What Vera Files found

The U.S. FDA indeed ordered Pfizer and Moderna to update their COVID-19 vaccine warnings to include heart damage risk. However, the warning refers only to increased risk and not guaranteed damage. The adverse effects were observed in some men aged 12 to 24, not in all recipients of the vaccine.
