I’m a medical doctor that’s been seeing Covid patients since the start of the pandemic and I’ve never seen any patient with any Covid vaccine-related complication.

I thought I read the risk of myocarditis was higher for people infected with the virus than those that were vaccinated, is this true?

It’s true. The only cases I had seen in the last 3 years were in patients with Covid.

That's the subtext of pretty much all the vaccine side effects. I don't think there has been a single side effect reported that isn't also caused, at higher rates, by infection.

This is true. The incidence of any myocarditis post vaccine is in the neighborhood of 4 cases per 100,000 vaccinated individuals. The incidence for non-vaccinated individuals post covid infection is around 2-5 times higher depending on the study (i believe the range was due to exclusion factors of the study, i remember reading on that found a certain subdivision of patients had higher incidence and were excluded from subsequent studies)

That said, the incidence rate for both infection and vaccine is extremely variable depending on age and gender (as this study clearly points out). This study was specifically looking at the age group that other studies showed the highest incidence levels from vaccines and some of the lowest rates from infections.

If you're a doctor then you should be smart enough to know that a lot of these cases of myocarditis are asymptomatic in children. To make it simple for you, they aren't going to the doctors because they don't feel different. You wouldnt really be able to tell unless you did a study and recorded heart health data.
