“I thought this was a joke…”
The CDC canceled an emergency meeting where advisers were slated to discuss links between the COVID-19 vaccine and over 200 potentially lethal cases of heart-related side effects in teen boys so that the government agency could observe the new Juneteenth federal holiday instead.
Numerous cases of myocarditis, a lethal condition of the heart, and similar side effects, have been documented in Pfizer and AstraZeneca brand COVID-19 vaccine recipients, specifically teenage boys. While advisers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were slated to hold an emergency meeting over the past weekend to investigate the deadly vaccine side effect, the meeting was cancelled at the last minute by the agency in honor of the new Juneteenth federal holiday. The CDC says the topic has been rescheduled and will be tacked on to the June 23-25 meeting, though it doesn’t appear that the effect will be the main topic of discussion.
Members of the medical community have blasted the CDC’s move, with Johns Hopkins health policy expert and Fox News contributor Dr. Marty Makary comparing the cancellation to a doctor skipping out his patients and questioning the seriousness of the bureaucratic CDC.
