“We should be able to move forward allowing the fact the virus is causing very mild illness in people who are vaccinated and younger populations, including those people who have become boosted,” Dr. Nicole Saphier, a radiologist, said Wednesday on Fox News.

Washington, May 23 (Ians) The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating reports of heart inflammation in teenagers and young adults after taking mRNA vaccinations against the Coronavirus disease, the media reported.
According to the agency's vaccine safety group, there were "relatively few" cases and that they may be entirely unrelated to vaccination, The New York Times reported on Saturday.
The condition, called myocarditis, is an inflammation of the heart muscle, and can occur following certain infections.
The CDC "concluded that there are relatively few reports of myocarditis to date and that these cases seem to occur: predominantly in adolescents and young adults, more often in males than females, more often following dose 2 than dose 1, and typically within 4 days after vaccination".
The CDC did not specify which vaccines caused the condition and the ages of the patients involved.
