“Conclusions and Relevance Among 20 health outcomes that were monitored in near real time, a safety signal was identified for only myocarditis or pericarditis. Consistent with other published reports, these results provide additional evidence that COVID-19 vaccines are safe in children.”
Yes, but they conclude by their metrics, assuming the reporting is accurate, that it's safe:
"It should be noted that either myocarditis or pericarditis is a rare event, with an average incidence of 39.4 cases per million doses administered in children aged 5 to 17 years within 7 days after BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccination."
Of course, 39.4/1,000,000 versus Whatever COVID-19 does to kids, assuming reporting for that is correct as well.
It's definitely interesting .. for the CVS data set, their numbers indicate that it's twice as likely for a 0 to 17 year old to get Myocarditis or Pericarditis from the vaccine (.0046%) than the CDC says the IFR rate from covid is (.002%) for that same age group (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scena...).
