"Without allowing an infection to take hold". Its right the fuck there. And mRNA doesn't even involve any viruses entering the body, dead/deactivated or otherwise.What the fuck are you going on about?
Infection - The invasion and growth of germs in the body.
Once the vaccine is introduced into the body, it recreates the disease without allowing an infection to take hold. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to develop defences that will act against specific germs or viruses should the body one day come into contact with them.
Not "directly covid related or just with covid". You tried to use all hospitalisations, regardless of whether there was covid at all.I didn't forget what I posted. The math doesn't add up to your numbers even if I grant you all assumptions in your favor. I don't care if the hospitalizations are directly covid related or just with covid because your math is still wrong either way.
Exponentially lowers it to what?The vaccine and/or natural infection massively and exponentially lowers your chances of getting severe disease via a covid infection.

Infection does not require it to take hold, infection just requires infection. I said that the mRNA vaccines may not be an infection technically based on semantics several posts back. The point is a vaccine (regardless if mRNA or not) stimulates the immune system to basically do the same thing as getting the real virus/bacteria. That immune response causes many things, including myocarditis. And the mRNA vaccines produce very strong immune responses (hence why people have to call off work when getting the vaccine). The reason the leading cause of myocarditis is viral infections is because it's the immune response that causes it, not the virus (that's why specific viruses aren't listed as the cause because it doesn't matter the virus)."Without allowing an infection to take hold".

And no, absolutely no set of numbers-- not 2% of 1%, or 2% of 0.3%-- results in less than 0.0005%.
Exponentially lowers it to what?
Because millions of people had covid more than once, and more than a few of them ended up in hospital or dead. Whereas the number of people who developed mild myocarditis from the vaccine numbers... what? Next to nothing. How many deaths?

Righto, so it is a Covid statistic; you just described it misleadingly to begin with ("There were 234,000 hospitalizations for people under 18 (from Fall 2020 to Spring 2024), which might not be DUE to covid, but I'll ignore that").Here's the article AGAIN. How is this not a covid statistic?
I'm quite aware of how to do the calculation, thank you-- the issue is that we're using different numbers to begin with. Yours is based on the above (and uses the entire population as the comparison). Mine was based on this (which limits it to those who had a recorded infection during the observation period). Yours comes to 0.3 for hospitalisations; mine comes to 0.9%.Here's the actual math, there's literally no way to get your 40 times higher risk as you claimed. You don't know how to math.
No, because that's horseshit.If you already had covid before the vaccine was available, there's literally no point in getting the vaccine, it's not gonna do anything but give you possible harms, there are no benefits. Do you not understand this very basic point?
What I originally said..."The point is [different thing to what I originally said]".
Whatever. Its not an infection. There are no actual viral organisms there to damage the host's system or reproduce. You may as well argue a shooting-range target is the same thing as an active shooter.

So if we take my number, we divide by 50 and come to 0.018%. Or if we take your number, we divide by 50 and come to 0.006%.
With me so far? If so, mind telling me how you're getting a number smaller than 0.0005%?
No, because that's horseshit.
The risk of harm is substantially lower. It's still magnitudes greater than the risk of myocarditis from the vaccine, because that latter risk is so stupidly negligible.
Vaccines replicate an infection whether giving a lot less potent version of the virus/bacteria or the mRNA vaccines that just give you the spike protein of the virus. The former is still an infection and the latter may or may not be based on semantics. Regardless, it's recreating in your body the same (very similar) immune response as actually getting the infection, and that immune response is the cause of inflammation. It's pretty obvious that the covid vaccine causes quite a response because of how often people have to take off work after getting the vaccine (which is not that normal for most vaccines). Everyone at my last job had to take off work for both shots when they got vaccinated, I didn't myself but I also got the J&J shot because it was just the one shot.
Hi. In today's episode, we look at some news stories we missed over the last month, including Grok's temporary jaunt as a white supremacist, the leaders of the FBI becoming the deep state, the EPA removing "E" and "P" from its name, and RFK Jr.'s attempt to explain how some other government agency is still doing the chemtrails.

