The government isn't mandating energy drinks for kids.
Yes, life can kill you/harm you!
The choices we make freely every day impact our own health, for better or worse.
The choices the government makes for us shouldn't. Then it becomes criminal.

It doesn't matter. The fact is that both risks are very, very small, but the one with the vaccine is still higher. So why bother to get the vaccine and increase that small risk? You are just as well off with a healthy, in shape boy to wait it out.
Myocarditis/pericarditis following COVID-19 mRNA vaccines remains a rare AEFI (defined by the
Canadian Immunization Guide as occurring at frequency of 0.01% to less than 0.1%), even
among the age groups where the highest rates of this event have been observed.7
COVID-19 vaccines continue to be recommended and are highly effective at preventing
symptomatic infection and severe outcomes from COVID-19 disease, which is also associated
with a risk of myocarditis.

Now on that I can agree the government shouldn't be mandating the use but trying to argue it's dangerous is just silly. The argument should simply be you have a right to decide what you take, Trying to make the vaccine seem dangerous can cost someone their lives as they may decide not to take it and should have. but if the truth were told and people realized exactly how low the risk is that just upsets anti vaxers.

Only 0 would be an acceptable number.
The government is trying to force this on millions, so even if it's one out of a million healthy young men, there will be needless victims.
Some people are just accepting the inevitable sacrifice of others for their own (perceived) safety.
If you drink a glass of ice water there is a chance that your throat will go into spasm and you will choke to death. It's millions to one, but it's still greater than zero.
Do you suggest that we outlaw ice in drinks?
Your analogy is rubbish. I propose an experiment:
You go without water for 1 week.
I will forgo the COVID gene therapies for 1 week.
Let's circle back next Saturday and report on our findings.
I think you misunderstood the point completely. Do you want to change it how about caffiene? Do you know more people die from it than they do from the covid vaccine? This is why they had energy drinks restricted for children. And yet they still happen usually do to bad parenting. Your risk of falling in the shower and dying is higher than being hospitalized for covid vaccine.
People want to play off fear however dont even bother to look at the statistics.

True again we agree though I chose to get the kids vaccinated due to my wife's mother. She lives with us and the kids bringing home the virus could kill her shes 67. So for the sake of keeping her around, I had the kids vaccinated even though their risk was extremely low.

And I am saying that for the group in question, if you have a normal, healthy boy, neither one is particularly dangerous, but the vaccine may be slightly moreso. Since natural immunity is better, you may as well wait it out and let them produce a vaccine that's less risky than the actual disease for your child or wait for your child to grow enough to enter and age group where the calculation shifts.
If the disease had a higher chance of dropping teens dead, I'd think otherwise, but it simply doesn't do that to normal, healthy kids.
But you are the parent of your kid, and I am the parent of mine. I've been watching where this goes for kids, and mine is right on the threshold of the age group in question, so I have lots to worry about here where he is concerned.

Your kid could get covid and not show any symptoms what so ever. But bring home the virus and kill grandma; but that's her problem, right!!

Ahh, the killing grandma card. well played. I'd have gone for the racist card, but it's a bit worn as of late.

My kid could be forced to take an experimental jab which creates heart problems that he would have to deal with for his entire lifetime, and still catch COVID and give it to grandma and kill her!
But that's his problem, right?

You consider a lifelong avoidable heart condition an "inconvenient choice"?
Sorry to hear about your grandma.
My grandma was killed by unnecessary medical treatments.
