A report from Sen. Ron Johnson's office alleges that top health officials, aware of myocarditis risks associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, delayed public warnings for months in 2021. Despite being alerted about cases as early as February 2021, including concerns raised by Israel's Ministry of Health, federal agencies did not update vaccine labels until late June. The report suggests this postponement compromised the safety of young Americans. While most myocarditis cases resolve, the proactive decision to withhold information highlights serious health governance issues.
