Sure sounded scary at the time though so at least it started a conversation

While I agree that it is not a huge threat, just showing 0.6% doesn't really mean anything in relation to comparison across populations.

Myocarditis occurs in about 10 of every 100,000 people (0.01%), so if their study is showing 3 of 789 (0.38%) having myocarditis, that would actually suggest it is occurring in that population at a much higher than normal rate (with low confidence due to sample size).

But yeah, I genuinely don't think it is a huge concern overall.

Mammaw is also not a 6'7'' OT weighing in at 307.

That population being Athletes who tested positive for covid not athletes in general. His comparison doesn't hold water especially when the frequency would need to be compared to athletes who tested positive for other viruses know to cause this issue to see if there is a large difference.

I wasn't being sarcastic when I said I genuinely don't think it is an issue. My main point was just saying x% have this doesn't really mean anything by itself. Have a great day.

Blocked by pay wall so I cannot see many details. I do wonder if we did echocardiograms on every single athlete who get flu how many would have similar findings. I am betting about the same number and it resolves without treatment.
