America’s top public health agency, the CDC, did not send an alert on COVID-19 vaccines and heart inflammation because officials were concerned it would cause panic, according to an email obtained by the Epoch Times.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2021 drafted an alert for heart inflammation, or myocarditis, and the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. Officials prepared to release it to the public, taking steps including having the agency’s Director review the language, internal documents show.
The alert would have been sent through the CDC’s Health Alert System (HAN) network, which goes to state and local officials, as well as doctors, across the country.
The alert was never sent.
In the May 25th 2021 email, exclusively obtained by the Epoch Times, a CDC official revealed why some officials were against sending the alert.
“The pros and cons of an official HAN are what the main discussion are right now,” Dr. Sara Oliver, the official, wrote in the missive. “I think it’s likely to be a HAN since that is CDC’s primary method of communications to clinicians and public health departments, but people don’t want to appear alarmist either.”
Dr. Oliver was corresponding with an employee of either Pfizer or Moderna. The employee’s name and email were redacted in the copy obtained by the Epoch Times.
Dr. Oliver did not respond to a request for comment. Asked about the email, the CDC did not address Dr. Oliver’s statement.
The “CDC’s apparent decision to not immediately issue a formal alert to clinicians warning them about the increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis in vaccinated individuals is not only inexcusable, it’s malpractice,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), the top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, told the Epoch Times in an email.
“CDC should never prioritise its own public perception over the public’s health, and those who made the decision to do so must be held fully accountable,” he added.
It remains unclear which official or officials decided not to send the alert at a time when doctors across the country were seeing patients with myocarditis report to emergency rooms with chest pain and other symptoms.

So it’s only taken six years to resolve this and get justice!
This culture means that you exclude the best minds. That is why it is banned in many countries. It leads to weakness and inevitable collapse simply because your best minds are excluded from your arsenal. Best bodies as well, anyone or anything superlative or even superior. Very short life expectancy for such a culture.
Well done, Mrs Higgs.
Fight. Fight. Fight.
Don’t have any illusions about them. They want you to shut up and comply until they have total control over every aspect of your life.
A small victory, but it matters.
The snidey sh**s who snitch on correct thinking people with who they disagree should be called out. Cowardice of Olympic proportions should be punished.
Anonymous complaint. Let their cowardly accusers face them. Keep fighting this rubbish.
Shame the judges did not also observe that off duty teachers are entitled to express their opinion. I would say the lady’s position might have been less secure if she had been part of top management and she had flagged off the school.
I note the public sector does get away with all that so long as they express woke left wing views and swear at anyone to the right of (say) Starmer.
Six damned years for justice and not for doing anything wrong, oh no Mrs Higgs simply upset some lily livered member of the wokerati. However, if Kneel had his way not only would this good lady have lost her job she would also be in clink.
What is required now is an inquiry into the people who were responsible for her sacking, names made public and the promise that they will receive some re-education shall we call it.
What an absolute disgrace. Britain 2025.
I suspect that it was fear of the mob that did it, fear of what might happen to them if they did not sack her.
“Pastoral Administrator and Work Experience Manager” … Huh?
Still, it was ridiculous to sack her, the people that did the sacking should face consequences, how about getting the sack.
And the fact that she is Christian should have nothing to do with it.
They should have to pay for her legal fees plus interest personally.
