Driving home a point I have been making for a long time while pointing (again) to one specifically in the conclusion:
"The microscopic examination revealed features resembling a catecholamine-induced injury, not typical myocarditis pathology."

Conclusions.—:
The myocardial injury seen in these postvaccine hearts is different from typical myocarditis and has an appearance most closely resembling a catecholamine-mediated stress (toxic) cardiomyopathy. Understanding that these instances are different from typical myocarditis and that cytokine storm has a known feedback loop with catecholamines may help guide screening and therapy.

I published an explanation on my blog:
