Reply to comment by Knute5 in Study of 1.65M COVID Vaccine Doses Finds Rare "Myocarditis" Generally Mild—More Than Half of Patients Didn't Need to be Hospitalized by Voices4Vaccines

is the logic that aspiration assures that the injection goes into your muscle and doesn’t hit your blood stream right away so like the immune response goes crazy in your shoulder but mellows out before spreading?

anyways i cant see how this would be reliably recorded. if a person performing the vaccine forgets to aspirate, they likely don’t remember that they forgot. if they do remember then realistically they aren’t going to report their own mistake.

if they were to report themselves, aspiration is a test to see if blood is drawn. ive aspirated thousands of times and never drew blood into the syringe. it wouldn’t be the act of aspiration, but the mitigated extremely low likelihood of hitting a blood vessel if administering into the blood stream is related to myocarditis.

They don't forget, they're not trained to. With most "classical" vaccines it makes no difference. It's pretty well recorded. (There's been a podcast of one German expert on the topic, it's on youtube but it's in German obviously. He goes into detail on how myocarditis cases were seen more in patients that got the jab in a vax center, where mostly young recently-trained people worked, as opposed to resident GPs which tended to work the "old-school" way, with aspiration.)
