Most at risk are young males (~12 - 30), particularly those who are athletes. A study looking at athletes in the Big 10 (college athletes) found mycarditis in 2.3% of their athletes after COVID-19 infection. (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/fullarticle/2780548)

This adds to other evidence collected thus far which has shown that incident rates for myocarditis for the vaccines is about 4,000 times lower than it is for COVID-19 infection.

I think the smart policy here would be to more closely monitor anyone who fits the profile for higher risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis and possibly avoid the second shot if they show significant clinical presentation. However, the vast majority of cases of myocarditis resolve without intervention. The individual simply rests from strenuous activity for a period and they’re fine.

These are decisions that parents should be making alongside the advice of their pediatrician. The vaccines should be available, but there will always be cases where individuals show a particular risk factor that changes that risk/benefit calculation.

These are mandatory at many colleges.

“Most at risk are young males (~12 - 30)”

Why are young males or young people period getting Jabbed for a disease that they are effectively immune to.

Do you have any concept of what happens in a child's body in the 12 - 17 cohort during their developmental phase.

This is where the data is

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2021-06/03-COVID-Shimabukuro-508.pdf

starting on page 27.

The data observed are all ER visits and most are admissions. Anything that sends you to the ER is not “mild” and history on this condition is that somewhere around 1 in 5 of those who end up in the ER or admitted with this condition have enough serious and permanent damage that within five years they require a heart transplant and, if they don't get one, they die.

Heart transplant recipients have a one-in-three mortality within five years; the annual risk of death is approximately 4% per year on a forward, permanent basis.

You are advocating for the crippling of a future generation for no perceivable benefit.
