The title of the Tweet, the title of the Article, compared to the first sentence to the article.






It IS linked with viral infections.  That's been known for over a decade.  I do find the article's title misleading; to no surprise.


The condition is usually caused by a viral infection, including those that cause the common cold, H1N1 influenza or mononucleosis. Left undiagnosed and untreated, it can cause heart damage and sudden cardiac arrest, which can be fatal. It is a rare condition, but the COVID-19 virus has been linked with myocarditis with a higher frequency than other viruses, based on limited studies and anecdotal evidence since the start of the pandemic.


I'd swear some of these people either don't know what anecdotal evidence is OR they are assuming we don't understand that anecdotal evidence is based on studies done in an informal manner and relying heavily or entirely on personal accounts.   It is not scientific evidence just like "limited studies" don't give anyone the entire picture.
