Dear Dr. Marks,
I am troubled by the following, and look forward to your studied response on my single question at the bottom of this letter.
- Both approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have a causal link to ‘rare’ myocarditis. The “mRNA vaccine[s] can direct human cells to make a viral spike protein.”

- The currently authorized Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted, contains the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and Matrix-M adjuvant, and also has a causal link to myocarditis. Neither approved mRNA vaccine contains the Matrix-M adjuvant.

Thus, all three vaccines causally linked to myocarditis have one thing in common…spike protein exposure.
- We understand that COVID-19, infection, itself, can lead to myocarditis.

- We also understand that, unlike a live, attenuated vaccine, there is no current evidence that COVID-19 vaccines carry any risk of infection.

Thus, there is logically some non-infectious toxicity that the three COVID-19 vaccines and the COVID-19 infection, itself, have in common. Something they share.
- One theory for vaccine-induced myocarditis, offered by Ofer Levy, director of the Precision Vaccines Program at Boston Children’s Hospital and site of NIH-supported COVID-19-related projects, and as stated by NBC News, is the following: “That condition, he said, may also be related to the immune response generated by the shots.”

My question is:
- Regarding myocarditis, what non-infectious toxic entity, whether related to an immune response or not, do the three covid-19 vaccines and the covid-19 infection share?
In my opinion, the common denominator appears to be exposure to spike protein. I greatly look forward to your response, Dr. Marks.
Appreciatively,

Agreed. From the jump, I could not understand how they said the spike protein was toxic and damaging to the vessels,, arteries, and organs. Then when the jab comes along they say well the mRNA tech will have your body produce the said “toxic” spike protein??? This was baffling to me. I’m not a scientist or doctor but it certainly did not make any sense to me? What day you?
As a physician with a quarter century career in drug safety, I join you in being baffled by the choice of spike protein for a vaccine!
