Actual numbers from the article: --- There were 283 observed cases of heart inflammation after the second vaccine dose in those aged 16 to 24 in the VAERS data. That compares with expectations of 10-to-102 cases for that age range based on U.S. population background incidence rates, the CDC said. ---

The population for this is 130 million people who had one or both doses.

So, the chances might increase from one in a million (or possibly one in ten million) to as much as two in a million.

OK. I don't think about one in a million risks, even though they happen to about 8,000 people a day. It's not reasonable.



I'm just curious, do you think your chances of dying or having serious problems from catching covid is higher or lower than one in a million?
