In reply to Zobel
I stand by original statement. Based on what we KNOW, both the vaccine and Covid carry increased risks of myocarditis. Until there is evidence that the vaccine reduces myocarditis risk after "breakthrough" infection, I'll stick with what we know - 1 plus 1 is greater than 1 - myocarditis risk associated with a vaccinated person getting Covid is greater than myocarditis risk of unvaccinated person getting Covid. I'm not willing to attribute to the vaccine a benefit (reducing myocarditis risk) without any evidence. I have good, albeit circumstantial evidence, of my original statement.Zobel said:
A majority of Americans have at least one of the comorbidities which increase risk of death from covid (obesity, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure) and something like 40% of adults have at least two. That percentage increases with age.
A comorbidity doesn't kill you. That's why it's not the cause of death. Being diabetic or overweight is a comorbidity to covid. Those aren't death sentences. This is such a tired and crappy argument.Great. I agree with what you've written here. Welcome to the realm of responsible opinion-having. You've gone from "if you are are vaccinated AND get Covid you have increased your risk of myocarditis relative to someone who has not been vaccinated" to "the risk may be higher and it may be lower."Quote:
I agree that Covid MAY carry a different myocarditis risk for vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. The risk MAY be higher and it may be lower. I'm trying not to speculate and only speak to facts we know.
