I hear Myocarditis is absolutely huge in the 4 and under age group!

Just trying to get out in front of this.

Not just children under 4. There is a study going around that found 12-15 year olds are ~5X more likely to be hospitalized due to vaccine induced myocarditis than hospitalized due to covid.

Some of my verbage was off but from the article:

"boys aged 12 to 15, with no underlying medical conditions, are four to six times more likely to be diagnosed with vaccine-related myocarditis than ending up in hospital with Covid"

"About 86% of the boys affected required some hospital care"
