CDC calls urgent meeting over 226 cases of heart inflammation in teenage boys who have had Pfizer or Moderna vaccines

US health officials Thursday announced higher than expected reports of heart inflammation in male teens and young adults after getting their second doses
A total of 226 cases have been reported that may meet the CDC's 'working case definition' of myocarditis and pericarditis following the shots, the agency said
Of these cases, 3 are in ICU, 15 are hospitalized, 41 have ongoing symptoms and 167 have recovered
Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle; pericarditis of the outer lining
It is not clear if they are caused by the shots and the reports are extremely rare
More than 130 million Americans have received second doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, meaning just 0.000173846% report such effects
The CDC continues to urge everyone aged 12 and older to get vaccinated

They have been talking about this for weeks now.
The first time I read about it, they also mentioned that the number of cases of inflammation is not any worse than one might expect, even without the vaccine. (Which was alluded to, above.)
But the people who need something to freak out about, will latch onto this, the same as they do with everything else.

Honestly, this is why my entire family has not, and will not get a shot until about a year from now. These vaccines were rush produced due to a global emergency. For me, it's too soon to just dive in head first and HOPE nothing long-term occurs. If I feel the need in public, I'll just continue to wear a surgical mask.

It's now said to be occurring about twice as much after vaccination as compared to people of the same age group who have not been vaccinated.
226 cases of myocarditis in people under age 30 are reported out of 141,000,000 people of all ages that have been at least partially fully vaccinated. Of those 226 cases, about 1/2 were under age 20, with most age 12-14.
The expected number of cases of myocarditis in that age group was about 100.
Over 1/2 of the US 331,449,281 population (165,724,640) has received at least 1 dose.

Of the age groups involved with 226 cases of myocarditis, under 12 to age 39:
37,719 people under 12 have been fully vaccinated.
1, 233,021 people ages 12-15 years old have been fully vaccinated.
2,,085,725 people 16-17 yrs old have been fully vaccinated.
9,549,219 people ages 18-24 old have been fully vaccinated.
25,441,920 people ages 25-39 have been fully vaccinated.

So which is it?

24.7 million people is not an insignificant number

Thanks. It's been corrected.
