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.

Thanks for that good news. And well done to Harley-Davidson for leading the pack! Just for fun, have a look at this:

One public comment:
“I’ve read a lot of Negative posts concerning Bikers ! Myself personally am Not a Biker. Have been around lots of Bikers since my Brothers were Bikers in their youth. Let me tell you this before you start Slating them, if you needed let’s say £25,000 for life saving surgery for a child, I know these Guys and Girls would go to the ends of the Earth to Raise every penny to Help anyone, they don’t ask for Medals or Publicity, they just like to help. I’ve witnessed many Charity Runs in my lifetime and I’m Proud of them, from all corners of the country.”
Remember the huge bikers convention that happened in South Dakota while many other states had a lot of “Covid restrictions” in place
Oh, I hadn’t heard about that— I’ll have to look it up. Well done to those bikers in South Dakota, for defying the Coronahoax restrictions.

462,000 of them in 2020
Covidtards KNOW that this spread covid all over the USA, they can trace lots of cases directly from the rally.
Governor Kristi Noem:
“ “South Dakota’s cases remain low. If you’re worried about the virus, you’re free to get vaccinated, wear a mask, or stay at home. But we won’t be mandating anything.”

This should kill the international holiday industry. Thousands more jobs will be lost these next twelve months.
As with everything else this is nothing to do with raising money and everything to do with restricting movement and destroying jobs.
While against net zero and the climate change hype, and although there is lots of oil about it is getting more difficult to extract, so think maybe it is too valuable as a chemical feedstock just to burn. Have thought for a long time there is something not quite right with an economic model which relies on flying masses of people over from China and India on holidays to Europe with masses from Europe going the other way. (Appreciate that maybe I have been fortunate enough to travel enough overseas to realise that nice as it is one can really enjoy staying put here)
You may have a point but if that’s the case sooner or later this will be reflected in the price of oil
I’ve traveled enough that the novelty wore off. Also the inside of one computer room is much the same as another the other side of the world. I agree that there will be better things to do with hydrocarbons than just burn them – but trying to replace them with EV batteries is nuts; the technology is nowhere near good enough yet. As for international flying as a commercial service: hydrocarbon is the only game in town.
What a lousy lack of attribution to the bloke who caused the change

Wow, what an achievement for that chap Robby Starbuck! Thanks for giving credit where it is due, and providing that link to his work, because many people like me had never heard of him before.
So 4 years of being ruled by the Blob and its demented puppet in the White House has opened the publics eyes. We can but hope for the same here but so much relies on Reform getting properly organised and a new leader in the next couple of years.
What “new leader” did you have in mind instead of Nigel Farage, who’s been fighting this fight for more than two decades?
I suppose you’re keen to have either the “Johnny-come-lately” Pakistani Muslim Millionaire Zia, or his enemy the “Sour-Grapes” Pakistani Jewish Millionaire Habib, instead of a Welshman, for example, or even a Northern Irish Protestant, or (heaven forbid!), an actual Englishman, like the five current Members of Parliament?
Or perhaps you would prefer a Nigerian woman birth tourist?
Or an Ethnic Oriental person from, say, China to represent British Patriots?
Or how about a Peruvian, just for variety’s sake, since the British Isles are just
“An Empty Space on the Map, to be filled in by people from anywhere”?
After a couple of years of disappointing council elections, byelections, Mr Farage will sidle off stateside.
Bon voyage.
