While what you say is true, you should be sure to apply the same standard of evidence to the claims made here.
As the currently top comment is pointing out, the "30-35%" is based on, essentially, rumor. They haven't given MRIs to every Division I athlete. Some unknown number of people had MRIs, and 30% of those had myocarditis.
Was this a representative sample? We have no way of knowing. But here's a scary article, regardless.
- slg 6y agoI read the top comment which I thought hit that point strong enough that I didn't need to mention it, but yes the 30-35% number is nowhere close to definitive either. After seeing your comment and rereading my post I edited the 2nd to last sentence in my comment from "30-35% is a hugely alarming number" to "30-35% would be a hugely alarming number" due to the uncertainty.
- timr 6y agoFair. I couldn't tell which point you were trying to convey with the original wording.
