According to a Senate report, the Biden administration was aware of myocarditis risks linked to COVID-19 vaccines as early as February 2021 but delayed public warnings until June. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson stated that officials were concerned about increasing vaccine hesitancy, which he felt violated the principle of informed consent.
Israeli health officials informed the U.S. about myocarditis cases among young people following vaccination, but this was not publicly addressed by the CDC or FDA at the time.
The Senate’s report claims that the Biden administration downplayed and delayed informing the public about the health risks associated with COVID-19 vaccinations, risking young Americans’ health.
