A year and 2 days ago today, @drjohnm, @KrugAlli, @ifihadastick & I uploaded our preprint reporting a rate of post pfizer dose 2 myocarditis of
94/mill (1/10,600) in 16-17yo males & 162/mill (1/6,200) in 12-15yo males.
@CDCgov is now finally catching up & reporting similar🧵

If we hadn't been villified as "anti-vaxxers" spreading "mis" & "disinformation", how would the conversation around minimizing the chance of this adverse event have changed & how many cases of myo/pericarditis in young males would have been prevented over the last year?
Remember, all the cases included as a myocarditis case in our paper "were required to meet the CDC working definition for probable acute myocarditis", were adjudicated by a cardiologist, inc cases made public

Note: when comparing post vax myo to post covid myo, what you find is dependent on
1. age group & sex
2. amount of asymp covid testing
3. pfizer v moderna
Nordic study: males 16-24 had 380/mill post pfizer-moderna combo myo, 28x higher than post covid!

And now today the CDC is recommending with no human data on benefits or risks that *everyone* 12 and up get a bivalent booster. "There is no bad time to get your COVID-19 booster."
Really?🤔
Why are nuance & individualized recs so difficult for @CDCgov ?

Also, consider the CA bill AB2098 which would punish physicians who question the "scientific consensus"/spread "misinformation" (like our preprint was once considered)
