Autopsies Confirm COVID Jab Hazards in Youth

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola  Fact Checked February 23, 2023

When the COVID shots were first introduced, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention made several claims about them that have since been proven completely
false, including the claim that the mRNA would remain in the injection site, and that both
the mRNA and resulting spike protein would rapidly be eliminated from your body

The mRNA goes everywhere and can remain intact for a month of more. Ditto for the
spike protein your cells produce

Spike protein has been found in the brains of people with encephalitis (brain
inflammation) and in jab-induced shingles lesions. Both mRNA and spike protein have
been found in lymph nodes more than 60 days post-jab. Full-length mRNA has also been
shown to circulate in people’s blood for up to 28 days post-injection, and it’s been
detected in breastmilk

Research shows the primary difference between those who developed symptoms of
myocarditis and those who didn’t was that symptomatic patients had markedly elevated
levels of full-length spike protein unbound by antibodies in their plasma. Those who
remained asymptomatic had no free spike protein in their blood. This would suggest that
free-floating spike protein is a problem

Autopsies of two teenage boys found dead in their beds three and four days after their
second dose of Pfizer concluded jab-induced heart damage was to blame. The
myocarditis described in these instances did not have the typical histopathology of
myocarditis. Instead, both cases resemble catecholamine-induced injury, similar to the
cytokine storm experienced in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection

When the COVID shots were first introduced, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention made several claims about them that have since been proven completely
false.
They claimed the mRNA in the shot would remain in and only affect the cells around the
injection site. They also claimed the mRNA and resulting spike protein wouldn’t last long
in your body. The mRNA, they said, would vanish within “a few days,” and the spike
protein produced by your cells would be eliminated within “a few weeks.”
As it turns out, virtually every cell in your body is exposed to the mRNA and can remain
intact for a month or more. Ditto for the spike protein your cells produce. Spike protein
has been found in the brains of people with encephalitis (brain inflammation) and in
jab-induced shingles lesions. It can bioaccumulate in several organs, including
reproductive organs.
Both mRNA and spike protein have been found in lymph nodes more than 60 days postjab. Full-length mRNA has also been shown to circulate in people’s blood for up to 28
days post-injection, and it’s been detected in breastmilk.
In early August 2022, the CDC suddenly deleted those statements from its website —
probably because they realized their lies were catching up to them. The cleanup effort
was caught, however. Disclose TV exposed the deletion on its Twitter account, with an
archived link showing the CDC’s original webpage.

