This comes just years after the mandatory government experimental COVID shots. NIH-funded Stanford scientists finally admitted in December 2015 that the experimental vaccines can cause myocarditis. This was especially prevalent in young men who took the COVID shots.
The FDA announced in 2025 that ALL COVID vaccines are linked to “extremely high” risk of myocarditis and long-tern heart damage in young men.
Although, there have no reports linking this latest incident to the COVID shots, we would be remiss if we did not report on the COVID shots likely injured thousands including healthy young men.
