Is the chance of long covid higher than the chance of myocarditis? Is one more dangerous than the other?

Myocarditis is very serious. Any child with it will need cardiology visits for most of their life.

Covid can also case myocarditis and at a higher rate[1] than after the vaccine.

Yes, but I thought we were talking about the push to vaccinate children, which is under say 14 years old. The younger you are, the less likely you are to have symptoms from COVID, so of the numbers listed in that article it's not clear what proportion of those complications from COVID came from the upper age brackets rather than the 12-15 year olds.

And how stupid is it that these articles talk about studies but still don't actually link to them?

Well, the middle-man doesn't want you going to the source. What's his job gonna be if you do?
