The only real risk I’ve been able to find in literature of mRNA vaccines is myocarditis in young men

Occurring in roughly 8 out a million doses. (https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/safety-availabi...)

You make your own risk assessment, but that seems extremely low risk as a drug that prevents millions of deaths

epidemiological risk of myocarditis from COVID-19 infection is from seven to over forty times higher than the risk associated with receiving an mRNA vaccine.
