Vaccine vs COVID Myocarditis
Comments debate the comparative risks of myocarditis from COVID-19 vaccines versus from COVID-19 infection itself, frequently citing data showing higher risks from the infection especially in young people.

The vaccine carries risk of cardiovascular issues but then you increase that risk as well when you get covid.How is a fact being downvoted.
The risk of myocarditis may be higher for an unvaccinated person than a vaccinated person which makes the "downplaying" much more nuanced, doesn't it?
What the linked study [1] is saying is that unvaccinated people who get COVID-19 are even more likely to get Myocarditis than vaccinated people; it counters the allegation that people should not get vaccinated because of the risk of Myocarditis.Even if the vaccine increased the risk (it doesn’t), the risk of COVID-19 is orders of magnitude higher than the risk of the Myocarditis heart condition.There have been, from the total of 12,910,312 18-24 year-old people vaccinated, [2] about
Yes, even for young people. Even when you look at the side-effects of the vaccine, they tend to be more common among people who get the virus. For example, myocarditis is several times more common among young people who get CoVID-19 than among young people who get vaccinated.[1] Given that everyone is eventually going to get infected or vaccinated, getting vaccinated probably significantly decreases the risk of myocarditis among young people.1. <a href="https://www.nature.com
I wouldn't say "a lot of people". See https://nap.nationalacademies.org/resource/27746/interactive...: only a few conditions, such as Myocarditis, are linked to the mRNA vaccines. I'd be way better off taking even the dodgiest vaccine (Oxford–AstraZeneca, which is no longer in production)
Which is higher, the risk of the vaccine or the risk of COVID (and not just for you, for people you meet and possibly care about)?
Given that the risk of myocarditis after covid 19 infection is six times worse than after vaccination [1] this is just a cost of doing business.(where "cost of doing business" is defined as "not dying from a disease which is easily preventable in the vast majority of cases")[1] - https://www
The risk from myocarditis from getting Covid-19 is higher than getting it from the vaccine. The decision to vaccinate even young people made sense during the height of the pandemic and it doesn't make so much sense now anymore.
Your risks are much higher from covid than from the vaccine.
The abstract from your linked paper seems to indicate the risk is minimal.>According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, myocarditis/pericarditis rates are ≈12.6 cases per million doses of second-dose mRNA vaccine among individuals 12 to 39 years of ageThat's a 0.0013% chance of getting something that "almost all" patients had resolution of with or without treatment:>Almost all patients had resolution of symptoms and signs and improvement in d
