The benefits are always balanced against the potential harm.

For young males, the risk of myocarditis from the vaccine may be comparable to that from the disease according to a UK study - until that’s clarified, booster mandates have no place in colleges.

Myocarditis is only one COVID-19 symptom. The total risk of injury and death is far higher from COVID-19 than the vaccine.

We’re talking about already vaccinated individuals which are protected against harm and now should get a booster that’s associated in a study with increased risk of myocarditis. This connection must be studied more before anybody thinks about mandating boosters.
