It's difficult to judge the tradeoff between Covid and myocarditis. I got my Moderna booster shot about 2 weeks ago, and I felt palpitations next day. Was that myocarditis. Maybe. I guess I'll never know. Did it bother me? Very little. I'm quite happy that my immunity to Covid went up. I'll personally trade a few palpitations for good Covid immunity.
But that's just a case of 1. How severe is the myocarditis other people experience? According to a study I just googled [1], out of 2 million people, only 32 were hospitalized with myocarditis or pericarditis, with median hospitalization time of 1 to 2 days, no ICU, and no deaths. Doesn't sound so bad to me.
