that's an increase of 4.5-14% that is huge, especially when you include that the high risk group has virtually no risk from covid infection.

In the US, the rate of Covid deaths in 18-29s is something like 10/100,000.

So if that is virtually no risk, so is 20 cases of myocarditis (that aren't all lethal) per 100,000.

(I used 6100 from https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-... divided by 53 million to get 10/100,00).

Myocarditis in young people post vaccination rather than being (not all lethal) is virtually never lethal.
