CDC Confirms Heart Inflammation Cases in Kids after Pfizer Jabs
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed 8 of 14 reported cases of myocarditis in 5–11-year-olds given a Pfizer Covid jab – but hasn’t disclosed whether it believes there is a link between vaccines and heart trouble.
The CDC also didn’t reveal the standard rate of myocarditis among unvaccinated children in the age group, which has been given over 7mn doses of Covid vaccinations so far.
The FDA flagged concerns over the risk of the potentially fatal heart condition at the October approval of Pfizer jabs for 5–11-year-olds but decided the benefits “would outweigh the risks”.
