At the end of this video, dr. Moran claims that Moderna vaccination causes subclinical myocarditis in around 2-3% of vaccinated adolescents, and that that's between 20 and 50 times more common than COVID-19 does. Is that true?
As far as I understand it, the whole point of mRNA vaccines is to make such things (that a vaccine causes some side-effect more often than the virus itself does) theoretically impossible, unless we assume basic biochemistry is false. So, the dr. Moran's claim is even less plausible than vaccines causing autism, as vaccines causing autism would require almost everything we know about how brain works to be wrong, but basic biochemistry can stay correct.
But what's weird to me is that I don't see sources such as ScienceBasedMedicine refuting that claim. Why is that?
Of course, that's not the only controversial claim dr. Moran makes in that video (like claiming that an unvaccinated adolescent has only 1/300'000 chance of dying if he catches COVID, that would require the number of adolescents who died from COVID to be by orders of magnitude lower than the official statistics show, and that's very unlikely because causes of death are easily determined in that age group), but it's the most important one he makes there.
