See figure 2. Double shot of Moderna has higher chance of myocarditis than covid does. They do add this to the conclusions of the paper, but they defocus it by talking about the populations as one large unbroken dataset.

When looking at people under 40, the risks for myocarditis are higher amongst Moderna double shot patients than for covid infections.

Right, that’s fair, I was overreacting a bit because you left out the age qualifier.

For reference the under 40 stats are (4, 9) + (12, 16) extra events for moderna vs (7, 11) for infection

That's a 50% increase in relative risk. Or as the pharma companies would call it, 'a risk increase of 50%'
