Are we now going to pretend that we fear myocarditis more than death? We had a million covid deaths and how many myocarditis deaths again?
These comments show the value of these so called "debates". Repeating my first point again.
Myocarditis rate of 97 in 1M is 0.01% This is NOT FATALITY rate. Myocarditis from which a huge majority recover easily. Covid19 fatality is 0.4%
I just can't take people hyperventilating about myocarditis while dismissing death seriously.
And if it helps you here is the title of the article again
"COVID-19 infection poses higher risk for myocarditis than vaccines"
How about people just do whats right for them and stop conforming to groupthink
Covid fatality is also age stratified. Besides, you might get it, you might not get it. The vaccines were mandated and people were made to get them to keep their jobs or to live their lives. People have different risk tolerance so it's normal that everyone out there has a different opinion.
> Among men under 40, there were an estimated four extra cases of myocarditis associated with the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine and 14 extra cases with the first dose of the Moderna vaccine for every 1 million men vaccinated. That risk rose with the second dose for all three vaccines studied and was highest for Moderna's, which had an additional 97 myocarditis cases per 1 million. For unvaccinated men under 40 with COVID-19, there were 16 additional myocarditis cases per million.
which shows that the Moderna second dose is riskier than infection for men under 40? I have to admit I've been really disappointed by the way people have been minimising this. Part of that is being in that group of men < 40 myself (it has always been stratified by age and sex), another part of it is I think we need to be as transparent as possible about all risks in medicine as opposed to giving fuel (and good arguments) that information is being suppressed or charitably ignored because people are panicking.
