Heart risks, data gaps fuel debate over Covid-19 boosters for young people

> 97 myocarditis cases per 1 million.

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"

I had pericarditis (which i initially thought was myocarditis until I had an MRI) shortly after vaccination. People on this forum literally urged me to go get a booster despite my experience. The overzealous opinions go both ways.

How about people just do whats right for them and stop conforming to groupthink

Your comment shows just why people don't trust anything any more. Anything that you don't agree with is an enemy by the tone of your message, and dismissing any other opinion except the one that you hold by labelling it as "so called debates".

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.
