The article mentions about 218 of these cases occurring in Connecticut all about the same time in young people. The obvious message from the article is that the vaccine has something to do with it...but correlation isn’t necessarily causation. Is the phenomena spread out uniformly in numbers of similar aged young persons across the nation or is it occurring in location clusters?

An abrupt line above baseline expectations occurring uniformly across the nation(taking into account population densities) would suggest a vaccine related issue..(moderna or pfizer would have to be filtered into the discussions).

Clusters of reports suggests other causative agents(perhaps a bad batch of toxic vaccine in random areas) or other issues.

Sorry my post should read 18 people in Connecticut not 218...sorry.

It depends on how many cases of myocarditis occur in that population in an average year.

So far, I have not seen those stats.

I've seen it, and I can assure you it's virus and immune-response related. Teenager, Covid infection ~3.5 months before receiving Pfizer vaccine. Days after the first dose develops same symptoms (e.g. loss of taste) as during Covid infection, and develops definitive myocarditis (enzyme elevations, MRI confirmed). Resolved on NSAIDS, happily, without sequelae, but definitely vaccine related. Bank on it.
