Also, myocarditis can be more or less severe, IIUC. The article links to this CDC presentation, and on slide 5 they characterize myocarditis associated with mRNA vaccination vs myocarditis associated with viral illness. The proportion that recover cardiac function, and the time to recover cardiac function are better in the mRNA case.

- adamsb6 4y agoLike just about everything, I would expect myocarditis to have some distribution such that there's a group of people who feel bad, but not bad enough to see a doctor. For the vaccines I would expect that people would be less likely to see a doctor because the vaccine side effects were so widely talked about, and going to the doctor carried a risk of COVID exposure. The second does of vaccine knocked my wife and I on our asses for three days. I broke a sweat unloading the dishwasher and then had to go take a nap to recover. I figured we were just unlucky enough to have an especially strong reaction and didn't bother a doctor about it. Was that mild myocarditis? I'll probably never know.
