In a new study published on January 3, 2023, in the journal Circulation, the authors describe how “free spike antigen” was “detected in blood of adolescents & young adults who developed post-mRNA vaccine myocarditis, advancing insight into potential underlying cause” of vaccine induced myocarditis.

The researchers collected blood from 16 patients who were hospitalized at Massachusetts General for Children or Boston Children’s Hospital for myocarditis shortly after COVID-19 vaccination. Collection was done from January 2021 through February 2022, and their results were compared with those from 45 healthy, asymptomatic, age-matched vaccinated control subjects.
