The risk of getting a myocarditis from COVID itself is higher for him, if we compare the Biontech/Pfizer vaccine. Only for Moderna for people below 40 the risk was higher for myocarditis, and even that comparison doesn't include all the other risks from a COVID infection.
- ls15 5y agoIs he not a male under 40?
- fabian2k 5y agoHe can take Biontech/Pfizer and not Moderna (which is also the recommendation in some countries for younger people)
- ls15 5y agoJust for correctness: the myocarditis risk for Pfizer second and third dose exceeds the myocarditis risk from covid for this group as well.
- ls15 5y agoThat still has an elevated risk. And he already had covid. What is the justification for asking him to take the risk again?
- DonHopkins 5y agoHe also runs the risk of being stabbed on the court during a match by a deranged fan of his opponent like Monica Seles was, or taking an errant serve directly in the groin then getting knocked backwards and striking his head on the hardcourt surface like Dick Wertheim did. So what? Tennis is a dangerous sport.
