In the US the risk of dying (in 2016) was between 0.8 and 2 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles driven [1]. This doesn't even include serious injury of external death and injury (ie to cyclists and pedestrians, which is significant). Commutes are generally recorded as minutes per day but this estimate [2] suggests 41 miles per day is the average. That's almost 10,000 miles per year. So just from driving to and from work the approximate risk of dying every year is approximately 1 in 10,000. "Myocarditis" here isn't a disease or even necessarily a negative outcome. It is quite literally heart inflammation. That could be a risk factor for actual medical issues or it might not. Note that getting Covid-19 is a risk factor for myocarditis [3] so any alleged risks from a vaccine have to be compared to the risks associated with getting the disease the vaccine mitigates or even prevents. But logic, facts and statistics here just don't matter. As you see from comments on this thread and any similar thread, any skerrit of evidence of a risk of myocarditis inevitably results in comments that can be boiled down to "see! we told you! even before we had any evidence!" These claims are peppered with (meaningless) personal anecodtes and cherry-picked VAERS data. Side note: VAERS is a voluntary unfiltered reporting system. You can quite literally report to VAERS "the vaccine killed me". At this point we've administered billions of vaccine doses. The fact that we're still having this conversation about the vaccine killing people is a sad testament to human psychology and wanting to believe something in the complete absence of any evidence to the contrary. I also now we'll be hearing about this until the next pandemic. Covid vaccines get compared to the "safe" existing vaccines but all of those vacciens were treated with the same skepticism and baseless conspiracy theories when they came out. The only thing that eliminated that opposition was the next pandemic. Remember how we used to constantly hear about the links between MMR and autism? Covid means that's been completely forgotten and the same will happen with Covid.
