Autopsy Studies Rule Out Myocarditis from SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Statements from Public Health Agencies Debunked
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
I have heard numerous public health officials state that SARS-CoV-2 infection causes more myocarditis than COVID-19 vaccination. The American College of Cardiology has used this platform as a twisted rationale for giving out COVID-19 vaccines, and in a perverted manner, creating more myocarditis in the population.
If SARS-CoV-2 infection caused myocarditis or inflammation of heart muscle tissue, then it would be seen on autopsy in fatal cases of COVID-19. Poloni et al specifically examined the heart of fatal COVID-19 cases and concluded the virus does not infect the heart.

Another autopsy study of fatal COVID-19 pneumonia by Maccio et al found inflammation of the small capillaries serving the heart called endotheliitis but not the heart muscle tissue itself (no myocarditis shown in Figure 6 panel a). This distinguished COVID-19 from influenza which had no inflammation of blood vessels or heart muscle. But importantly, Maccio did NOT find myocarditis in COVID-19 cases.
