The COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech appears to put young men at elevated risk of developing a heart muscle inflammation called myocarditis, researchers in Israel say. In a report submitted today to the Israeli Ministry of Health, they conclude that between one in 3000 and one in 6000 men ages 16 to 24 who received the vaccine developed the rare condition. That is a high number.

Not surprised that you cut out the last sentence in the paragraph you quoted.

The COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech appears to put young men at elevated risk of developing a heart muscle inflammation called myocarditis, researchers in Israel say. In a report submitted today to the Israeli Ministry of Health, they conclude that between one in 3000 and one in 6000 men ages 16 to 24 who received the vaccine developed the rare condition. But most cases were mild and resolved within a few weeks, which is typical for myocarditis. "I can't imagine it's going to be anything that would cause medical people to say we shouldn't vaccinate kids," says Douglas Diekema, a pediatrician and bioethicist at Seattle Children's Hospital.
Is it okay to now conclude that the Pfizer vaccine causes myocarditis? Asking for a friend.
No, I think it's still too soon to conclude that the Pfizer vaccine causes myocarditis. It's okay to tell people to consult with their trusted physician.
By the way, after reading the article you linked and others, I'm now even more concerned about the prevalence of myocarditis from COVID than I was before, so thank you for that. If people are genuinely concerned about myocarditis, they should consider it from all angles and they may want to take other precautions in their life to avoid myocarditis, not just avoiding a safe and effective vaccine.
My main objection to your practices is that you continue to ignore all benefits of the vaccines and overstate all potential negatives in order to promote your agenda. I would hope that people would be more circumspect when making personal health decisions like this.
I believe heavy exposure to covid 19 is far more dangerous to young kids than the pfizer vaccine. Light exposure, on the other hand, is a different story. I am only arguing against the safety of mrna vaccines and questions related to their durability (which then requires more doses). The vaccines are effective.
Multiple facts that should be taken into account in any decision whether to take the vaccine or not:
1. 500 persons are still dying from COVID on average every day in the US. (Not counting all over hose who are being infected by Long COVID) They are all vaccinated
2. The P1 variant of COVID is growing fast in the US because it is more contagious than the original COVID.
3 the P1 variant is more deadly to the young than the original COVID
4. The current vaccines are proving effective against the P1 variant and against original COVID.
If you are a parent you decide whether you prefer to expose your kids to: 1.. the obvious and certain dangers of COVID and long COVID which might result in death or serious health repercussions or 2. the remote possible dangers of taking the vaccine. Which might have some lesser repercussions for your children.
My kids are now in their late 30's and early 40's. However looking back to when my kids were minors,i if they were under 18, I would choose alternative number 2.
I could never forgive myself if I had chosen alternative number 1, and they had suffered the serious effects of COVID.
As parents we all have o make choices for our children. Some turn out right, some turn out wrong. Some in between.
When I was a parent or minor children, I went with the odds. What was most likely to do the most good for my kids. And I avoided those choices that were the most likely to do the most harm for my kids.
