it could still be worth it, if it only causes mild heart inflammation that vanishes in a few weeks if it prevents catching a non fatal Covid that may cause a few weeks of pain and have long term effects.

Remember that all we know are the immediate effects of the vaccine. The long term effects are not known, as this vaccine has been out a mere 7 or 8 months and is still on clinical trials.

I agree, but this is true of Covid itself as well. We only have a few more months of insight.

We unfortunately play in a world of unknowns.

Note that I was just replying in the narrow context set by the parent. I won't state anything in the bigger picture, I'm not an expert.

Yeah, but it changes the calculus somewhat. Heart muscle inflammation is no laughing matter and can be fatal if combined with hard exercise.
