The Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day.
Steven R Gundry, the cardiologist turned dietician of Plant Paradox fame, has published an abstract in Circulation, an American Heart Association journal, claiming that the mRNA vaccines cause massive and serious heart issues following the second dose.
Here is the abstract posted in full:
Our group has been using the PLUS Cardiac Test (GD Biosciences, Inc, Irvine, CA) a clinically validated measurement of multiple protein biomarkers which generates a score predicting the 5 yr risk (percentage chance) of a new Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The score is based on changes from the norm of multiple protein biomarkers including IL-16, a proinflammatory cytokine, soluble Fas, an inducer of apoptosis, and Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) which serves as a marker for chemotaxis of T-cells into epithelium and cardiac tissue, among other markers. Elevation above the norm increases the PULS score, while decreases below the norm lowers the PULS score. The score has been measured every 3-6 months in our patient population for 8 years. Recently, with the advent of the mRNA COVID 19 vaccines (vac) by Moderna and Pfizer, dramatic changes in the PULS score became apparent in most patients. This report summarizes those results. A total of 566 pts, aged 28 to 97, M:F ratio 1:1 seen in a preventive cardiology practice had a new PULS test drawn from 2 to 10 weeks following the 2nd COVID shot and was compared to the previous PULS score drawn 3 to 5 months previously pre- shot. Baseline IL-16 increased from 35=/-20 above the norm to 82 =/- 75 above the norm post-vac; sFas increased from 22+/- 15 above the norm to 46=/-24 above the norm post-vac; HGF increased from 42+/-12 above the norm to 86+/-31 above the norm post-vac. These changes resulted in an increase of the PULS score from 11% 5 yr ACS risk to 25% 5 yr ACS risk. At the time of this report, these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose of vac. We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.
Sadly, I could not find the full study, and I hate abstract-based opinions, but the findings are incredibly alarming. Considering the research design includes following this cohort of individuals for 8 years, meaning every individual is essentially their own control, and the increase in enormous, the findings look robust from the outside.
The other advantage of this study is it captures the full effects of the vaccine on every individual in the study. Other observation research design only seems to capture those few individuals with complications obvious enough to end in hospitalization. The corollary is that heart issues in the general population from the vaccine are more widespread than previously thought.
It should also be noted that the damage persists for at least 2.5 months, but could be much more long lasting (I assume they are still following these individuals but wanted to get the information out before long term effects are seen). This stands directly in the face of the establishment talking point that heart issues following the vaccine resolve themselves in a few days.