Free Spike Protein Linked to Jab-Induced Myocarditis
From the get-go, physicians and scientists warned that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
was the most toxic part of the virus, and hence making your cells produce it for an
undetermined amount of time could be an unmitigated disaster. Their warnings were
“debunked” and censored, but mounting evidence now proves their concerns were valid
— and should have been shared to prevent the loss of life.
We now have case reports, studies and autopsy findings showing that people suffering
from post-jab myocarditis have mRNA-induced spike proteins in their hearts and blood.
Interestingly, a January 2023 study in the journal Circulation found “extensive antibody
profiling and T-cell responses” both in those who developed post-jab myocarditis and
asymptomatic jabbed controls.
The primary difference between those who developed symptoms of myocarditis and
those who didn’t was that symptomatic patients had “markedly elevated levels of fulllength spike protein unbound by antibodies” in their plasma. Those who remained
asymptomatic had no free spike protein in their blood. This would suggest that free-
floating spike protein is a profoundly serious problem. As concluded by the authors:
10
“Immunoprofiling of vaccinated adolescents and young adults revealed that the
mRNA vaccine-induced immune responses did not differ between individuals
who developed myocarditis and individuals who did not.
However, free spike antigen was detected in the blood of adolescents and
young adults who developed post-mRNA vaccine myocarditis, advancing insight
into its potential underlying cause.”
Autopsy Reports Confirm Jab-Related Myocarditis
mRNA programming the heart cells to produce spike protein is also profoundly bad
news. A case report published in September 2022 describes the case of a 55-year-old
man who died from acute myocardial infarction and lymphocytic myocarditis four
months after a dose of Pfizer. As his first dose, he’d received the AstraZeneca shot.
According to the author:
“SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, but not nucleocapsid protein was sporadically
detected in vessel walls by immunohistochemical assay … These findings
indicate that myocarditis, as well as thrombo-embolic events following injection
of spike-inducing gene-based vaccines, are causally associated with a injurious
immunological response to the encoded agent.
Because of the fact that the immune response to a first gene-based vaccination
is very low in comparison with the immune response to the second vaccination,
the found adverse events has rather to be attributed to the mRNA-based second
vaccination as to the initial vector-based one.”
A Korean report published in July 2021 describes the case of a 22-year-old healthy
male military recruit who developed chest pain five days after his first Pfizer dose and
died just seven hours later. The primary cause of death was determined to be
“myocarditis, causally associated with the BNT162b2 vaccine.” Here, the primary
autopsy findings were:
11
12
1. Myocarditis predominantly involving the atrial wall, with neutrophil and histiocyte
predominance
2. Noninflammatory single-cell necrosis
3. Diffuse contraction band necrosis (CBN) throughout the myocardium,
predominantly in the left ventricle. CBN is a type of uncontrolled cell death that can
occur during reperfusion (reoxygenation). Basically, the tissue is damaged when the
blood returns into the tissue after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen
4. Enlargement of the heart
The myocarditis was determined to be “histologically different from viral or immunemediated myocarditis in that the inflammatory infiltrates were predominantly
neutrophils and histiocytes, rather than lymphocytes.”
Neutrophils are a type of white blood cells that act as your immune system’s first line of
defense. Histocytes are immune cells normally found in many areas of your body, but
when they move into tissues where they don’t belong, such as your heart, they damage
those tissues, which is what appears to have happened here.
A November 2022 paper describing the autopsy findings from five people who “died
suddenly” within seven days of their COVID jabs concluded that most of the deaths were
caused by acute arrhythmogenic cardiac failure. “Thus, myocarditis can be a potentially
lethal complication following mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination,” the authors
concluded.
Teenage Boys Killed by COVID Jab
A report detailing the autopsies of two teenage boys found dead in their beds three
and four days after their second dose of Pfizer also concluded jab-induced heart
damage was to blame.
The autopsies primarily sought to determine whether the myocarditis described in these
instances had the typical histopathology of myocarditis. It did not. Instead, both cases
13
more closely resembled a catecholamine-induced injury. As described by the authors:
“The myocardial injury seen in these postvaccine hearts is different from typical
myocarditis and has an appearance most closely resembling a catecholaminemediated stress (toxic) cardiomyopathy …
The microscopic findings are not the alterations seen with typical myocarditis.
This suggest a role for cytokine storm, which may occur with an excessive
inflammatory response, as there also is a feedback loop between
catecholamines and cytokines.”
As in the case of the Korean military man, both boys had evidence of CBN which, as
explained earlier, is cell death that typically occurs during reperfusion, when blood flow
temporarily ceases and then returns. The actual damage occurs when blood reenters
the tissue. As described in this report:
“Both teenage boys had similar clinical presentations with no obvious cardiac
symptoms. Their histopathology did not demonstrate a typical myocarditis. In
those instances, one sees lymphocytic (or giant cell) infiltrates with adjacent
myocyte necrosis; changes such as hypereosinophilic myocytes and
contraction bands are absent.
In these two postvaccination instances, there are areas of contraction bands
and hypereosinophilic myocytes distinct from the inflammation.
This injury pattern is instead similar to what is seen in the myocardium of
patients who are clinically diagnosed with Takotsubo, toxic, or stress
cardiomyopathy, which is a temporary myocardial injury that can develop in
patients with extreme physical, chemical, or sometimes emotional stressors.
Stress cardiomyopathy is a catecholamine-mediated ischemic process seen in
high catecholamine states in the absence of coronary artery disease or spasm.
It has also been called ‘neurogenic myocardial injury’ and ‘broken heart
syndrome.’
14
Surges in catecholamines may have several triggers (fight/flight response,
adrenal pathology, etc). Proposed mechanisms for catecholamine-mediated
stunning in stress cardiomyopathy include epicardial spasm, microvascular
dysfunction, hyperdynamic contractility with midventricular or outflow tract
obstruction, and direct effects of catecholamines on cardiomyocytes.
Catecholamine-mediated myocardial stunning may be due to direct myocyte
injury, as elevated catecholamines decrease the viability of myocytes through
cyclic adenosine monophosphate–mediated calcium overload.
Catecholamines also are a potential source of oxygen-derived free radicals,
which can interfere with sodium and calcium transporters, possibly resulting in
myocyte dysfunction through increased transsarcolemmal calcium influx and
cellular calcium overload …
We suspect that the acute cardiac changes seen in these two boys are the
result of epinephrine-mediated effects on cardiomyocytes … This postvaccine
reaction may represent an overly exuberant immune response, with the
myocardial injury mediated by similar immune mechanisms to those described
with SARS-CoV-2 and multisystem inflammatory syndrome cytokine storms …
These two clinical histories support the etiology of the acute myocardial injury
as a primary factor, not a secondary agonal or postresuscitative artifact …
Cytokine storm has been described with an excessive and uncontrolled
inflammatory response, and there is a feedback loop between catecholamines
and cytokines.
Clinical complications may include cardiac compromise, respiratory distress,
and hypercoagulation. The myocardial injury seen in these postvaccine hearts
has a similar histologic appearance to catecholamine-mediated stress
cardiomyopathy and severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, including myocarditis, which
is associated with cytokine release syndrome.
Recognition that these instances are different from typical myocarditis and that
cytokine storm has a known feedback loop with catecholamines may help guide
screening, diagnosis, and therapy.”
Myocarditis — New Top Cause of Death Among COVID-Jabbed
Have our federal health agencies destroyed the hearts of tens of thousands of young
Americans by pushing and mandating these shots? The preponderance of evidence
suggests this is most likely. A recent survey by Steve Kirsch suggests myocarditis and
sudden death are now two of the top causes of death in the U.S., but only among those
who got the COVID jab.
In early October 2022, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo issued updated
COVID jab guidance, recommending men between the ages of 18 and 39 abstain
from getting any more shots, as data show an 84% increase in heart-related death within
28 days of injection. Men over the age of 60 have a 10% increased risk of cardiacrelated death within 28 days.
The mass injection campaign has already shaved more than three years off the U.S. life
expectancy, and in the future, I predict we’ll see even further drops as jab-related heart
problems continue to take their toll.
As reported by Edward Dowd in his book “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden
Deaths in 2021 and 2022,” excess death rates began to skyrocket in the 26- to 41-yearold group shortly after the COVID jabs were rolled out. Between February 2021 and
March 2022 alone, millennials experienced the equivalent of a Vietnam war with more
than 60,000 excess deaths. Mass injection is the only thing that can account for this
sudden rise in mortality in this age group.
“
When young people are killed off en masse like this,
the overall life expectancy will drop rather massively,
and if the systemic damage caused by these shots
15
16,17
18
continue for years on end, we could be facing a rather
noticeable depopulation event.”
Sudden deaths among high-performance athletes have also skyrocketed by nearly
1,700%, and COVID jab mandates is the only novel factor that’s come into play.
Approximately 1,148 professional and amateur athletes suffered a lethal cardiac event
in 2021 and 2022, giving us an annual average death rate of 574 for those
years. Meanwhile, the historical annual average has been between 28 and
29.
When young people are killed off en masse like this, the overall life expectancy will drop
rather massively, and if the systemic damage caused by these shots continues for years
on end, we could be facing a rather noticeable depopulation event.
Resources for Those Injured by the COVID Jab
If you got one or more jabs and suffered an injury, first and foremost, never ever take
another COVID booster, another mRNA gene therapy shot or regular vaccine. You need
to end the assault on your body.
The same goes for anyone who has taken one or more COVID jabs and had the good
fortune of not experiencing debilitating side effects. Your health may still be impacted
long-term, so don’t take any more shots.
When it comes to treatment, there are still more questions than answers, and most
doctors are beyond clueless about what to do — in part because they never agreed or
bothered to provide early treatment for COVID and therefore don’t understand how
different medicines and supplements impact the spike protein.
So far, it seems like many of the treatments that worked against severe COVID-19
infection also help ameliorate adverse effects from the jab. This makes sense, as the
toxic, most damaging part of the virus is the spike protein, and that’s what your whole
body is producing if you got the jab.

