The news of potential heart-related concerns with the Pfizer and Moderna RNA vaccines comes on the heels of blood clot worries linked to the single-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
Concern was apparently expressed at the meeting by representatives from the Department of Defense, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, Vaccine Safety Datalink, the Veteran's Administration, and the Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment; all off whom gave presentations or updates at the meeting.
The Israeli Ministry of Health recently announced it is monitoring for heart inflammation after Pfizer's vaccine due to some cases being reported.
As with nearly every report of vaccine adverse events, CDC typically says the illness may be coincidental and not related to vaccination, and - in the event it is related - the risk of the vaccine outweighs the benefit.
Plans to restart the smallpox vaccination program in the U.S. back in 2002 after the 9/11 Islamic extremist terrorist attacks were eventually scuttled after reports of serious side effects including, according to CDC, "A few people who...developed heart inflammation, inflammation of the lining of the heart, or a combination of both." There were at least 11 cases of the unusual heart inflammation among military troops who got the smallpox vaccine, and three civilian deaths under investigation.
The CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is closely monitoring for Covid-19 vaccine adverse events.
The CDC group's credibility took a major hit earlier this year when it was revealed that the entire scientific team had signed onto false information about what studies showed about Covid-19 vaccine effectiveness in people who already had Covid-19.
