I'm a scientist, I've had study I was involved in published in actual scientific journals.
MDPI is not a scientific journal, MDPI is a money making scam that lies about having scientific integrity. It's a pay to play publisher who don't use peer review as the actual scientists and peer reviewers point out
Predatory Publishers make billions out of these scams. If you read the links I posted one of their own peer reviewers detauils how its a unethical money making scam that has no scientific integrity - actual scientists are warned not to submit work to them as it damages their credibility
The reason for the latter is my deep concern that having your results published in any of MDPI journals puts them under high risk of invalidation, furthermore it leads to likely damage of your scientific reputation.
Earlier I had flagrantly bad experience with this publisher, who disregarded my thorough review of the manuscript [1] and published it despite my rejection, retaining even its initial form (i.e. without improvements introduced). There was no sound scientific discussion offered by both, the authors of [1] and MDPI staff.
For months I am waiting from MDPI for the contact with the other reviewer who (as they claim) was reviewing this work simultaneously with me. I am also waiting for them to connect me with the external associated editor who prompted publication of [1] some weeks after my rejection, without notifying me. I tend to believe these people either do not exist or they never had any expertise on the subject, read merely pressed “publish it” button.
...
They foremost misuse YOU and your colleagues for THEIR personal profit (i.e. the money you are to pay for this publication) offering in return high risk of rejection of YOUR results by the scientific community. Some of my colleagues from Max‐Planck and Helmholtz Societies, NOAA, EGU, AGU, etc. do not consider publications in MDPI journals reliable and authentic. You can further get acquainted with the “predatory” open access publishing following [2, 3], I am a witness of such in relation with MDPI. I regret that the authors of [1] (some of who I do know not superficially) lost their reputation in (not only) my eyes subsequently. As to the lead author of [1], Mr. Keyhong Park, I cannot call him a scientist, as he betrays fundamental principles of Science.
As I said earlier there's a lot of very high quality proper scientific publications and research showing that under 18s shouldn't recueve the vaccine - this isn't one of them though as MDPI are a money making scam with no credibility and break fundamental scientific principles.

Cardiovascular Manifestation of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine in Adolescents
Note: This is a peer-reviewed publication from a study in Thailand concerning a number of cardiovascular manifestations after vaccination with the Pfizer mRNA vaccines in adolescents aged 13-18 years from two schools who received the second dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Here. I will give part of the Abstract and here is the link to the study from Thailand.
www.mdpi.com...
Abstract
Data including demographics, symptoms, vital signs, ECG, echocardiography, and cardiac enzymes were collected at baseline, Day 3, Day 7, and Day 14 (optional) using case record forms. We enrolled 314 participants; of these, 13 participants were lost to follow-up, leaving 301 participants for analysis. The most common cardiovascular signs and symptoms were tachycardia (7.64%), shortness of breath (6.64%), palpitation (4.32%), chest pain (4.32%), and hypertension (3.99%). One participant could have more than one sign and/or symptom. Seven participants (2.33%) exhibited at least one elevated cardiac biomarker or positive lab assessments. Cardiovascular manifestations were found in 29.24% of patients, ranging from tachycardia or palpitation to myopericarditis. Myopericarditis was confirmed in one patient after vaccination. Two patients had suspected pericarditis and four patients had suspected subclinical myocarditis. In conclusion, Cardiovascular manifestation in adolescents after BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination included tachycardia, palpitation, and myopericarditis. The clinical presentation of myopericarditis after vaccination was usually mild and temporary, with all cases fully recovering within 14 days. Hence, adolescents receiving mRNA vaccines should be monitored for cardiovascular side effects. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05288231
The results are really worrying.
Out of 301 participants 88 of them (!) experienced cardiovascular issues after the two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. The percentage is about 29.24% of the adolescents from both schools and even though the sample is not large it raises red flags for any vaccine or medical intervention with this profile.
Will you give this vaccine to adolescents or young children who have the lowest possible risk of getting harmed from SARS-CoV-2 (risk is miniscule) knowing that it could cause almost 30% of them to experience a range of cardiovascular symptoms such as tachycardia (high heart rate), palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, myocarditis, pericarditis, hypertension.
Now imagine you vaccinate 300,000 adolescents or 3 million adolescents. What kind of results are you expecting with almost a 30% chance of getting any of the symptoms and diseases described above.
Something wasn't and it's still not right.
With this profile you just withdraw the vaccine imho.
My friend got lung problems after taking a course of vaccination against covid 19! Everyone has a different level of immunity and it is worth taking this vaccine carefully!

