Hmm... I got Moderna shots. Am I gonna melt into a puddle..? Real talk though, what's wrong with Moderna?

  It increases chances of inflamation of heart muscle in young men. If you've had it already then you are fine, but Moderna is not adviced for men under 30.

  1/8th the chance of Covid of giving you mild myocarditis. Unlike with Covid, it tends to resolve within a couple months.

    Far less than 12.5% of the general population gets Covid symptoms at all, though.

      They're not saying 1 out of 8 vaccinations gives symptoms, but that covid is 8 times likelier than the vaccine to cause those symptoms. From [0]: > They found that, during the first 12 months of the pandemic, males aged 12 to 17 were most likely to develop myocarditis within three months of catching covid-19, at a rate of about 450 cases per million infections. > This compares with 67 cases of myocarditis per million males of the same age following their second dose of a Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccine, according to figures from the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Researchers added together cases after first and second doses to reach a total rate of 77 cases per million in this male age group triggered by vaccination, a sixth that seen after infection. That's about ~7 times likelier from covid than vaccines. No data specifically on omicron (yet) though.
