Um....no.

It says between for males ages 12 through 17 about 12 to 17 cases out of 10,000 with in 21 days after receiving the vaccine and 50.1 to 64.9 cases estimated out of 10,000 over all once they got infected. That's like near 1 percent both after receiving the vaccine and those who got infected with out taking the vaccine....no where near half.

I understand the mistake but don't use that and spread that around.

It also says people who had the virus before they got the vaccine were more likely to experience myocarditis.

There is all sorts wrong with your post.

Firstly its 100,000 not 10,000. Secondly its 22-36 people per 100,000 that get myocarditis when they have the vaccine. Not 12-17 as you stated. Its all in black and white from the excerpt of the report.

Thirdly I read his post as saying you have double the risk of getting myocarditis by catching covid vs taking the vaccine. Not that half the people getting covid get myocarditis. Hopefully @hhh can confirm.

I am curious though if you get the vaccine and then go and get covid shortly after how does that affect your odds of getting myocarditis? I had a friend who caught covid and ended up with a mild case of myocarditis and his doctor advised him not to take the booster this year but he would be fine to take it the following year providing it clears up.
