Reply to comment by karlkrum in The new omicron boosters are very effective at preventing seniors from being hospitalized with Covid. The latest omicron boosters are 84% effective at keeping seniors 65 and older from being hospitalized with Covid-19 compared with the unvaccinated by Wagamaga

The risk of death or long-term complications from COVID is higher than the Myocarditis risk. The vaccines wouldn't be on the market if they had a net negative.

Eh, for people who arnt really at risk of Mycarditis sure, but those same people, the elderly mainly, are way more likely of death and long term complications. The younger generations, the ones with a higher chance of developing Mycarditis, have a almost negligible risk of death from covid and risk of long term complications.

If a medical professional determines that the risk of complications from the COVID vaccine outways its benefits they will not allow that person to receive the vaccine. They also seek informed consent from all patients. A sweeping restriction on covid vaccines is absurd.
