      This needs urgent clarification. Assuming 1:1 randomization this suggests ~1/39 16-17 year olds randomized to booster developed myocarditis. We’ve always said clinical trials too small to detect myocarditis but looks like that’s no longer the case with boosters in the young.pic.twitter.com/Yq6tj5tc86

      You’re giving a public point estimate from a sample of 78? And one incident among the 39? Like how? The confidence interval on that is big enough to string together a few aircraft carriers, and have room to spare.

      you are correct the CI for myocarditis will be massive with this scant info for a healthy 16 yo getting dose 3, but what is the point estimate & CI for their reduction in severe outcomes/ hospitalization reduction from dose 3? i truly don't know

      My question would be if the increase in myocarditis risk from dose one to two is there for from second to third dose—or it just tops out at second, to compare with what the myocarditis risk from breakthrough infection looks like, the relevant comparison, as the first question.

          We already know this group has low severe outcome risk, so not sure there's that much measurable mystery there, but we also know this is an infectious disease and these young people have parents and grandparents. But I don't disagree that this is not a priority booster category.

          In the same vein, what do you think the hospitalization risk from reinfection is, in young men, compared to the hospitalization risk from vaccine myocarditis? Have we even bothered to study this, before mandating two shots - or, in some cases, boosters - for school attendance?

          As a double-vaxxed, 28 y/o male with a family history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, I find the eagerness to boost everyone 16+ highly uncomfortable w/o further study. I have people close to me putting considerable pressure to get a third dose bc of how unequivocal the CDC is.

          I’m not necessarily terrified of a third shot, but at the same time, it’s not remotely clear that my personal cost-benefit of another shot is positive either given the very very low risk covid poses to me.

          Dose 3 will likely have a numerically lower myocarditis risk than D2, due to time interval & prelim data, but the benefit of D3 wrt further reduction in hospitalization/ severe disease will also be lower, so the balance is even more uncertain & delicate

          My 15yr old had first dose 4 weeks ago and now is recovering from covid. Stuffy head cold symptoms. Missed second dose because covid +, asked doctor when safe to get second dose.. told us to call the pharmacist. Now I’m struggling, since he has natural immunity.
