FACT CHECK: "A warning that the FDA removed from its website on May 31, 2025!"

There is no evidence that this is true.

Here are the facts as I have been able to ascertain them:

The FDA has included a warning about the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination since June 2021.

On June 25, 2025, the FDA issued an updated and expanded warning, which incorporated new data from insurance claims and cardiac MRI studies.

There is no evidence that the FDA removed the myocarditis warning from its website or labeling at any point between 2021 and 2025.

The updated 2025 warning replaces and builds upon the 2021 warning; it does not erase or contradict it.

It was just a FACT CHECK about the claim I quoted from the article:

"A warning that the FDA removed from its website on May 31, 2025!"

There is no evidence that I can find that this happened.

If you disagree, please provide that evidence.

Also, why do you think it is "stupid" to do some fact checking on stuff you read, especially stuff that supports your own view. Or do you only fact check the opposition?

Click the '598 captures' link on the top left of the following link.

You can see that the FDA took the page down at the end of May.

It shows that they stopped crawling it on May 31 because the link didn't exist after that...

There can be as long as a month between crawls.

So, again, unless I missed something, this still does not confirm your claim that "the FDA removed [the warning] from its website on May 31, 2025!"

The link says:

"This calendar view maps the number of times https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-june-25-2021 crawled by the Wayback Machine, not how many times the site was actually updated"

So, unless I have missed something, this does not confirm your claim.

Do you actually have something useful to add?

Unfortunately the antivaxxers have elevated their Covid quacks to godlike status and pay no attention to facts.
