  the stats on it have varied from report to report around 200 to 700 cases per million. That is not "rare" as some people advocating vaccinating large populations. Given that the super low infection rate, and miniscule mortality among young healthy adult men, it violates do no harm / NNT.

    Not really, because the risk of myocarditis/pericarditis when contracting Covid is several times larger than through the mRNA vaccines. Makes sense given that you are exposed to fewer viral particles through the vaccines. There is also a difference between Moderna and Biontech/Pfizer, which is why many countries vaccinate under 30s only with Biontech. And yes, SARS-Cov-2 will very likely become endemic, like the other human corona viruses before it. As a result close to 100 percent of everybody, including young healthy adult men, will contract the virus.
