended the vaccines and declared: “I plan to get a booster as soon as possible.”
Now Roberts says pericarditis developed after his third shot and worsened after the fourth.
“I remember when I got the boosters, I developed pericarditis, and then that went away. Then, when I had the second booster, it came roaring back again. So, you know, the body reacts differently to these things depending on who you are,” Roberts said.
WATCH:
The admission, circulating widely from on-air comments and related discussion, lands years after federal officials and corporate media spent 2021–2022 aggressively pushing mRNA boosters while downplaying or delaying clear warnings about myocarditis and pericarditis risks.
Roberts, who has previously disclosed heart issues including a pacemaker implanted in early 2022 and later treatment for atrial fibrillation that he linked in part to “that whole COVID thing,” described the inflammation appearing after the third shot and intensifying following the fourth. He has taken four doses total.
