> Among men younger than age 40, the risk of infection-associated myocarditis was higher compared to the risk of vaccine-associated myocarditis: 16 extra cases associated with having infection before vaccination, with the only exception of a second dose of Moderna vaccine Fair enough, it seems two dose moderna for men younger than 40 has higher risk of mycardis. > this would mean that the vaccines are a net harm for younger age groups I'm not sure that's the right conclusion. Appart for men younger than 40 with two dose moderna, your link shows a higher risk of mycardis from infection. Also that study didn't have data about the outcome, but some of the other datasets I've seen showed that mycardis induced from COVID-19 in unvaccinated is often worse. Personally, either or, I find overall the risk of Mycardis seems on par between vaccines and Covid-19, even if in some circumstances one can be higher than the other, they both remain low and close to each other. I personally wouldn't worry about Mycardis in that case, but I'd focus on other side-effects instead that are more troubling, such as the long COVID related ones discussed here. I'm not saying I think men under 40 benefit much from the vaccine. And in fact I think you bring a great point in that most of the advice is generalized and focused on at risk individuals, and I too would like if more nuance was provided, that took each individual context into account, age, race, sex, pre-existing conditions, weight, exposure, various COVID strain, etc. My main point was that you have to compare your own risk of getting Covid-19 unvaccinated against that of getting the vaccine, you can't look at each on their own, they both have more risk than not getting vaccinated and not getting COVID, but you must choose which you'd rather risk having first.
