Your claim is directly contradicted by the abstract of the paper you linked to:
"We estimated an extra two (95% confidence interval (CI) 0, 3), one (95% CI 0, 2) and six (95% CI 2, 8) myocarditis events per 1 million people vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively, in the 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273. This compares with an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) myocarditis events per 1 million patients in the 28 days following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test."
1 shot of mRNA vaccine = 6 per 1 million = 0.0006%
2 shot of mRNA vaccine = 10 per 1 million = 0.001%
COVID infection = 40 per 1 million = 0.004%
COVID infection has a 4 times higher chance of myocarditis than the vaccine. It also has significantly higher risks of many other things, some of which are also touched on in the abstract.
- dahfizz 5y agoOPs comment is deleted, so I can't see the paper. Is there a reason to believe the risk of myocarditis will continue to rise with each booster?
- incrudible 5y agoThe comment is flagged by the "community", not deleted. You can see it by turning on "showdead" in the settings.
- dahfizz 5y agoCool, thanks!
- hcurtiss 5y agoI’m not so sure 1 and 2 preclude 3. Is it not increasingly likely you get it even if vaccinated, especially with Omicron, thereby suffering the increased risk of all three (four with booster?)?
- dahfizz 5y agoIts also not a guarantee you get Covid. Current stats are that 50 / 330 million of the USA population have had Covid. So comparing the risk factors of the vaccine to covid directly is a bit misleading, IMO.
- peteradio 5y agoHe's referring to the under 40 group which is indeed supported by the paper to say there's double the number of myocarditus events per pop group among those who were double moderna vacc vs sars-cov2 infected.
