How does this problem square against 611,000 deaths and the millions additional without a vaccine?
Hey, all those people that have been saying that the virus is totally overblown will undoubtedly say this is like having a head-cold, amirite?

How often do people get myocarditis from other causes?
It has been linked to Covid.

Dunno, I've had worse head colds.

CDC says this stuff is rare, often subclinical and the Mayo Clinic says minor instances heal on their own.

200,000 cases a year prior to Covid so we have a baseline and we will see where this goes.

Myocarditis is rare in younger people, to be sure. When looking at the 600K-plus deaths, the fraction of younger people should be considered when looking at the incidence of myocarditis.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

️. We’re talking 16-19 year old boys. Over 600 cases in Israel. I doubt there were many cases of COVID in16-19 year old boys in Israel? I would love to see the comparison. -

I would love to see the comparison.I have kids and nephews/nieces slightly older (actually Israel says their risk is greater). Personally I have not heard one story of a side effect from the vaccine. I have read the studies.
Honestly I wouldn’t spend a nanosecond worrying. You did the right thing and hopefully he is feeling better.
If the advice is take one shot where there is no evidence of myocarditis that would be fine. 85% effective after that.

This entire exercise is one of risk management. For some of us, the numbers are 1% vs .00005%. That's a huge difference. For others, the numbers might be .0003% vs .00005%. For teenagers, the numbers might be even lower.
