The nation's top public health agency did not send an alert on COVID-19 vaccines and heart inflammation because officials were concerned they would cause panic, according to an email obtained by The Epoch Times.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2021 drafted an alert for heart inflammation, or myocarditis, and the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. Officials prepared to release it to the public, taking steps including having the agency's director review the language, internal documents show.

The alert would have been sent through the CDC's Health Alert System (HAN) network, which goes to state and local officials, as well as doctors, across the country.

The alert was never sent.
