Isn't the correct answer to this - it depends? Neither side can make a complete blanket statement. It depends on age and which vaccine you take. For example, the risk of myocarditis is higher for ages < 40 and those who receive the Moderna vaccine.

Vinay Prasad talks about this extensively. Here is one of his posts. It's also more of a risk for Pfizer, depending on the sex, age and dose.

No, it’s actually a higher risk from COVID in every age group and gender, tracked all the way down to as narrow as 2-year age group buckets.

The risk of COVID myocarditis is higher everywhere.

It varies, but COVID is worse in every bracket still. By a significant margin.

These things are tracked. Unless you’re arguing for some sort of conspiratorial coverup, it’s just not true.


What about the studies in the links I provided? I cited my sources. They clearly show for some groups the risk of myocarditis after vaccination is higher than covid.

Another piece of evidence. We have multiple countries that have significantly altered vaccine doses for young males or have completely prohibited using specific vaccines for certain groups. They cite the increased risk of myocarditis and other heart issues.

Can you please cite your sources? The main study I can think to support your position is the CDC study that used vaers data, but it's highly disputed.

You can't just yell conspiracy at people. You must have evidence.

We are doing real harm to people. I have no doubt in the future there will be federal funded compensation and healthcare schemes for victims. Similar to how we compensate and provide medical care for victims for nuclear related atrocities. My grandpa was one of many harmed while working at a uranium processing facility, after the DOE guaranteed its safety. He basically battled cancer all over his body for decades. I tell this story as an example of government deception, lies and media narratives that led to many many deaths and injuries. We aren't any wiser today than we were back then.
