Finally, some real information.. Three points of note:
1) The number of Covid infections is likely either over-reported or under-reported. That could push the results in either direction.
2) The end results are an average of men and women; if separated they would show men are more susceptible to myocarditis (higher than 15 per million for <40 in Moderna's case).
3) We don't know how boosters will affect these rates.
- ImaCake 5y agoHow can COVID infections be over reported? They are obviously underreported in the total population due to the limitations of testing. Is the over-reporting risk a matter of how they adjusted their data in this study?
- detaro 5y agoI could see it happening if your data source works of raw test result statistics, since you don't know how often the same person was tested. But that doesn't sound like it is the case here, since they reference a specific database they use "at individual patient level".
- me_me_me 5y agoI think its a mute point anyway, excess deaths are hard to argue statistic. Also hard to explain with any other means than Covid.
- trompetenaccoun 5y agoInteresting point you're making about excess deaths being hard to argue. Have you looked at the data? Because some countries don't show any significant excess (some even record negative excess during the pandemic) while in some other places we're only seeing access deaths since mass vaccination started. Conveniently, many who want to argue that covid vaccines help only pick places where the data seems to show what they want to see, ignoring all the opposite examples and that correlation doesn't imply causation.
