It is? I don’t think we know that.
From David Strom:
They do no analysis of relative risk between COVID infection and vaccine reactions, and understandably so. It is essentially impossible to do that given that almost everybody has been infected by COVID at some point, but the precise numbers are unknown. Hence there is no definitive way to compare the relative risks, although it is known that COVID itself can cause myocarditis, as can other viral infections.
However, it is pretty clear that the risk is not insubstantial, given the fact that 5 patients were identified in a relatively short period of time at one hospital alone in Berlin. We cannot safely extrapolate from there to any particular number of cases in Germany or elsewhere, but the risk is obviously quite real. That is why Germany recommends against using the Moderna vaccine in anybody under 30. A precaution not made in the United States, where our public health officials are pushing the vaccine heavily and with no distinction between them.
