Pfizer jab: Myocarditis and pericarditis in younger men
If you're a younger bloke hoping to score some virtue signalling points on social media by 'rolling up your sleeve', you may want to first consider the following (as reported in Pfizer's official Product Information):
“Very rare cases of myocarditis and pericarditis have been observed following vaccination with COMIRNATY. These cases have primarily occurred within 14 days following vaccination, more often after the second vaccination, and more often in younger men... Vaccinees should be instructed to seek immediate medical attention if they develop symptoms indicative of myocarditis or pericarditis such as (acute and persisting) chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations following vaccination.” (Sect. 4.4, p. 6)
And keep in mind that your local GP may not be able help you. He or she will need to consult a specialist:
“Healthcare professionals should consult guidance and/or specialists to diagnose and treat this condition.” (Sect. 4.4, p. 6)
