A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advisory group now says reports of heart inflammation in people given an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine are likely linked to the vaccine, but that the benefits of vaccination still outweigh any risks.
In a Wednesday presentation, the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) noted that early data from its database shows a rate of 4.4 reported cases of heart inflammation per million first doses given of any mRNA vaccine in the 21 days following vaccination.

US Economy: 5 biggest risks that can derail the US economy - by Bryan Borzykowski
If there's one thing we can take away from this week's stock market
dive that sent the Dow down more than 866 points and 5 percent in five
days, it's that American's are feeling a little jittery. After five
years of economic uncertainty, it finally feels as if things are back on
track, yet many people are wondering whether or not the terrible times
are truly in the past.
On the surface, everything seems to be humming along nicely. The S&P 500 is up about 30 percent over the last two years, the U.S. jobless rate is at a six-year low, housing starts have climbed 9 percent year-to-date, and other economic indicators are pointing to good times ahead.
"It's been pretty good so far," said Sheryl King, Roubini Global Economics' senior director of research. She thinks America's GDP will see about 3 percent growth in 2015, but only if some of the risks that people are concerned about don't materialize and derail the recovery.
A number of things could trip growth up.
