Myocarditis and Pericarditis Following mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination | CDC

You act like the scientists are the enemy.
I wouldn't like to chance it with my son or grandson. It could result in heart damage which is often difficult to diagnose in young people.

I knew a college-age kid who suddenly dropped dead for no apparent reason. He was an athlete, a basketball player, so he had great cardio and was in fantastic shape. Later, the family released a statement saying everyone should not take it for granted that their kids are healthy just because they appear to be so. The young man had an undetected heart condition of unknown cause so it was truly a tragedy for the family and something they will never get over.

My point is something like myocarditis or pericarditis (which is worse as my mom developed that after her pacemaker was implanted) might cause a heart defect. For that reason, and given the still unknown side effects of these powerful vaccines, I don't think they should be given to anyone under 25.
