What's more, they found that myocarditis risk was higher in the unvaccinated population after infection. This information didn't get to the so-called "skeptics," who willfully ignored data that didn't fit their conspiracy theory.

I also get a kick out of people only looking for side effects they think of as side effects, since they are what people think of as side effects for completely different types of technologies.

What?

>In men younger than 40 years old, the number of excess myocarditis events per million people was higher after a second dose of mRNA-1273 than after a positive SARS-CoV-2 test (97 [95% CI, 91–99] versus 16 [95% CI, 12–18]).

From your own study you linked. The first comment I ever posted on HN was regarding a similar study where there was no control group whatsoever for unvaccinated people.

I can’t get over the sunk cost reaction to this vaccine. No one who was not immunocompromised should have ever taken it. Period.

And this is just regarding your study.

Remember how the AstraZeneca vaccine (it was called the “Oxford vaccine” before that bad PR) was taken off the market instantly after reports of blood clots.

One can go on endlessly.

Let's assume that it's correct that "no one who was not immunocompromised should have ever taken it." (It's not, but let's assume that it is)

Was this knowably true in Q1 2021?

Can you please share the specific, contemporaneously available information that made this knowably true?

If you can't, then it's not "sunk cost" infecting someone else's thinking, it's hindsight bias infecting yours.

It was already recommended that healthy young men get the Pfizer vaccine instead of the Moderna vaccine.

I'm not sure why you're bringing the non-mRNA AstraZeneca vaccine into this. Keep your conspiracy theories straight.

Until when? At what point? Where exactly? The Astra Zeneca (Oxford) vaccine is relevant because it was taken off the market almost immediately after the effects were found. The technology behind it is utterly irrelevant to the point that I am making.

How am I a conspiracy theorist when I literally pointed out what the study said. Is it not a fact that the Oxford vaccine was taken off the market almost immediately after effects were concretely found.

Let's get your theory straight. You posit a conspiracy where some cabal kept mRNA vaccines on the market despite harms while removing the AZ vaccine. This theory requires a conspiracy. Hence, conspiracy theory.
