Please take a look at the subgroup analysis

Can you provide the "subgroup analysis" here instead of making all of us individually go read the paper? Thank you.

To save others time, here is the "subgroup analysis": https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0/tables/4

For men under 40 who got vaccinated one time, the rate of myocarditis increased from 8 to 21 events per million OR from 15 to 33 events per million (depending on the vaccine).

For men under 40 who got a second dose of the vaccine, the rate of myocarditis increased from 5 to 21 events per million OR from 7 to 18 events per million (depending on the vaccine).

For men under 40 who got infected with COVID, the rate of myocarditis increased from 7 to 17 events per million.

Am I reading the data wrong? My takeaway is that there is extremely low risk of myocarditis for young men (which is supposedly the troubling subgroup).

Surely, these extremely low risks of myocarditis are far outweighed by the benefits of the vaccine.

The state of the world where you make bold statements to then sheepishly spam "take a look at the subgroup analysis".
