I just did.
This is merely one facet of a more complicated issue.
Getting Covid is generally more likely to lead to myocarditis than the vaccines. This is even true for young adolescent males:
https://www.aappublications.org/news/20 ... ren-083121The risk of myocarditis for children under 16 years is 37 times higher for those infected with COVID-19 than those who haven’t been infected with the virus, according to a new study.
Authors from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the study provides more evidence that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh a small risk of myocarditis after vaccination.
Researchers analyzed data from more than 900 hospitals and found inpatient visits for myocarditis were 42% higher in 2020 compared to 2019, according to a new Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Among 36 million patients, about 0.01% had myocarditis between March 2020 and February 2021. The median age of people with myocarditis was 54 years, and 59% were male.
About 42% of patients with myocarditis had a history of COVID-19, mostly within the same month. The team determined the risk of myocarditis to be 0.146% among those with COVID-19 and 0.009% among those not diagnosed with COVID-19.
Across all ages, the risk of myocarditis was almost 16 times higher for people with COVID-19 compared to those who aren’t infected. The myocarditis risk is 37 times higher for infected children under 16 years and seven times higher for infected people ages 16-39 compared to their uninfected peers.

So if we look at actual studies, we can see that vaccination (and thereby protecting oneself from infection) is much less likely to lead to myocarditis than getting infected.
The report mentioned in the article can be found here:
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/ ... 21-DM64772It is important to note that your evidence only looks at Pfizer, while my study looks at Covid cases. Yours only looks at the effect of one vaccine, while mine looks at the effect of all of them.
It could easily be that only Pfizer causes this problem in adolescent males.
So, even if one specific vaccine is related to a higher chance of myocarditis for adolescent males, this simply means that adolescent males should get another of the vaccines, if the worry is myocarditis.
And it still is not a good reason for anyone other than adolescent males to get vaccinated. Neither you nor I are adolescents, so this is irrelevant to both of our situations.
This argument of yours also assumes that adolescent makes live in bubbles where they could not possibly infect others, and is thus highly unrealistic.
Try again.
Now in the long term we may find many decisive reasons as to why these gene therapy vaccines were a disaster across multiple demographics. Until then continue jabbing like it's free candy.
This is useless speculation and not an argument to not get vaccinated.
