But is that risk beneficial relative to infection for those with existing infection immunity? That’s what doesn’t seem to be concluded.

If population immunity was 50%, it would still be worth the myocarditis risk, since half the numbers are still vast and terrible. I imagine the inflection is up around 70-80% immunity, and there's the "no more deaths from corona" point to consider as well. But we don't know what the end of crowd development and transmission of variants is yet, so it's hard to predict the earliest point in time we might usefully reevaluate the balance of risk-of-covid versus risk-of-myocarditis. That sounds like an excellent problem to have, relative to today.

You haven’t factored in how much immunity improvement is conferred by vaccine over infection. If Covid infection + vaccine is 0% improvement over Covid infection, then no matter the population immunity, any risk outweighs the benefit.

You are assuming testing before vaccination, your parent is assuming no testing before vaccination.

There is not data that compares effectiveness of immunity so this is probably pure speculation.

Would you believe me if I said you are essentially using the same argument a eugenicist would make?
