Doesn't your link say that it was transient and temporary?


fixed my post. tnx


Doesn't your link also say this?

"No definitive case of myocarditis was found. However, the two participants (both women) with vaccine-associated myocardialinjury and chest pain met the Brighton Collaboration case defini-tion Level 2, indicating probable myocarditis in those patients (0.3%[95% CI 0.1–0.9%])"

So 2 of the participants had a .3% possibility?


0.3% is the percentage of participants, not the confidence in the diagnosis.

Every result reported in the paper follows that same pattern: "[N] participants had [result] ([% of participants], [95% confidence interval])".


0.3% is a lot for a medicine to be called safe.


What do you think a safe threshold should be?

And note that your own link said that the .3% of participants were those that could possibly show signs of myocarditis, they didn't actually contract that disease. So what does your paper show that is damning evidence to you?


I guess what I am asking you is what is the most important figure in that paper, as I read it and I'm no scientific expert but it made me come away more confident in the efficacy and safety of the vaccines. What am I missing that you are finding?


I'm not the person who posted the paper.