If you question the integrity of this publisher then surely you will need to question the integrity of all other publishers who seem to publish most of the publications, with many of them to be of very low quality, retracted, or just not worth of publishing at all.
I see nothing flawed in the publication from Thailand despite the small sample. But if small samples were an issue then surely many papers in favour of the vaccines would not have been published in the first place.
You're not the only person who has published btw.

The interesting thing here is. Did the vaccine cause the issue? Or did the vaccine take an already existing issue and enhanced it? If they can figure out the mechanism they can devise treatment.

I ve read the paper and the conclusion.
5 months after is still short term..you don't know long term effects of these vaccines but you're still left with a staggering 30% cardiovascular symptoms after the administration of the two doses.
Except that you aren't.
As the paper says, a number of the students had multiple symptoms, most of which (palpitations, chest tightness) were self-reported and not actually confirmed by a clinical assessment.
Out of 302 patients, only 3 (about one percent) were admitted to a hospital ER for symptoms.
Their tests showed that all symptoms cleared up within two weeks.
You want everyone to die as a result of these vaccines to argue this is a dangerous product. Can you find me another vaccine with a similar profile?
I want everyone to NOT die of Covid.
Compare the result from the vaccine with the numbers from Covid itself
Real Covid: -- 57% still had cardiac complications a year later. Covid vaccines - cleared up within 2 weeks.
Real Covid: -- over 10% develop irregular heartbeats and is permanent side effect in some cases. Covid vaccine, 7.65% but it cleared up within 2 weeks.
(etcetera)
You don't get "long Covid" from vaccines. You do, however, get it from Real Covid and it affects around 1/5th of those who have had Covid
No vaccine is 100% successful. No vaccine is completely without risks. ALL vaccines have had a small number of deaths associated with them. What vaccines do is (relatively) safely give a large population relatively strong immunity against a disease, stopping the disease in its tracks (nobody to infect) in a very short time period. With the "pandemic immunity" you get a large number of deaths, mutations of the pathogen, and a never-ending cycle of the disease showing up again and again for hundreds of years.

A good follow-up question that was partly answered in the paper itself -- all students received a full medical checkup before vaccines as part of the study.
That said, there are intermittent cardiac problems that may not show up on a test -- I have one of those; an intermittent cardiac arrythmia. It was caught on my military enlistment medical exam but did not appear on any other exams until about 15 years ago. It's brief (lasts less than a minute), intermittent (I can go months without an episode) but it's real and present.
So... we don't know.

Maybe if you use cherry picked big pharma funded studies. It will always show their 200 billion dollar cash cow in a favorable light.
Then you have other studies that show the exact opposite. So someone is lying here, and I know I don't trust companies with a track record of knowing killing people for profit like with vioxx and countless other pharma products.

I'm sure Lebron's son having a heart attack at 18 with the best access to health care on the planet is normal.

Excuses upon excuses upon excuses
The study isn't great
The publisher isn't great
The journal it was published isn't great
The sample of participants is small
The scientists are anti-vaxxers
The scientists don't have 100 PhDs and they don't have a novel prize yet
Truth: The vaccine isn't great.
Honestly, this is a public hazard and should have been withdrawn from the market long time ago.
The incidence rate of myocarditis/pericarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccine was reported to be as low as 12.6 cases per million second dose mRNA vaccines among those aged 12–39 years [8,15].
In contrast, our study found one case of myopericarditis, four cases of subclinical myocarditis, and two cases of pericarditis among 301 participants, and each case had mild symptoms.
The incidence of myocarditis/pericarditis found in our study may be higher than the other studies due to the study protocol, which required determining baseline troponin-T, CK-MB, ECG, and echocardiography before vaccination.
Two retrospective studies from Israel [8,9] showed a slightly different incidence compared with CDC data, possibly resulting from different data collection methods and different criteria for diagnosing myocarditis. Montgomery and colleagues reported on 23 male military personnel diagnosed with myocarditis after presenting with acute sudden onset of chest pain within 4 days after mRNA COVID-19 vaccine [22]. Another prospective study reported six males who were hospitalized with suspected myocarditis, all shortly after a second dose of BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine [23].
