"In our study, definite or probable cases of myocarditis among persons between the ages of 16 and 19 years within 21 days after the second vaccine dose occurred in approximately 1 of 6637 male recipients and in 1 of 99,853 female recipients."
Moderna shot is worse then for boys. What again is the rush to vaccinate the lowest risk age group?

People don’t understand basic math and threat modeling. How likely you are going to get covid and how serious it can be (for you and others)? How likely you get something serious from vaccine (only you) but most likely avoid serious covid (and spread it less to others)?
Of course, forced vaccine might look bad from very selfish perspective, but benefits from bigger picture are obvious even with side effects.
Because they still contribute to chain of transmission to the most vulnerable members of society, likely in a disproportional way since younger members of society tend to socialize more. Fighting a virus is a collective action. In order to stop transmission to the vulnerable members, you need to cut edges along all paths through the graph. Furthermore, additional spread, even among healthy people with no side effects, increases the probability of mutations that lead to more fit variants capable of causing even more sickness and death.

How are these not absolutes?
The theory of vaccinating people to protect others is taking another hit. It looks more that we should focus on proposing the vaccine to the people at risk (clearly identified, >65 years old, or multiple co-morbidity) for their own survival
