> 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.
16 in 1,000,000 for two doses. For reference, your chance of being struck by lightning in any given year is 1 in 1,222,000.
Oh, and:
> 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.

- vorpalhex 5y agoI am, and I'm not seeing anything drastically different. You realize this paper is combining hospital admissions and deaths as a single figure, right? That means there are duplicates (114 total deaths). Myocarditis is, while something that should be monitored, generally minor especially in otherwise healthy adults. The treatment for it "keep an eye on the patient until myocarditis goes away". Any kind of infection or virus can cause it, as can many most kinds of drugs, and it's rarely a major deal.
