This preprint agrees that the risk of myocarditis is significantly higher, except if you are
a. A male
b. Under 40 years old
c. Took the Moderna vaccine
So the statement that COVID has a higher risk of myocarditis is still true.
The media and those people got their information from existing data. This data was correct for the original question. However it wasn't delineated by age and by vaccine, and it's only after that you can make another argument.
So yes, the media was right, not the antivaxxers. There is no shenanigans. Unless you have a source that predates this paper saying that the Moderna vaccine has a higher risk of myocarditis specifically for men under 40 that happens to be antivaxx for completely unrelated reasons as myocarditis risk from the vaccine is much lesser than the overall risk from COVID for any demographic.
