That 0.4% chance is not random though - it's heavily weighted toward 18-29 year olds with severe existing co-morbidities, extremely high BMI's, etc. For an otherwise healthy 18-29 year old, it appears that the risks from taking the vaccine are comparable / slightly exceed the risks of getting Covid. Your statement that most myocarditis cases do not require hospitalization is inconsistent with the public health data Ontario is releasing - it's closer to 60%+ of (confirmed) myocarditis cases that require hospitalization.

Wait a second. You went from one dataset to another. You can't do that without re-doing the entire analysis. According to the dataset you are citing, the rate of myocarditis for 18-29 yo. is 129 per million, which is 0.0129%. COVID hospitalization rates are 0.4%. So with that dataset instead of this one, you run as 40x higher chance to be hospitalized from COVID than from vaccine-related myocarditis. And it is quite likely that comorbities have an effect in vaccine-related myocarditis hospitalizations.
