If the risk of myocarditis after covid vaccination is lower than the risk of hospitalization due to covid infection, mandating vaccination is still good public policy. It ultimately shifts the risk around, it is true, but it still improves the odds of survival for the people who will contract myocarditis also, because there was significant risk of covid crashing the medical infrastructure. This is the part of the story people seem to forget... It wasn't the primary risk of fatalities due to covid that triggered mandatory quarantine and vaccination policies, it was the threat of saturating healthcare facilities to the point where people would die of myriad preventable conditions.
