This follows Dr. Harris's June 15th letter of the same topic. Citing the CDC advisory panel's acknowledgement of over 1200 cases being investigated, and the "likely association" of myocarditis/pericarditis (heart inflammation) in young people, Dr. Harris strongly believes the decision to get vaccinated should solely be between a patient and their doctor, rather than a university bureaucrat. Congressman Harris wrote: "Considering these recent increased reports of heart inflammation, especially in young males, after receiving a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, I write to again urge you to suspend vaccine mandates on higher education campuses. It is wholly inappropriate that access to education is becoming a factor in an individual coming to a risk-benefit decision with their physician regarding accepting a non-FDA-approved vaccine, given the risks including myocarditis/pericarditis. This decision should not be left to university bureaucrats, but to the patient and their personal physician."
