The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidance last week for patients and medical professionals about how to handle Covid-19 vaccinations in light of concerns about cardiac inflammation... The guidance does not, however, advise against vaccination or even recommend that individuals who have experienced myocarditis — either from non-Covid-19 causes, from Covid-19 itself, or even from vaccination — discuss vaccination with their health care providers.
Widely circulated slides from a recent meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices offered even more surprising recommendations. First, they recommended individuals receive “any FDA-authorized Covid-19 vaccine if heart has recovered” in those who have had myocarditis before vaccination. They also recommended pushing ahead with a second dose of an mRNA vaccine for individuals who developed myocarditis or pericarditis after a first dose if the heart has recovered “under certain circumstances,” even though a second dose could result in recurrent inflammation, which may be more severe than the initial bout and have lasting negative consequences on heart function.
We worry that this guidance does not give sufficient deference to the potential for recurrent myocarditis, and that anyone with a history of myocarditis or who develops myocarditis soon after Covid-19 vaccination should explore carefully with their health care providers about their options until the medical community better understands why this inflammation occurs and if it can be avoided through alternative approaches.
There are precedent frameworks for considering complex trade-offs like this one. Some cancer medications (themselves wonders of modern medical science) can cause myocarditis and heart dysfunction, and so are used cautiously in those with a history of heart disease. Deciding to administer these drugs is not done lightly.

Meanwhile, primary care physicians, the people who know their patients best, haven’t been allowed to distribute the vaccines.
Instead you’re supposed to get them from people you don’t know, and who don’t know you from Adam’s housecat.
What could go wrong.
CoupFlu was NEVER about public health.
Not a single college or university in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, or Wyoming require a COVID-19 vaccine. And in a bunch of other states (e.g. Iowa, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, etc.) there’s just one college or university in the whole state requiring a COVID-19 vaccine.
In all, a bit under 600 colleges and universities are requiring a COVID-19 vaccine for the fall semester, and many of them are in California and New York (the places you’d expect that anyway). And hey, maybe that sounds like a lot, until you realize there are 5,300 colleges and universities in the United States.
So if you don’t want to have a COVID-19 vaccine, but you do want to go to college, your choices are reduced by a whopping 11%. Now who’s just being ridiculous?
Ding dongs.
Coronavirus PING!
Please listen to yourself. Why so much energy defending these injections and not voicing the slightest alarm over the risk facing kids?
This isn’t even about defending the vaccines themselves. This is about some colleges that put a policy in place requiring a specific vaccination. Most colleges require all kinds of vaccinations. About 11% of US colleges require this one. If you don’t like it, go to any of the other 89% of US colleges and universities that don’t require it.
This isn’t about defending a vaccine; it’s about defending the free market. And the free market is a hill I will die on.
It’s not even first generation students or new students. What about the Juniors and Seniors who need to go back to finish their degrees?
1. Many of the colleges mandating the vaccines are public government institutions. There is no difference between their mandates and the government mandating it.
2. Switching colleges isn’t as easy as saying, “Oh, I’ll go somewhere else now.” Transferring is a process, not all classes automatically transfer, and some programs of study might be different, not to mention housing that one already has obtained in the area. For Seniors, transferring is basically a no go, as many institutions require that a certain number of credits be earned at the school for the school to grant the degree.
3. The colleges are essentially changing a contract that the students relied upon after the fact. The students were not required to have this vaccine prior to acceptance and attendance, now the colleges want to change the requirements on them. That’s not free market despite the lying shills who want to pretend that it is.
WTH is wrong with them?
You are not defending the “Free” Market. You are defending a Pfizer monopoly and Fauci’s CDC.
Pfizer monopoly? Moderna has 41% of the US market for COVID-19 vaccines.
What monopoly are you even talking about? Fauci’s CDC? The heck does that even mean? Fauci doesn’t even work for CDC. He works for NIH, which is a totally separate operating group under HHS.
Do facts matter? Is reality real?
My disdain is not for the skeptics. My disdain is for the crazy conspiracy theories that the vaccine magnetizes you or is designed to depopulate the earth and the like or the breathless hysterical purposeful spreading of false information. I have always said the vaccine is an individual decision .
LoL yes wow Moderna thrown in. All mRNA. All the time to every little heart’s swollen content.
As Trump says, they’re okay with “pausing” Johnson and Johnson because Pfizer has more people entrenched in high places. (Especially globally.) And now there is talk that J and J shots need to be “boosted “ with...you guessed it! Pfizer or Moderna.
Please. You are no capitalist.You are a mouthpiece for the CDC’s unprecedented socializing tyranny and a pharma-oligarchy that makes Russia (where I lived) look far more free by comparison.
Sick and cruel.
Yes and people think Jesus rising from the dead is conspiracy too. So what then? 🙄
Ok. Believe whatever you want. Stop pinging me or don’t but I won’t respond in the future.
Nope. reality never enters in. Just the conspiracy theories and hysteria
You are upset not just with conspiracy theorists and crazies, which I don’t deny exist aplenty sadly. But even thoughtful weariness about the CDC’s power overstretch and the impending permanent legal immunity Pfizer may have from any liability, does not warrant even a thoguthful word from you. Just cattiness. This is a complex topic. It’s not just “pro science” on one side and “kooks” on the other. You’ve totally fallen for the narrative though and with the National complacency you represent — it’s thousands of young people’s being gambled as a result.
They also recommended pushing ahead with a second dose of an mRNA vaccine for individuals who developed myocarditis or pericarditis after a first dose if the heart has recovered “under certain circumstances,” even though a second dose could result in recurrent inflammation, which may be more severe than the initial bout and have lasting negative consequences on heart function.
Ding dongs.

Take a 2cnd dose? When hell freezes over.
If America sucks so bad, then go back home.
Actually it’s my perspective from studying in Russia that makes me realize how sacred our country and its foundations are here. Foundations which you clearly do not understand.
Foundations like the free market, where we choose where to spend our dollars and that brings about the best results for everyone?
Yeah, no, I got that one. You appear to want big daddy government to step in and force the 11% of colleges with a vaccine requirement to drop it. “Come save us all, big daddy government! Protect us from having to make our own choices!”
Yeah, no thanks.
You are a statist sycophant enabling the biggest government overreach in the name of “public health” and “HERD immunity” - individualism be damned.
Please. You are Not a free market proponent at all.
