-I'm conservative and think we should *require* everyone to be vaccinated, just as was traditional with smallpox, measles, etc. It's much less a violation of civil liberties and much less inconvenience than lockdowns or required masks, and much more effective.

-*[https://z3news.com/w/microbiologist-explains-covid-jab-effects/ Mercola anti-vaccine article]. This is the best anti-vaccine article I could find, and it is bad. It looks reasonable, but it's just assertions --that natural is better than vaccine immunity, for example, which may be true or maybe not, but is presented as a solid scientific fact. The discussion of relative vs. absolute risk reduction is dishonest, it looks like. Perhaps it is true that the relative risk reduction is 95% and the absolute is 1%, but that means the absolute risk reductio is low  because the risk is low to begin with--- it starts at about 1.05% and after vaccination it's about .05%. I' would invite anti-vaxxers to tell me about a good article supporting their case.

	*August 2021 [https://hms.harvard.edu/news/covid-19-vaccine-safety Harvard Med article, nontechnical version]. This discusses a two-million person study using data from Israel that found that while there was more myocarditis in vaccinated than the usual rate, there were many more cases among unvaccinated people--- because they caught covid, presumably. The excess rate was 2.7 per 100K for vaccinated, 11 for unvaccinated. The vaccinated cases were mainly males aged 20-34.		*August 2021 [https://hms.harvard.edu/news/covid-19-vaccine-safety Harvard Med article, nontechnical version].

		+	[https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/myocarditis-and-covid-19-a-tale-of-two-articles/ Myocarditis and Covid,] a first-rate, balanced, bloglike article by Howard, is lead man on one of the big studies. He talks about [https://www.statnews.com/2021/05/14/setting-the-record-straight-there-is-no-covid-heart/ Mandrola's article on covid and myocarditis] a lot. That article isn't about vaccines, just about covid-induced myocarditis. Howard notes that nobody in the US has died of vaccine-induced myocarditis, and that it is so rare that it's hard to study whether it occurs more than covid-induced myo in a particular age group such as 20-34. He also notes that while children get covid only rarely, it's still a lot more common than them getting myocarditis. He talks about severity too. It does require hospitalization in the 2.7/100,000 cases, it seems to me, but there is no permanent harm and most cases are mild, despite sending the patient to the hospital (why do they go, then? Is it to see if it's myocarditis rather than a real heart problem?).
