The CDC will now convene a meeting of its immunization practices advisory committee this Friday to examine the evidence and assess these risks further. While often times treatable with over the counter medication and surveillance, myocarditis and pericarditis remain dangerous and are defined as an inflammation of the heart muscle that present as shortness of breath and specific pain in the chest. Congressman Harris wrote: "While the country's top scientists continue evaluating the latest safety and efficacy data, some higher education campuses in Maryland continue to require student vaccination. It is unacceptable that students are being forced to make personal medical decisions as a condition of advancing their education. Students could safely return to the classroom without a vaccine requirement through reasonable safety accommodations, such as testing and mask usage for unvaccinated individuals."
