mRNA Vaccines effects on Young Males

I've been seeing a lot of reports recently of young guys (15-29) having heart issues/inflammation and being diagnosed with myocarditis and pericarditis more and more often. 

5 countries in Europe recently banned Moderna for young males citing increase heart inflammation risk.

Whats everyone's thoughts on this? Has anyone experiencing these effects or have friends/families that have? Really worried that such significant health risks are found in these mRNA vaccines so early, especially concerning young males.

In one study1 of more than 5 million people who had received the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, 136 developed myocarditis. The other study2, of more than 2.5 million people who received the shot, identified just 54 cases of myocarditis.

Nope, inflammation is extremely rare.  Nothing to be worried about.

 

Those are just the numbers mate.  The real shit takes are from the users on here who love to gloat about how 99% of people survive the virus but are afraid of a vaccine that 99.99999% of people survive.

 

Oh this isn't even the worst of it.  In the human drug trials the mRNA vaccines increased the likelihood of stillbirth by like 5 to 7x.  Of course this ins't published in the studies becuase pregnant women were removed as a test class after "disappointing" side effects.

 

The number increased but you also left out an important part of the numbers that wasn't discussed in that article.  The stage of pregnancy. The miscariages were happening in the 2nd trimester which is traditionally a time period where miscariages reduce.

You do realize that at least 10% of pregnancies end in a miscarriage? If this risk goes up “like 5 to 7x,” then that would be 60-80% of vaccinated women’s pregnancies ending in a miscarriage, which isn’t remotely true.

The figures you’re talking about compared March 2021 vaccine miscarriages with January 2021 miscarriages and found they were higher… because more women were vaccinated. This isn’t compared to a population baseline, and you’ve cited none. Your claim is outrageously and patently false on its face. You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

No, the growth basis was made against expected rise in miscariages due to the vaccine.  The baseline growth was expected to be between 1.5 and 2.25% the numbers they saw were between 7 and 11% over population nominal, i.e. an almost doubling of the rate of miscariages in the test population. 

 

You do know that even when pericarditis heals it leaves scar tissue which means your heart will never work at the same full capacity it did before? Also, if you get myocarditis or pericarditis you are more vulnerable to getting it in the future from benign things.
