UK Now Reports Myocarditis Stratified by Age and Sex After Vaccine or SARS-CoV-2

  This is from last month FYI, I'm curious if we have even more data now that this is true. I keep wondering if I should get the Pfizer booster especially when they announced we might have an Omnicron resistant one in March and the risk of myocarditis is higher for my age group....

  Most young people recover from myocarditis quickly [1] so it stands to reason that covid symptoms in the unvaccinated could mask myocarditis and never detected because individuals recovered, whereas if you get myocarditis from vaccination, it’s more visible against the backdrop of health and therefore more apparent. I’d want to see some explanation for a mode for why the mRNA vaccine would lead to higher rates of myocarditis than from infection when the vaccine is effectively a subset of the virus. https://newsroom.heart.org/news/young-people-recover-quickly-from-rare-myocarditis-side-effect-of-covid-19-vaccine https://newsroom.heart.org/news/young-people-recover-quickly...

    There was a (non-peer reviewed) paper that was posted to HN that demonstrated a correlation between Covid spike protein levels in the blood and myocarditis, whether that be from vaccine or from infection. You’re probably right but I don’t think we would ever really know

  I'm not sure I understand. Is this article equating the contraction of myocarditis with the contraction of SARS-CoV-2, from a risk perspective?
