Each injection increases your chance of getting COVID
Do you agree with that statement from your own linked study?
The initial vaccines were amazingly effective in preventing COVID-19, saved a large number of lives, and changed the impact of the pandemic.
In conclusion, this study found an overall modest protective effect of the bivalent vaccine booster against COVID-19, among working-aged adults. The effect of multiple COVID-19 vaccine doses on future risk of COVID-19 needs further study.
Although the in initial vaccines were very effective, the majority of the population in resource-poor countries could not get vaccinated in time, and waves of infection occurred around the world. Continued acquisition of mutations in the virus, from natural evolution in response to interaction with the immune response among the human population, led to the emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants. Despite this, those previously infected or vaccinated continued to have substantial protection against reinfection by virtual of natural or vaccine-induced immunity [6]. The arrival of the Omicron variant in December 2021, brought a significant change to the immune protection landscape. Previously infected or vaccinated individuals were no longer protected from COVID-19 [6]. Vaccine boosting provided some protection against the Omicron variant [7,8], but the degree of protection was not near that of the original vaccine against the pre-Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2 [8]. After the emergence of the Omicron variant, prior infection with an earlier lineage of the Omicron variant protected against subsequent infection with a subsequent lineage [9], but such protection appeared to wear off within a few months [10]. During the Omicron phase of the pandemic, protection from vaccine-induced immunity decreased within a few months after vaccine boosting [8].
Recognition that the original COVID-19 vaccines provided much less protection after the emergence of the Omicron variant, spurred efforts to produce newer vaccines that were more effective. It is made available under a CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license. These efforts culminated in the approval by the US Food and Drug Administration, on 31 August 2022, of bivalent COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, which contained antigens represented in the original vaccine as well as antigens representing the BA.4/BA.5 lineages of the Omicron variant. Given the demonstrated safety of the earlier mRNA vaccines and the perceived urgency of need of a more effective preventive tool, these vaccines were approved without demonstration of effectiveness in clinical studies.
these vaccines were approved without demonstration of effectiveness in clinical studies.

Since covid and the mrna vaccines, we hear a lot about myocarditis, a kind of heart infection that often ends fatally in the short or slightly longer term. I myself didn't even know this disease existed... until covid arrived.
Everyone seems to talk about mild cases, but if I read correctly myocarditis is practically undetectable.

I repeat the same thing over and over to you because of my prior experience working with special needs children. It usually works with them though, so perhaps I need to change my approach.
You won't follow up on anything else in my post because you can't.

This is from your link you have used a half dozen of times,
Can you supply a link for what you quoted in your post please?

Everyone seems to talk about mild cases, but if I read correctly myocarditis is practically undetectable. With 17 BIOPSIES, there seems to be a 90 percent chance of making the right diagnosis (cfr Professor Marelli-Berg ).
Now a blood test would be on the market, I estimate at the end of 2023 if all goes well. However, it may not yet be known to what extent this test is reliable. My conclusion: if covid and the mRNA vaccines have myocarditis as a side effect, how can one know how often this side effect occurs?
We need to look at it a couple of things here.
1. Before COVID no one really checked for it on a grand scale, just cases that got serious enough to warrant medical care. Now we look for it in everyone, especially young men and say wow look it is there. The question is whether it was there before too, and just not something we as a society focused on now. When Isriel came out and said they found 75 or so cases within their 5 million population after the vaccine I asked myself did they check the population before the vaccine too to get a baseline, nope, and why would they.
2. It seems spike protein does affect this to some degree. Looking at 350 million shots in young people they saw 4 per 100,000 got some level of myocarditis that the vast majority was either easily treatable as an outpatient or treatment was not needed. In that same group it is speculated there is 1 per 100,000 normally, but once again we never really checked before unless it was a more serious case.
3. The massive levels of spike protein from the virus is showing 150 per 100,000 for the young male age groups too, so vastly more and it depends on how long a person is sick. Sick a few days and not much of anything, sick a week or two and you might be in trouble even getting over it finally. It seems the big talk about here is just vaccine, but it seems the spike protein is bad either way and the virus will produce a massive amount more in your system than what the vaccine has.
Conclusion
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was associated with higher risk of myocarditis death, not only in young adults but also in all age groups including the elderly. Considering healthy vaccinee effect, the risk may be 4 times or higher than the apparent risk of myocarditis death. Underreporting should also be considered. Based on this study, risk of myocarditis following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination may be more serious than that reported previously.
Further conclusions and policy implications
Despite above limitations, this study revealed that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was associated with higher mortality rate from myocarditis, especially in young adults compared with 2017 to 2019 population. But it also revealed that myocarditis death occurs in older persons. If healthy-vaccinee effect is taken into account, the risk increases at least approximately 4 times more than the unadjusted mortality risk. In addition, underreporting deaths after receiving vaccine should be considered. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to inform public about that the risk of serious myocarditis including death may be far more serious than the risk reported before and that it occurs not only in young persons but also in elderly

First of all myocarditis is a serious adverse reaction from the mRNA products and most importantly there is no such a thing as mild myocarditis. Inflammation of the heart is a serious condition and regarding it as 'mild' is an attempt at excusing and apologising for the vaccines.

I am afraid you are trying to downplay the serious adverse reaction of myocarditis and you are engaging in vaccine apologetics and denialism of the reality of these unsafe and potentially dangerous products.

OK whatever, but you are proving my point in what is considered serious in testing can also be something that easily and quickly treated as is suggested in 95% cases of myocarditis. This isn't my viewpoint, it is the world saying this from many countries, so either you are correct, or they are.

Heart muscle doesn't heal, it's scars over, causing a big time risk of electrical abnormalities in your heart for the rest of your life, assuming you survived, and lowering your quality of life and preventing people from doing things that define themselves.
Trying to brush myocarditis off as "mild" is peak vaccine apologetics. Before 2021 it was super rare and now it's becoming very common. Just because there is someone health care metric that claims because the person isn't dead they are "fine" is bs. It's all propaganda and narrative control.
