The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) prepared to alert state and local officials of an emerging connection between heart inflammation and COVID-19 vaccines but ultimately didn’t send the message, according to a new document obtained by The Epoch Times.

All four COVID-19 vaccines that are or have been available in the United States can cause myocarditis, a type of heart inflammation, according to studies, experts, and agencies such as the CDC. The first cases were reported shortly after the vaccines became available in late 2020.
