Healthy boys may be more likely to be admitted to hospital with a rare side-effect of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid vaccine that causes inflammation of the heart than with Covid itself, US researchers claim.

  Honestly, this should be the link used as "FR24 News" does not seem to be the most reputable site.

    I couldn't post it as the headline because I had earlier posted it (as a comment) against an article making the opposite claim. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28501456 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28501456 Now I know better. I really would like someone versed in this stuff to examine these contradictory claims. I get they're both preliminary studies but some info on how we wound up with opposing conclusions would be helpful.

  It's very interesting that your new source links to the study and the main link does not. Hey dang, in light of that I think the URL of the submission should be changed to the new link, and the title updated to match.

    once again - it's bizarre that this got downvoted. This comment is utilitarian, not really controversial.

This would have been good news for the vaxxers, until we learned that we'll have to keep taking the shots for the rest of our lives. One-COVID to one-jab is not a meaningful comparison!

  I believe the consensus is that Covid-19 will follow the path of previous SARS and eventually mutate into a more benign variant. That is - Covid-19 will eventually become "it's just the flu", like what was (then,falsely) claimed in early 2020.

    Yes, this is why I assumed that it won't just be three or five or seven jabs but jabs forever just like the flu. And every single one of those will have risks to the heart, unless there's something better that comes along. I'm not even sure that health authorities will even permit something better to come along, given the reaction so far to any vaccine alternatives.
