More Americans are saying they’re ‘vaxxed and done’

There's research coming out that shows the vaccines are causing heart inflammation (1) in younger people, so I'd show some caution in getting kids vaccinated.

I'm not sure how it compares to the effects of covid itself, just something to think about / read up on to make an informed decision.

flagged. the virus itself is much more dangerous in this regard, it's right in the study:

> We estimated extra myocarditis events to be between 1 and 10 per million persons in the month following vaccination, which was substantially lower than the 40 extra events per million persons observed following SARS-CoV-2 infection.

> Whilst myocarditis can be life-threatening, most vaccine-associated myocarditis events have been mild and self-limiting. The risk observed here is small and confined to the 7-day period following vaccination, whereas the lifetime risk of morbidity and mortality following SARS-CoV-2 infection is substantial.

I posted this above - also from the study

"Subgroup analyses by age showed that the increased risk of events associated with the two mRNA vaccines was present only in those aged under 40 years."

This graph shows it: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0/figures/2
