Sweden suspended the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for people ages 30 and under, saying the move was done out of precaution because of rare side effects including heart inflammation. In Denmark, people under 18 won’t be offered the Moderna shot. https://t.co/IisdZ9Uywt

Swedish health authorities on Wednesday suspended the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for those ages 30 and under, saying the move was done out of precaution.
The reason for the pausing is “signals of an increased risk of side effects such as inflammation of the heart muscle or the pericardium” — the double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the main vessels, Sweden’s Public Health Agency said in a statement. “The risk of being affected is very small.”
In July, the European Medicines Agency recommended authorising Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 12 to 17, the first time the shot has been authourised for people under 18.

idiots caving into the growing right wing anti-vaxx lobby
It’s called following the science. Nothing to do with your delusions about a right wing antivax lobby.
I’d put a witty reply here but I’m too busy with heart inflammation and autism
