Anecdote isn't data or proof of a real problem (every medication has, for someone somewhere, caused a negative reaction). Do we have a proper dataset of, say, myocarditis cases by year or broken down for young males? The VAERS reports seem to me to indicate there may be something here. Reuters debunk fact check of Twitter posts comically makes the case it is a real problem, stating that the vast majority of reports since 1990 are for this vaccine and downplaying it's importance because most of the diagnosed recovered fine. It also cites the FDA's claim that the benefit of being vaccinated in young children (who have a covid death rate of basically nothing) outweighs the excess myocarditis cases (which is, of course, admitting they are a thing) (

The CDC's site still seems to admit it is an issue, the focus on downplaying it but not denying
