The claim
Myocarditis en pericarditis treden alleen na vaccinatie op en juist niet na corona-infectie.
Original publisher’s rating
Nee. De kans op myocarditis en pericarditis is groter na een infectie met het coronavirus, dan na vaccinatie tegen corona. Het Engelse onderzoek bewijst zeker niet het tegendeel.

The review says myocarditis and pericarditis can follow infections as well as vaccination, and cites a higher risk after COVID-19 infection than after vaccination. The English study covered children and adolescents and found cases only among vaccinated participants, but the review says it cannot establish that these conditions do not occur after infection.[S1]
