I mean the vax side effects. It’s very unlikely the two are linked. They wouldn’t push the meeting back if there were serious issues with the vax.

Thanks for the usual lecture. I made no connection- the CDC canceled an emergency meeting. In most people's worlds of medicine and emergencies, they don't cancel work because of a holiday.
You put a lot of faith in the CDC and the government. Heart issues are serious issues.
I’m not doubting that. Yes they’re serious. But highly doubt the vax is playing a big role in them
Didn't you call people who worried about this exact issue in relation to Covid "wilting flowers"? But are up in arms about a meeting getting pushed back 3 business days?
I too think "Juneteenth" is a limp reason to cancel, but the sky ain't falling.
Then we agree. The wilting flowers reference was to someone downplaying the issue. Any heart issue is serious. They should have met today. Juneteenth is tomorrow. Celebrations scheduled in Asbury Park/Neptune, and it sounds like a nice time.
For an "emergency meeting" that they scheduled back on June 10 for June 18.
Such an emergency to them that the now postponed meeting was to take place over a week from when it was announced. Now longer.
So ...is Juneteenth going to become a legit holiday that regular businesses close down for or just one of those Colombus Day types that only public workers get off?
I definitely root for the former, along with an observation to the Monday after the 3rd Sunday of the month - father's day done right.
Ayes?

I see you and bac are posting more anti-vaxx talking points. It was first billed as an "emergency" meeting, but the CDC has clarified that saying it's a "COVID vaccine meeting" and will simply be folded into one of theree Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meetings held every year (one was already scheduled for next week) to discuss a variety of vaccine issues and not just for COVID vaccines. Postponing that meeting for a few days means nothing. And, by the way, tons of government doctors in places like the NIH, CDC and FDA have been working incredible hours throughout COVID, led by Dr. Fauci, who is still putting in 70-80 hour weeks, every week.
With regard to the actual myocarditis risk, even if the myocarditis cases are deemed to be causally related to the mRNA vaccines (jury is still out - part of why they're having the meeting), we're still talking about an exceedingly rare side effect (maybe 20 in 1MM young people), which self-resolves in the vast majority of cases, as per the except below from an NPR article. But like any side effect, it needs to be thoroughly investigated, like they all have, so far.
Paul Offit, professor of pediatrics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a member of an FDA vaccine advisory committee, says there likely is a causal link between the heart inflammation some doctors are seeing in these teens and the second dose of vaccine. "I think it's real," he says, but he hastens to add that the effect is exceedingly small – based on the data collected so far, maybe one in 50,000 vaccinees between the ages of 16 and 39. "And the good news is at least so far it looks to be transient and self-resolving."

Yes, you made the connection - own it. And as I just posted, it is not an emergency meeting (even if it was billed like that at first).Thanks for the usual lecture.

I got the Pfizer but test show that I don't have any antibodies -due to chemo, radiation, immuno suppressing anti-rejection drugs for stem cell transplant. I asked if we should try the JnJ drug since it uses a more tradition approach and my docs said no. We're just going to wait for the data to develop and my immune system to get more normal to try again. 95% effective still means a lot of people walking around susceptible or active carriers.
Wtf is anti vaxx talking point?
Im calling out the poltical bullcrap infecting sciences every move
Its an issue for a young woman who died..they need to get on it
Dr Fauci..haha..the guy is losing credibility by the day even among those non political
Hopefully it is available here soon for the remaining vaccine hesitant folks. The funny thing is, while the approach Novavax uses has been around for awhile, it has been a target for antivaxxers as well. I’m sure the low-life antivaxxers will move on to Novavax just as fast (some in this thread). Just a really sad group of individuals.
