So for some context/comparison, here is a peer reviewed, published cross sectional study (the link is not peer reviewed yet, and is a single study pulling from VAERS, which is problematic for a number of reasons) - https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9067/8/7/607/htm https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9067/8/7/607/htm
Main finding is that, yes, the risk of cardiac complications in minors seems higher taking the vaccine than not(1). However, they appear all to be minor, transient complications, even when they require a hospital visit (i.e., for monitoring). Whereas the risk of COVID is, obviously, death.
(1) I call out seems because cardiac issues are not usually looked for in minors until/unless they become severe. There is likely more alarm and concern over the recently vaccinated, leading to higher incidents of follow up, and thus, detection, than in the unvaccinated population of years past.

- incrudible 5y agoMyocarditis is not a "minor and transient" complication. While it is not immediately life-threatening, especially when detected early, it can have a significant effect on mortality risk later on. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5951175/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5951175/ It also often goes undetected, so the VAERS data should serve as a lower bound. > pulling from VAERS, which is problematic for a number of reasons The FDA also uses data from VAERS for its assessment: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2021-08-30/03-COVID-Su-508.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-...
