We still are getting people who are obsessed with the CV-19 vax pimping lies about adverse events. Why they bother at this point is beyond me. One clearly observed risk, especially to young males, was heart inflammation, referred to as myocarditis or pericarditis. Once that became apparent, given their extremely low risk from CV-19 infections, no child and no young male adult should have been recommended to be vaxed. A new study across several hundred million people validates that there was an excess risk of heart inflammation associated with CV-19 vax, although the additional risk was small. There were a total of a little over 12,000 cases out of over 340 million people vaccinated. But the risk was higher, as shown in other studies, for young males, both children and adults.
It should be noted that a CV-19 infection also carries a risk of heart inflammation, perhaps greater than the risk from the vax, so this has to be weighed in any vax decision. At this point, however, given that almost everyone has been infected at least once by CV-19, and therefore has some natural immunity, I would not see why anyone would get additional vax, and I certainly wouldn’t do it to a child.

As noted, natural covid infection carries the risk of heart inflamation at similar rates ( or slightly higher rates) as with the vax. Thus, the risk of negative heart events is poor reason not to get vaxed.
At the same time, I choose not to get vaxed (even at age 65/66 at the time) for the following reasons:
A) My projected risk of serious illness was extremely low
B) My projected level covid illness after vax was anticipated to be only slightly less than if I was unvaxed
C) and lastly and most importantly, the level of long term immunity post infection was projected to be much stronger from natural infection.
