The author is not "Hoeg." Hoeg is a person who tweeted the article. The guy's source, "Risk of myocarditis following sequential COVID-19 vaccinations by age and sex," is a 1-paragraph news release about a forthcoming article that is under peer review now (lead author: Patone). After all this guy's nonsense about "reading the article," the new data suggests a risk of myocarditis after the booster shot as high as 13 per 1 million vaccinations compared to 7 per 1 million among COVID-19 infections. In other words, we're talking about a .000013% risk compared to a .000007% risk, with the tradeoff being protection from COVID-19. Even if this study survives peer review, the caller has no sense of relative risk or effect size. I think I'll still take the shot.

[@Reienroute]

If that's the same study which originally kicked off this specific antivax talking point, it goes on to state that even with the increased cases of myocarditis among boosted people in the aforementioned age group, the number which resulted in hospitalization or death were still greater among covid positive individuals. So it's no wonder the caller has to outright reject the existence of mild cases of myocarditis, because that's the one detail of the study which makes his focus on the number of cases completely moot.

"Mild myocarditis is not mild." Yep, that sums up this guy's whole worldview.

[@robbinburns6329]

You didn't listen carefully. The caller was saying "there is no such thing as MILD myocarditis". Now technically I'm sure doctors may label specific myocarditis cases as mild/moderate/severe. However, the spirit or principle of what the caller was saying is of course true - like saying there is no such thing as "mild" brain cancer or "mild" flesh eating disease. I use the example of an athlete with "mild" myocarditis following vaccination - this isn't just one week's rest and you can go back to running marathons. It's not like a "mild" sprain where the doctor says take a full week off and then another week to slowly re-introduce your sport and you should be good. I believe "this guy's" worldview and my worldview are the same. Myocarditis is indeed more prevalent after vaccination (compared to after Covid) as the scientific literature has now borne out, there isn't really any such thing as "mild" myocarditis, and the risk/benefit of the mRNA Covid vaccines is not positive for all age groups. Sure "this guy" might have been a little angry/emotional and could have comported himself better, but if I view the "debate winner" as "they guy who ultimately was more right", then he won and not Sam. Sam only won the "remain calm and appear rational" award.

As a doctor.... Yes, we absolutely expect literature to be peer reviewed.

[@robbinburns6329]

As a doctor...peer review is better than no peer review....but peer review is not the arbiter of "quality". With reference to the question "is myocarditis in young males greater after vaccine or after Covid-19?" the Nature paper is of much higher quality than the paper referenced by Zepps/Sam. This was covered previous to this call in some detail by Vinay Prasad (a form of informal peer review), which was available to Sam but he chose to ignore it. One year later the consensus is in and the caller and Joe Rogan were in fact right and Sam was wrong - myocarditis is many times greater following mRNA vaccination (especially Moderna) than after Covid-19. Sam chose trying to score cheap debate points over having an honest discussion of the data (which could have included things like peer review) and the result was yet another wrong Covid talking point that I still hear repeated to this day.

[@jermsbestfriend9296]

