Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The study does seem to show that risk likely does up, but it’s still rare AF.

Also, you know what also likely increases the risk of some of these conditions? Getting COVID 19.
There is likely a similar incident of poor outcomes by people who simply leave the house and go to the doctor
Shit click bate headline. But saying vaccine risk is low doesn’t generate buzz.
Risk is very veeeeery low. Overall, your risk of getting seriously ill goes way down with vaccination.

Expected rates were obtained by participating sites using pre-COVID-19 vaccination healthcare data stratified by age and sex (Faksova et al.).
The original paper seems to be far too ineffective a methodology.
That is not an effective control; at least take the same health data analysis from the unvaccinated population. Given that even folks with the vaccine can catch less severe cases, you really need to root out COVID-19 as the cause of those complications.
Finds links to health conditions: like being alive and not dying from COVID?
Pre-covid, I got sick following open heart surgery and ended up with a case of pericarditis.
It felt like I was being stabbed right in the goddamned heart.
Doc explained it can happen as a result of any infection and it would get better on its own. Had me taking ibuprofen for it.
So you're saying simulating an infection via vaccine can also cause it? (shocked pikachu)
They're talking about myocarditis, not pericarditis. I don't know how bad the latter is, but I've heard that the former is a health emergency. It can apparently cause arrhythmia, tachycardia or even cardiac arrest in worst cases.
Having said that, the news headline does sound a bit alarmist. Nobody ever claimed that vaccines are absolutely safe. It's always a tradeoff between the risks associated with the vaccines vs risks associated with the diseases it's trying to prevent. Side effects like myocarditis are handled on a case by case basis.
I took the vaccines and never contracted covid-19. I didn't suffer any side effects either (apart from the expected fever) - likely the same for the huge majority of vaccine takers. Had I known about these risks then, I would have still opted for the vaccine. The effects of long-covid are that horrifying. Unfortunately, articles like these are giving ammunition to antivaxxers.
It's also worth noting that there's a higher chance of getting myocarditis from covid than from its vaccine. In fact, we lost a friend to myocarditis and septicemia caused by covid. His blood had shown signs of a bacteria that's normally found in the lungs. We later learned that this was due to the severe lung tissue damage caused by covid.
Same here and as a patient with a pre-existing heart condition, if there was a significant risk from the vaccine, well, I'd already be dead. :)
