During the experimental [[:COVID-19 vaccines]] campaign, many vaccine recipients have suffered vaccine-associated [[:myocarditis]]. There is a debate over the nature of the damage caused in these cases of myocarditis as well as the relative risk of myocarditis associated with [[:SARS-CoV-2]] infection or [[:COVID-19]] cases. | During the experimental [[:COVID-19 vaccines]] campaign, many vaccine recipients have suffered vaccine-associated [[:myocarditis]].

In the December 31, 2020 MMWR the CDC released information related to COVID-19 vaccine safety in children aged 5–11 years, covering the November 3–December 19, 2021 period of slightly over a five weeks. The information was drawn from VEARS and VSAFE and was restricted to those who received Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

| "Conclusion: Despite a low absolute risk, there is an increased risk for carditis associated with BNT162b2 vaccination. This elevated risk should be weighed against the benefits of vaccination." |

Associate Professor Vinay Prasad wrote a Substack piece on December 26, 2021((https://vinayprasadmdmph.substack.com/p/uk-now-reports-myocarditis-stratified?justPublished=true)) that revisits the results of a paper that appeared in Nature Medicine called 'Risks of myocarditis, pericarditis, and cardiac arrhythmias associated with COVID-19 vaccination or SARS-CoV-2 infection' by Patone, Mei et al..((https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0.pdf)) His analysis begins with the finding that the incidence of myocarditis in those under 40 years of age is higher post-vaccination than it is is post-Covid infection. It just gets worse from there. | Associate Professor Vinay Prasad wrote a Substack piece on December 26, 2021((https://vinayprasadmdmph.substack.com/p/uk-now-reports-myocarditis-stratified?justPublished=true)) that revisits the results of a paper that appeared in Nature Medicine called 'Risks of myocarditis, pericarditis, and cardiac arrhythmias associated with COVID-19 vaccination or SARS-CoV-2 infection' by Patone, Mei et al..((https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0.pdf)) His analysis begins with the finding that the incidence of myocarditis in those under 40 years of age is higher post-vaccination than it is is post-Covid infection.