No, that's not what you originally said. Several posts earlier your words were:What I originally said...
Uh-huh, but you originally just described it as the number of people under 18 hospitalised over a certain timeframe, without the link.Yeah, it's the amount of people under 18 that got hospitalized for covid, which is the stat you need to do the math to compare the rate of myocarditis to arrhythmia.
No: the myocarditis stat is for those who had that specific vaccine. 0.0005% is the increased risk from the vaccine.Yours is a RECORDED covid infection and those then hospitalized. It's like using the case fatality rate (instead of infection fatality rate) and saying the chances of death is like 5% (when it's like 0.2%). The myocarditis stat is for the ENTIRE population (of that group) and the arrhythmia stat is not, that is the problem.
Immunity wanes after a first infection, usually 3-4 months later. Severe reinfections are less common but still happen, even in those who aren't vulnerable. And the vaccine reduces that risk.What is just ONE benefit of the vaccine if you already had covid (for non-vulnerable people)?
It's not the actual viral infection that causes stuff like myocarditis, it's the immune response. Normal vaccines are infections, you can argue that mRNA ones are technically not.No, that's not what you originally said. Several posts earlier your words were:
"You also realize that the leading cause of myocarditis is viral infections, right? That's essentially what a vaccine does, it's an infection."
You then shifted what you were saying. Which is fine, so long as you acknowledge its not an infection. But that's the issue, isn't it? You never, ever just acknowledge a mistake, even a stunningly foolish or obvious one like that; you just endlessly dig the hole.
Uh-huh, but you originally just described it as the number of people under 18 hospitalised over a certain timeframe, without the link.
Its fine. Now you've clarified.
No: the myocarditis stat is for those who had that specific vaccine. 0.0005% is the increased risk from the vaccine.
We're comparing the relative risks of the virus and the vaccine, so it's completely appropriate that we look at those groups specifically.
Immunity wanes after a first infection, usually 3-4 months later. Severe reinfections are less common but still happen, even in those who aren't vulnerable. And the vaccine reduces that risk.
None of this is disputed. There is no serious person who'll tell you after a first infection you're completely immune forever, or that severe reinfection is impossible.
They're less common. Much less common, even.
But what's even less common that that? Myocarditis from the vaccine. You constantly dismiss small risks as nonexistent or ignore them altogether, which is why its so bizarre you're harping on about the most negligible, mild risk of all.
The vaccines we're talking about are mRNA. They are not live attenuated vaccines. They contain no viruses whatsoever.It's not the actual viral infection that causes stuff like myocarditis, it's the immune response. Normal vaccines are infections, you can argue that mRNA ones are technically not.
Infection - The invasion and growth of germs in the body.
Live attenuated vaccines use a weakened form of the virus, which can still grow and replicate, but does not cause illness.
Lazy, loose stats, as we've come to expect.The time frame is like 4 years and basically every person got covid in that time (at least 95+% did) so it's the amount of hospitalizations for the entire population.
"Why wouldn't that percentage extend to everyone else"? What are you even talking about? We're specifically talking about the people who received that specific vaccine. Within that group we know, roughly, the incidence.Yes... but that number reflects the chance of any one person getting myocarditis. If 1 million people got XYZ (and a random group of them obviously), and 0.0005% got ABC side effect, then why wouldn't that percentage extend to everyone else? Your arrhythmia percentage is not that. Your arrhythmia stat is that ~2% of people (in said group) with severe covid got it. Then you have to work out the chances of a random person (from that group) getting arrhythmia from a covid infection, which your number doesn't represent.
Uh-huh, and I addressed this. Immunity wanes. Including for severe infection. The risk is lower but remains extant. Vaccines lower it further.The vaccine prevents severe illness (and by prevent, I mean massively and exponentially lowers by several magnitudes the chances of it because I know you'll say that's technically wrong). You cannot make a vaccine that prevents infection for a virus like covid.
Which is even stupider once you see the stats. If you're rapist is a stranger, 40% of the victims are male. I.e. almost half these rapes are homosexual in natureIt's trans panic, sparked by men who are terrified that the women they try to rape will turn out to also be men, and that will make them GAY (which to them is a fate worse than death).
This is from just looking at raw numbers. Eg. New York has more murder than the back woods in Kansas. It would be weird if it didn't. If you talking about crime RATE, then the back woods is much more dangerousRepublicans have the perception that any large city north of the Mason-Dixon line is basically like Detroit in Robocop, with roving gangs killing and raping while the police hide in their headquarters. That's why you get people who haven't been further north than Atlanta talking about "restoring our great American cities from the crime-ridden hellholes they've become".
The J and J one was pulled because it was more likely to cause myocarditis. The other ones didntWhat the fuck are you going on about?

The vaccine and/or natural infection massively and exponentially lowers your chances of getting severe disease via a covid infection. There's no reason to get a vaccine if you (non-vulnerable people) had a prior infection, it doesn't confer MORE protection against severe disease. It's a big enough risk that the vaccines come to providing net harm vs net benefits to certain groups of people.
Both the mRNA vaccines had the issue. The J&J one was already pulled, there were no other vaccines in the US.
That doesn't necessarily follow.If you're rapist is a stranger, 40% of the victims are male. I.e. almost half these rapes are homosexual in nature
It does if you assume 100% of rapists are male. Which is not true, but it's a sadly common assumption.That doesn't necessarily follow.
