COVID-19 mRNA vaccines likely linked to rare heart condition in kids: CDC panel

Researchers have found a link between rare cases of heart inflammation in children and COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, a group of doctors advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.

The COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Technical (VaST) Work Group said the "data available to date suggest likely association of myocarditis," an inflammation of the heart muscle, with the mRNA-based shots in younger Americans, Fox News reported.

"It does appear that mRNA vaccines may be a new trigger for myocarditis yet it does have some different characteristics," said Dr. Matthew Oster during a panel at the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting on Wednesday.

The heart issues are very rare.

The CDC received around 323 reports that met its definition for myocarditis and pericarditis in vaccinated people under 30 as of June 11, the outlet reported. This is out of some 27 million shots that have been administered to people under age 30 in the US.

Officials said at least 79% of the patients recovered from their symptoms, which include chest pain, shortness of breath and difficulty sleeping.

"We're observing this in younger age groups, mainly in people in the teens and early 20s and observing it more in males compared to females," said Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of the CDC's Immunization Safety Office, the outlet reported.

Pfizer has previously said it had not observed a higher rate of heart inflammation than would normally be expected in the general population, while Moderna had said it could not confirm a causal association with the heart inflammation cases and its vaccine.

Dr Sucharit Bhakdi warned of this very outcome months ago and was relegated to the "false news" bin for his trouble. Up until he spoke out he was the most quoted microbiologist in Germany.

Some woman posted about her 13yo nephew dying from a heart attack on Twatter. When another woman said she was taking her 12yo for her 2nd dose the next day and now was nervous about it, the reply from the aunt?

"If my 14yo wasn't already jabbed she would still have it done".

Are you fucking kidding me!?

This is so common. My own brother and his wife are exactly the same. My dad died from this poison yet they will not see it no matter what you say or show.

Christian83 Yeah, I know what you mean. What appears at first to be an almost criminal level of stupidity is really that their egos control them and furthermore, they have no conscious control over their thoughts or feelings. They are just hapless, subconscious wraiths who have been trained from birth that intelligence is how fast one can solve a shape-puzzle relative to someone else. They blow with the wind like tumbleweeds of reactive emotion, and allow the external world to determine every moment of their own lives. This was the logic behind astrology and more generally, fate.

adipocere Couldn't have said it better. The sad, scary thing is that they will get away with this huge genocidal experiment and people like us will be the scapegoats. I expect that even at the last moments, the masses will still not see what is happening.

Christian83 This is a major problem for me too. It's astonishing how brainwashed these people are. No matter what you say (and these are people I know really well), they just go out and get jabbed when their turn comes having completely ignored everything I'd said.

I cannot understand this, I'm convinced that they'll go over the cliff still believing it was me that was wrong!

PDX You did not study psychology as long as our elitist overlords did - for centuries. These people are entranced, literally out of their mind. A ind of zombie.

If only our overlords understood why it doesn't work on the 1 %, who are us.

A guy I know suddenly has liver problems, and his wife is currently in the hospital for heart problems. He adamantly refuses to imagine that it might have something to do with the jab. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. But I’d at least give it serious consideration.
