Reply to comment by IndigoFenix in Study of 1.65M COVID Vaccine Doses Finds Rare "Myocarditis" Generally Mild—More Than Half of Patients Didn't Need to be Hospitalized by Voices4Vaccines

after reading both I don't see the probem. 77 cases out of 1.65 would be rare. 34 out of 77 were hospitalized. Not even half That is exactly what the article says. I took that directly from your cut and paste.

Please explain what was wrong with the title. It just quotes the study. You may also note there were no deaths reported in the study. At least in your quote.

I think what they are saying is that the title could have multiple meanings.

1st meaning is accurate to the study. Halfing the patients who had myocarditis 34/77

2nd meaning is Half of the total number of study participate s went to the hospital

not accurate. I don't see how people could believe this. Then again people who don't read the study and are antivaxxers aren't the brightest people so maybe I be do believe it.

I think the title is clear enough and adds vital information.

If anyone wants to clarify a better way to write it out, I'm all ears. Newer to this platform and more familiar with Twitter (where editorialization abounds).

My thought was just that most people wouldn't get the core info out of a long JAMA article, since the unique addition of this study as it was circulated on medtwitter, was the low rate of hospitalization. So thought some editorialization was necessary.
