/‘We clearly have an imbalance’: CDC holding emergency meeting over COVID vax concern
The vaccine advisory committee for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will participate in an emergency meeting next week after hundreds of young Americans developed heart inflammation following their second dose of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 jabs.
As of May 31, the CDC has received 275 preliminary reports of myocarditis and pericarditis in fully-vaccinated 16 to 24-year-olds — a number that’s higher than what scientists expected to see, the CDC said Thursday.
“We clearly have an imbalance there,” Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office, said in a presentation to an FDA advisory committee.
Across all age groups, a total of 488 Pfizer recipients and 301 Moderna recipients reported the condition — and the majority were male.
…. It’s still not clear if the vaccine is causing the inflammation but the June 18 meeting will seek to address the condition and figure out how it should be handled moving forward.
Dr. Shimabukuro cautioned against drawing conclusions because the reports are preliminary.
“It’s a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison because, again, these are preliminary reports. Not all these will turn out to be true myocarditis or pericarditis reports,” Shimabukuro said, according to CBS News.
While people as old as 94 have reported the condition, 52.5 percent of cases have been found in patients between the ages of 12 and 24 — a demographic that represents just 8.8 percent of total vaccinations.
It’s a small number, and not necessarily caused by the vaccines, but with an age group that has almost zero chance of getting seriously ill from the China Flu, why the rush to force them to be vaccinated? NEA pressure? A desire to keep the panic going? Whatever the reason, you can be sure it has nothing to do with protecting
