🥶robust studies refute benefit (TTM1 & TTM2)
🥶growing evidence of iatrogenic harm

AND CDC is investigating several reports that teenagers and young adults may have developed myocarditis after receiving mRNA vaccines. Most cases were mild, more often in males than females, more often following dose 2 than dose 1, and typically, within 4 days after vaccination.
