In June, 2021, the CDC reported a “likely association” between injection with the mRNA COVID-19 shot and heart inflammation.  The FDA subsequently required that a warning about myocarditis and pericarditis be added to the manufacturer’s insert.  Myocarditis and pericarditis are inflammatory conditions that can lead to cardiac arrhythmia and death.  Individuals have the right to decide whether the risks associated with this pharmaceutical product are ones they are willing to accept for themselves or their child(ren).
