I've been flip flopping on this decision, even as Ontario has now enacted a Vaccine Passport. This report doesn't comfort me, It is still very rare, 20 per million for Moderna, and only 7 per for Pfizer. That said, what impact on the heart could it have that isn't followed with a visit to the hospital and thus isn't being measured? Or, just "slight", small palpations etc.
With the advent of new mutations, I am leaning towards not getting it. Not because I am anti-vax, the dirty buzzword they love to use (just as they use terms like "climate denier" etc for anyone who question the science), but because I am not in the highest risk and I take precautions as best I can.
A report quietly released last week by Public Health Ontario (PHO) tallies the number of people in the province who have presented to hospital with heart inflammation following mRNA vaccination, and it skews heavily towards young people.
Broken down further, 31 of these cases were in 12- to 17-year-olds and 75 were in 18- to 24-year-olds. The vast majority — 80% — were in males.
The report explains that PHO issued a directive in June for public health units to increase their surveillance of this side effect following reports from the United States and Israel of similar concerns unfolding in those countries.
“The reporting rate of myocarditis/pericarditis was higher following the second dose of mRNA vaccine than after the first, particularly for those receiving the Moderna vaccine as the second dose of the series (regardless of the product for the first dose),” the report explains.
