I was thinking about heart damage earlier this week as the third person I know told me that their kid had MIS-C and ended up in the hospital. All three believe their kids are totally fine now, but while doing a little research into it I found out there's a clinical trial ongoing specifically to look at heart damage in kids who had MIS-C.
"When children are diagnosed with MIS-C, they may have decreased heart function (meaning how the heart squeezes), enlargement of the coronary arteries (the blood vessels that bring oxygenated blood to the heart) and heart rhythm problems. However, we do not know the long-term effects of MIS-C on the heart or other organ systems."

The clinical trial is ongoing and not due for a report until 2026.

But by all means people, just let your kids get infected over and over for the next 3 years until we hear back on that one...
@BE yeah it’s fucked how much research shows this is not something to be fucking around with and yet seeing like every major organization fail us to prioritize profit
