A double shot of moderna more than halved myocarditis vs getting covid according to your link?

>> We estimated an extra … six (95% CI 2, 8) myocarditis events per 1 million people vaccinated with … mRNA-1273 … in the 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273

>> This compares with an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) myocarditis events per 1 million patients in the 28 days following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test.

That's the average, but if you look at the under 40 cohort, the risk is doubled (Figure 2). The Myocarditis cases from vaccination overwhelmingly affect males in the younger age groups.
