I’ve been hearing allegations about the vaccine being linked to myocarditis? Can someone explain what’s going on here?

    The vaccine gives young men mostly but others as well myocarditis. Still at a way lower rate than covid though, that causes myocarditis as well. Myocarditis isn’t even that dangerous.

        I personally prefer the direct question as mentioned in your article - but we shouldn’t consider that in some cultures this may be seen as abrupt/rude.

          In most cultures I would think, and so it makes sense that people do it, but the point is asking something irl is not the same as making a post online. You’re not interrupting and asking anything of anyone really, just putting it out there.

    It’s been linked to it yes, primarily in younger people, but it’s still very rare. Overall, the vaccine is still much safer than a lot of stuff we normally do every single day, and way safer than risking getting COVID-19 when you have no protection whatsoever.

      Honesty is important. The chances of worse symptoms via covid are infinitely higher, but there is still a miniscule chance. This means everyone is safer with the vaccine
