You know what also causes myocarditis? COVID-19 [1].
So the choices were:
1. Don't pressure young people to get vaccinated. Nearly everyone who's unvaccinated eventually catches COVID-19. Some of them would have severe reactions and die; or spend time in a hospital, taking up space and delaying care for others, causing those other people to die. Nearly all of them would pass COVID-19 on to other people, many of whom would be older and die. Some of them would develop myocarditis and die.
2. Pressure young people to be vaccinated for COVID-19. Some of them would develop myocarditis and die.
#2 is strictly better than #1.
Sometimes in life there are no good options; only not-so-great options and very bad options.
