As the conversation continues regarding vaccinating kids aged 5-11 with the Pfizer vaccine, the FDA reviewed data and voted to endorse authorizing the vaccine, deciding its benefits outweigh recent concerns about rare heart-related side effects.
The rare side effect, known as myocarditis, is an inflammation of the heart that is seen in a small percentage of adolescent boys and young men taking mRNA vaccines like the Moderna or Pfizer.
Dr. John Goldman from UPMC says it typically resolves without major complications, but it’s the FDA’s job to leave no stone unturned when it comes to vaccine side effects.
“It would obviously be a concern if you start giving it to younger children who could also have myocarditis – so you want to make sure that the risks of the vaccine, didn’t outweigh the benefits," he said.
In yesterday’s meeting, the FDA said more than six million American children contracted Covid-19, but in making their emergency use authorization recommendation, the group of experts determined that the benefits outweigh the risks.

“you want to make sure that the risks of the vaccine, didn’t outweigh the benefits”
Statistics mean nothing when it happens to YOU.
I’ve had pericarditis (related side effect). While certainly survivable, not something I’d like to repeat.
J&J vexcine blood clots were/are called “rare”.
My sister is dead now thanks to “rare” clots in both legs, lungs, heart blood-supplying vessels after the “safe and effective” vexcine. Loaded up with blood thinner at hospital and sent to hospice(to die).
Rare.
Children do not deserve “rare” problems at random.
They’re already looking at a REALLY screwed up planet already.
The vaccines actually damage immunity, of course.
So is death of covid in minor children.
Funny, with the Beagle running away. I laugh, but I should be crying.
Exactly, there’s certainly no logical medical reasons for any of these policies, so I can’t imagine what else it would be except compliance.
Here is the problem for some of us. I already have heart tissue that has been scarred as a result of a surgery. I still have to take daily medication for my condition. Heart tissue does not heal like normal muscle. So if you damage your heart, it is HIGHLY unlikely to heal. Far more likely to scar.
Given that I already have a compromised heart, I am not willing to risk a “rare” response, because it is possible that it will further damage my heart. Kill me? Probably not. But it could significantly weaken my heart .... so no thank you.
Rare, unless you get it. Then it’s real. And it’s become real for far too many people if it’s a safe and effective “vaccine”. To paraphrase Mark Twain: There’s lies, damn lies, and COVID 19 statistics.
I’ll take zero risk over “rare” risk, thanks very much.
A friend of the family is in the hospital with myocarditis after the shot. A former co-worker of my husband’s is dead. It’s not rare. The people pushing this death shot are reprobates.
So, they pulled other vaccines for 25 deaths but these are in the tens of thousands and no pulling of the vaccine. Who is paying who?
Is it as rare as my unvaccinated risk of death?
Any doctor who thinks the risk is higher than the FDA says it is please raise your hand.
Now hand over your licenses, suckas!
But still higher than their risk of Covid.
guess i guess that’s why they started putting anti-heart attack junk in the new kids shot... right?
COVID-19 Vaccination-Associated Myocarditis in Adolescents
Objective:
This study aimed to characterize the clinical presentation, short term prognosis, and myocardial tissue changes associated with acute myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination in the pediatric population.
Methods:
In this retrospective multi-center study across 16 US hospitals, patients <21 years of age with a diagnosis of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination were included and compared to a cohort with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Younger children with vaccine associated myocarditis were compared to older adolescents.
Results:
63 patients with a mean age of 15.6 years were included. 92% were male. All had received an mRNA vaccine and, except for one, presented following the 2nd dose. Four patients had significant dysrhythmia. 14% had mild left ventricular dysfunction on echocardiography which resolved on discharge. 88% met the diagnostic cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) Lake Louise criteria for myocarditis. Myocardial injury was more prevalent in comparison to MIS-C patients. None of the patients required inotropic, mechanical, or circulatory support. There were no deaths. Follow up data obtained in 86% of patients, at a mean of 35 days showed resolution of symptoms, arrhythmias, and ventricular dysfunction.
Conclusions:
Clinical characteristics and early outcomes are similar between the different pediatric age groups. There is evidence of myocardial inflammation and injury following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination as seen on CMR. The hospital course is mild with quick clinical recovery and excellent short-term outcomes. Close follow up and further studies are needed to understand the long-term implications and mechanism of these myocardial tissue changes.

I agree they probably are fairly rare overall, but they are not zero and people should have the freedom to choose whether or not to be vaccinated without fear of losing their jobs and their livelihoods.
