My reply where I was claiming that the comment from arinlen was manipulative was flagged, but I stand by my statement. It’s also in no way a personal attack to describe someone’s comment that way.
Here’s why I claimed it’s manipulative: the study key points are “For young males receiving 2 doses of the same vaccine, data were compatible with between 4 and 7 excess events in 28 days per 100 000 vaccinees after second-dose BNT162b2, and between 9 and 28 per 100 000 vaccinees after second-dose mRNA-1273.”
That is a direct quote. Now look at arinlen’s TLDR: only 5 versus 4-7 events for Biontech and 9-28 for Moderna in the key points.
The study authors clearly conclude that “The risk of myocarditis in this large cohort study was highest in young males after the second SARS-CoV-2 vaccine dose, and this risk should be balanced against the benefits of protecting against severe COVID-19 disease”.
Quoting the outcomes in the general population from a study highlighting the effects in young males could have been a mistake. Given that the commenter insisted that their TLDR was correct after I pointed the above out, it’s more likely that they want to suppress any association between mRNA vaccines and heart inflammation.
This association is by now well established and many EU countries have dropped Moderna for young males.
