I agree, it's dangerous to shrug off the link that the vaccine doesn't have any risk associated with it,but then there's also from the same article you linked earlier:
> That compares with another study from Israel which found that in adults over 18, getting Covid-19 increases risk of myocarditis by 18 times – a far bigger increase in risk than from the vaccine.
That was the public health/pharma messaging from a few weeks ago. The link is getting too obvious to ignore so that's shifted to "Well it happens but it isn't a big deal" recently.
What do you even mean? National vaccination regulations reflect the myocarditis/pericarditis risk since half a year already. E.g. Germany doesn't vaccinate under 30s with Moderna etc.
How did OP become so confident in the assertion that it does not cause heart issues? The US media has been claiming the myocarditis risk was some sort of antivax conspiracy theory, that is when they covered it at all.
Not sure which "media" you got this from, myocarditis cases were first reported in young athletes with Covid, then army personnel that was vaccinated, if I remember correctly.
The absolute risk is very small though, a lot smaller than e.g. driving a car.
The headline is: "No, the COVID-19 vaccine does not cause myocarditis", the content does not line up with the assertion the headline makes and sort of weasel words it's way to "well it does but less then Covid", but most people just read the headline. I think media like this is what confused people to think: "the COVID-19 vaccine does not cause myocarditis".
I've heard similar assertions on shows like The View and Good Morning America, but I don't have clips.
You are still much better of with the vaccine than with covid.
While mRNA vaccines increase the risk by a factor of 3.2, covid increases the risk by a factor of 18.3. But there are many other averse things that may happen during an infection with sars-cov-2
I'm confused what your point is. The link between myocarditis and COVID vaccines is well-known and has been for a long time.
And, per scientific literature, it's a rare side-effect with little long-term implications. This is neither recent nor a shift in messaging, and implying such is dishonest.
