A significant difference, no?
Why?
----
After reading the article at Stanford, the word I'd choose is 'how' as in 'how vaccines can cause myocarditis'.
That's generous.
There is no sane reading of data at any point in time netted out risk in this way.
"Avoiding the clot shot" is a cultural statement, not a medical or scientific one.
It’s unfortunate it’s taken so long for the hidden truth to come out. It’s also unfortunate they swept this under the rug which just increases people’s suspicion around vaccine safety. I hope they, the establishment, learn from this boondoggle.
This is an extremely rare event that was nonetheless detected by scientists who then nonetheless updated dosing guidelines to mitigate it as early as February 2022.
This has been an active area of focus since before the drugs were even released which is why such events were in fact tracked closely during the 30,000+ participant clinical trials.
Those gigantic clinical trials (some of the largest RCTs ever conducted) didn't detect this issue because of its extreme rarity.
This is exactly the drug development and post-market surveillance process working correctly. At every point (and even still) the risk calculus is heavily weighted toward vaccination for nearly everyone, and slightly weighted toward vaccination for the most SAE-prone group (young men).
And that's all assuming COVID doesn't have latent systemic effects like many viruses do (chickenpox, ebola, or measles come to mind).
The skeptics have been wrong at every turn. It's even too generous to say a broken clock is right twice a day.
You assume good faith on their part. These studies are run by the same companies that stand to make billions based off the study outcomes. For example we know now when a toddler died in the Moderna covid RTC of cardiac arrest after vaccination they reportedly covered it up and didn't report it.
This all is starting to sound a lot like what happened with vioxx. Where an increase in heart problems was detected in RTC but covered up. Vioxx would go on to cause an estimated 50000 deaths from heart attack.
Here is the data collated from 125 countries: there were about 31 million excess deaths across the 2020-23 period.

You are a zealot.
And even the risk assessment hasn't changed, the scientific community was still right in that the risk from the vaccine of this side effect is much lower to that of Covid itself.
So I'm really not following your logic, your statement seems plain false to me.
> “But COVID’s worse,” he added. A case of COVID-19 is about 10 times as likely to induce myocarditis as an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination, Wu said. That’s in addition to all the other trouble it causes.
I recall hearing about this as a low-probability potential side effect during the pandemic. What do you mean by "swept this under the rug"?
Writing a LinkedIn/Facebook post about how the vaccine causes heart problems might result in you losing your job and would definitely cause you to lose a few friends. There was a massive stigma around pointing out flaws in vaccines at that time, it was not a nuanced issue, either you were all in or you were a psycho anti-vax nut.
But importantly, just like other flu vaccines, the Covid vaccines cause them at lower rates than getting infected while unvaccinated, and the actual severity is also lower.
It's pretty well-established by this point that mRNA Covid vaccines caused myocarditis in younger males. They also protected against the significantly higher risk of myocarditis from Covid itself. This second point is conveniently omitted by the "skeptics and conspiracy theorists" when they cry vindication.
1. "Putting seat-belts in cars and making us wear them!? That's nothing but a dangerous government conspiracy! For your own safety, never wear the annoying and evil devices!"
2. "OMG, look at this! Scientists had no choice but to admit the horrible seat-belts do cause injuries on people during a crash!"
3. "THIS PROVES I WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!!11"
