It's interesting how science-like yt video channels like https://youtu.be/vpwSYQelMEg?t=176 make the case that endocarditis is unusually high (let's say 14 of 7.14million), and saying "we don't know what the baseline is but..."

when you can easily look back a few years and look up stats (took me 10 seconds): https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.116.005306 where baseline is 1/50k^ Any comment to this effect is deleted/unapproved. I can only assume this is the new kind of anti-vax propaganda, to get around yt rules.

^While the instances of vaccine-related endocarditis are relatively high for the 20s to 40s male groups, for children there's nothing to suggest endocarditis is a specific side-effect, afaik.

That's 1 in 50k person years

You are correct. That was helpful clarity.

Maybe divide 7.14million by (50000 * 6 year average age or whatever), and you might find a statistical baseline from that? Probably a bad idea.

The information is freely available from studies, was more to the point.