So, eliminating the spike protein your body is continuously producing is a primary task
to prevent and/or address post-jab injuries. The two preferred remedies for this are
hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. Both of these drugs bind and thereby facilitate the
removal of spike protein.
The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) has developed a post-vaccine
treatment protocol called I-RECOVER. Since the protocol is continuously updated as
more data become available, your best bet is to download the latest version straight
from the FLCCC website at covid19criticalcare.com (hyperlink to the correct page
provided above).
The World Health Council has also published lists of remedies that can help inhibit,
neutralize and eliminate spike protein. Natural substances that prevent spike protein
from binding to your cells include Prunella vulgaris, pine needle tea, emodin, neem and
dandelion extract.
Spike protein neutralizers, which prevent the spike from damaging cells, include Nacetylcysteine (NAC), glutathione, fennel tea, star anise tea, pine needle tea, St. John’s
wort, comfrey tea and vitamin C. A March 2022 review paper suggests combating the
neurotoxic effects of the spike protein using luteolin and quercetin.
Time-restricted eating (TRE) and/or sauna therapy can also help eliminate toxic
proteins by stimulating autophagy. Several additional detox remedies can be found in
“World Council for Health Reveals Spike Protein Detox.”
Other Helpful Treatments and Remedies
Other treatments and remedies that may be helpful for COVID jab injuries include:
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, especially in cases involving stroke, heart attack,
autoimmune diseases and/or neurodegenerative disorders. To learn more, see
“Hyperbaric Therapy — A Vastly Underused Treatment Modality.”

• Lower your omega-6 intake. Linoleic acid is consumed in amounts ten times of
ideal in well over 95% of the population and contributes to massive oxidative stress
that impairs your immune response. Seed oils and processed foods need to be
diligently avoided. You can review my previous post for more information.
• Pharmaceutical grade methylene blue, which improves mitochondrial respiration
and aid in mitochondrial repair. It’s actually the parent molecule for
hydroxychloroquine. A dose of 15 to 80 milligrams a day could go a long way
toward resolving some of the fatigue many suffer post-jab.
It may also be helpful in acute strokes. The primary contraindication is if you have a
G6PD deficiency (a hereditary genetic condition), in which case you should not use
methylene blue at all. To learn more, see “The Surprising Health Benefits of
Methylene Blue.”
• Near-infrared light, as it triggers production of melatonin in your mitochondria
where you need it most. By mopping up reactive oxygen species, it too helps
improve mitochondrial function and repair. Natural sunlight is 54.3% infrared
radiation, so this treatment is available for free. For more information, see “What
You Need to Know About Melatonin.”
• Lumbrokinase and serrapeptidase are both fibrinolytic enzymes taken on an empty
stomach one hour before or two hours after to help reduce the risk of blood clots.