@@robbinburns6329 Well, I largely disagree with your opinion that Sam was wrong and the caller was right in any substantial way, and the followup to your statement that peer review isn't really essential with "I saw it on Joe Rogan" also gave me pause for concern. Are you a doctor? Maybe you graduated a long time ago and haven't maintained your licensing requirements properly? To the extent that peer review isn't absolutely essential, you should be consulting highly trusted organizations, exclusively, such as the ama, the apa, the cdc, etc. "Joe Rogan" is the antithesis of that: an editorial sports interview broadcast that dabbles in social issues, has no peer reviewed publications who dropped out of college: “I went to college but I fooled off. I barely paid attention. All I was thinking about was martial arts competition and stand-up.” I think he has his moments of being critical, but Rogan certainly isn't balanced and regularly hosts a culture club of totalitarian conspiracy theorists remnant of jeering early cpc Maoist Boxers. To the extent that what you're saying might have any merit, the study your referencing was actually pulled from print and republished after its peer review was re-tested, which is always a good sign--the type of stuff we see when a study recommends smoking tobacco for gingivitis, for example. Strangely, they did not make their raw data available in the most recent round: it's almost as if they're paying a low-quality journal to peer review and publish their work rather than using a journal that requires a high level of merit such as a mathematical review on top of a simple evaluation of honest citation and formatting. But let's really dig deep into the findings as they relate to your comment and the call: 1. "Many times greater"? Weren't you taught in one of your methods or metrics classes that this is a shady way of summarizing data, and weren't you told to specifically not use multiples in conclusions and headlines in your own publications? Because what's many times more than one? The correct answer is 2.1 or more: this hides the strength of the effect, and that's virtually always dishonest. 2. The caller said that myocarditis is as dangerous as stroke or heart attack. That's ridiculous. If you really are a doctor, which I don't contend, you know that myocarditis is a risk with most vaccines. We monitor patients for an hour, then they leave. We tell them to relax for a few days if they feel tired. Exaggerating the danger of myocarditis is stupid, just like conflating myocarditis by itself with myocarditis caused by an immune response to an illness or a vaccine. 3. In your statement, you suggest that myocarditis is common after the covid vaccine. In fact, it's most common in sinovax, and the majority of myocarditis events were in their earlier iteration of the vaccine which had lower quality standards and was tested on minority populations in places like the Philippines and South America. In fact, myocarditis is extremely rare in the vaccines used in the US. This might come as a surprise to you because you're cherry picking studies that count only one dose and three doses and neglect to mention that almost everyone who got one dose got two whereas only about half got three (for example, >80% of the UK got 2). Strangely people weren't dropping like flies. 4. That's probably because even when we look at the intentionally flawed studies that make no qualms about misrepresenting data with seemingly accidental ellisions of 47-147 million doses, depending on which of their publications you're looking at, temporally. But even if you allow their gross errors, you'd still be looking at less than 18 myocarditis events within 28 days of the vaccine per million people, a lot of which might just be related to the increase in sedentary lifestyle associated with being stuck inside. 5. If we actually look at confirmed cases of myocarditis instead of suspected cases, we're down to 2-6 cases per million people. Compare that to the 450 cases per million comfirmed in people with covid and the many other dangers of the virus, the fact is that the risk profile of the vaccine versus the virus is no contest. Now, I'm not sure if you really are a doctor or not. Maybe a chiropractor? Or a doctor of theology? But in medical academia or research, especially at a reputable school, you need to look through all of the research on a topic to form an opinion, and you need to look at each section to be sure that there are no contradictions and that the methods are done well, and then you're supposed to ask for all the raw data. These are reporters: they may not have time for that. Joe Rogan certainly doesn't: he's citing individual studies based on single search terms on Google--not even using academic search--and mainly reading from abstracts, which is the sensationalist portion of garbage publications. I encourage you to go back for a diversification in research if you're actually a doctor because this type of low quality referencing is very concerning in terms of the risk to your patients. At least within the past 3 years, you should do an exhaustive search of peer reviewed publications and look at all of their findings before you jump into a culture club. It's extremely irresponsible and frankly you're violating your ethical oath if you're getting involved in anti-science cliques like Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson (or any cliques, really). Do your own research. If you're a doctor, you should be the authority not the appealer.

If they can't, you are full of it. This guy just wanted to defend his God and only made himself look like a lunatic in the process.

[@jasjfl]

This isn't quite true. I'm in year 4 of a chemical biology Ph.D. and actually being able to replicate experiments is a big problem in biological sciences especially. There was a recent review in Nature where a group went through trying to replicate highly cited experiments, and I can't remember the number but a shocking amount could not be repeated. This is because the requirements to get into top journals are so high now that it usually requires 10-20 scientists doing specialized work in collaboration making it difficult for anyone else to pull together that much expertise just to check their work. Others replicating your experiments is definitely not a requirement for publication. Also, this caller isn't entirely wrong about peer review. Bio and medrxiv exist so that important work can be put out there quickly prior to peer review. Scientists monitor these websites and read and consider the work.

The Abstract of the study by the way: Between 14 June 2021 and 4 September 2021, 33 Chinese adolescents who developed acute myocarditis/pericarditis following Comirnaty vaccination were identified. In total, 29 (87.88%) were male and 4 (12.12%) were female, with a median age of 15.25 years. And 27 (81.82%) and 6 (18.18%) cases developed acute myocarditis/pericarditis after receiving the second and first dose, respectively. All cases are mild and required only conservative management. The overall incidence of acute myocarditis/pericarditis was 18.52 (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.67-29.01) per 100 000 persons vaccinated. The incidence after the first and second doses were 3.37 (95% CI, 1.12-9.51) and 21.22 (95% CI, 13.78-32.28 per 100 000 persons vaccinated, respectively. Among male adolescents, the incidence after the first and second doses were 5.57 (95% CI, 2.38-12.53) and 37.32 (95% CI, 26.98-51.25) per 100 000 persons vaccinated. Conclusions There is a significant increase in the risk of acute myocarditis/pericarditis following Comirnaty vaccination among Chinese male adolescents, especially after the second dose. 33 is a laughable sample size. I'm not sure how they could just a 95% confidence interval with that. Ridiculous. This is also specifically about the Pfizer vacc. It's also pretty much only apparently in males. Seems to me like it's totally random tbh. " All cases are mild and required only conservative management" like, debunks his whole argument right now. I just don't get it. Why did he keep going?
