> Cool, now what's the incidence of Myocarditis and similar after COVID-19 infection?

Which mechanism would cause myocarditis when you get COVID 19?

The 2nd link in nradov's comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33599243) states:

> These findings indicate that introducing the mRNA vaccine into the circulatory system can lead to acute cardiac inflammation. The mechanism behind this requires further elucidation. However, it is speculated that this may be due to the pro-inflammatory properties of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used as carriers for mRNA.

The actual COVID-19 infection doesn't have any lipid nanoparticles, does it?

Agree with overall sentiment of your comment though: the overall real-bad symptoms caused by an infection when fully unvaccinated are probably not worth skipping vaccine.

The clinical trials in op's article as well as nradov's comment on "aspiration" to reduce myocarditis risk during vaccination are both important topics to explore.

I'm not sure how it causes it but it seems that it does:

> During March 2020–January 2021, patients with COVID-19 had nearly 16 times the risk for myocarditis compared with patients who did not have COVID-19, and risk varied by sex and age.

> To minimize potential bias from vaccine-associated myocarditis (6), 277,892 patients with a COVID-19 vaccination record in PHD-SR during December 2020–February 2021 were excluded.
