So, they are halting the Moderna vaccine due to myocarditis and recommending the Phizer shot for younger men. Yet, Israel found the Phizer shot lead to myocard

  Moderna and Pfizer are both very similar and likely cause Myocarditis for the same reason. However it's also likely that people will have a worse reaction to Moderna (if they have one) because the vaccine doses are far larger than with Pfizer. This is born out in the statistics that show that while we see Myocarditis for both vaccines, the prevalence seems to be higher for Moderna.

  I assume that the numbers reported (one comment quoted 6/39000) are actually lowballed, since you constantly hear about cases where symptoms obviously relevant to covid/vaccines are dismissed as not connected. I would guess decisionmakers take the reluctance to report into account when estimating the true risk factors.

  Sweden have had 125 reported cases of myocarditis for people that have used Pfizer and 44 that used Moderna. But then there have been 10,6 million shots of Pfizer administered and only 1,8 million shots of Moderna. So quite clear that the risk is higher for Moderna, even though the risk is low for both of them.
