In a tiny minority of people it can cause heart inflammation, which is temporary and almost always fully reversible

Is that tiny minority smaller or larger than the tiny minority of people that “they” said was caused by getting Covid? Cause if you remember “they” were reporting breathlessly about all the College football players that were gonna drop dead from myocarditis from getting the Covid.

Which is the excuse, if I remember correctly, for the Pac12 and Big 10 for cancelling much of their seasons in 2020?

What I’m wonndering is why does one mans tiny minority trump another tiny minority? Politics? I think so. That and a persons desperate attempt to hold onto and justify their long held beliefs as fact. Such as “The vaccine will end the pandemic”. Well we now know that’s a fraud. But when this Covid eventually burns itself out then some folks will insist that the vaccine did it. Whatever.....

Those who get myocarditis from the vaccine are about as likely to get myocarditis from Covid. The immune system reacts in an abnormal way to the presence of the spike proteins --it doesn't care where the spikes come from -- whether from the virus or are artificially created in the body by the mRNA vaccine. So if someone had heart inflammation from the vaccine, he or she would very likely have had heart inflammation after contracting Covid, though there may have been a difference in degree.

Also, vaccines are very specific to their target. If the target changes, the vaccines will lose effictiveness depending on how much the target has changed. For small changes the vaccine can still be quite effective, but for large changes the vaccine can lose much of their effectiveness or even completely. That's why flu shots are needed every year because the flu virus is continually mutating. The vaccines for Covid were created for the *original* strain of the virus ( version 1.0 if you will) and if you remember, they were EXTREMELY effective. It had almost ended the pandemic here in the US and also in Israel and other parts of the world. Masks were off and people were freely mingling without care or concern. Infection numbers had plumetted. Then the Delta variant came along later in the Spring which had sufficiently deviated from the original strain, so the vaccines could no longer target them properly. That's when a lot of the effectiveness in preventing spread was lost, but the vaccinated were still doing better than the non vaccinated while down with the virus. The argument that "we were promised Covid would go away if we got vaccinated but it's still here, therefore the vaccines are a failure" is a nice try from people who want to discredit the vaccines - but it doesn't fly. The vaccines succeeded spectacularly at what they were designed to do (target the original strain of Covid).. but then the goal posts moved and you can't blame the vaccines for not working.
