Which aligns with

The lede is that 2 orders of magnitude more of injury exists than previously detected. 1 in 35 showed signs of heart damage.

For a specific segment of the population - for example their age range was substantially tighter than the population at large.

COVID-19 mRNA-1273 is the Moderna vaccine, which was not recommended for youth under 30 in Europe due to potential myocardial injury.

Seems like the conclusion remains that the vaccine causes myocarditis for some small percentage of people and that both the percentage of people and the severity remains less than the risk of myocarditis from COVID itself. As an individual the only behavioral change I might take away from this is even if I am non-symptomatic post vaccination that I should minimize strenuous activity.

Strange that this study showed it was so heavily gendered towards women, while most of the others have shown it in men.
