There have been a higher-than-expected number of cases of heart inflammation in 16- to 24-year-olds after receiving their second dose of Pfizer's or Moderna's Covid-19 vaccines.

There have been 275 reported cases in that age group as of May 31, according to a CDC presentation that was prepared for a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel meeting. Scientists expected between 10 and 102 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis — where the heart muscle or the lining surrounding it are inflamed, according to the CDC.

Also, there have been a total of 475 reported cases of myocarditis or pericarditis in people age 30 and younger, according to the CDC. 

Most patients who were hospitalized, or 81% of them, had full recovery from their symptoms, the agency said. As of May 31, 15 people remain hospitalized, with three in intensive care.

The majority of cases appear to occur in men and the median time to the onset of symptoms is two to three days, according to the CDC.

What is missing here is how many were vaccinated who are under the age of 30 years old?

Just a thought.
