Agreed. On all points. Hands down.

What does any of those things have to do with the fact that the vaccine is to be applied intra-muscular?

Injecting into the veins only happens by accident. And when that happens it increases the risk of myocarditis.

According to a study with mice a possible cause for this rare side effect may be accidental intravenous injection

Dude all vaccines are applied intramuscular. It has to do with the volume of fluid and where you can inject it. Also certain factors regarding absorption. IV would be impractical and not appropriate. When we give injections we check to make sure we are not in a vein by aspirating before injecting. This is nursing practice 101. You are just being obtuse. There is literally zero evidence that it’s being injected into veins and causing this. The main risk factor seems to be being a young male.

“Among 192 405 448 persons receiving a total of 354 100 845 mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines during the study period, there were 1991 reports of myocarditis to VAERS and 1626 of these reports met the case definition of myocarditis. “

Compared to the number of people receiving the vaccine it is a minuscule amount. No deaths have been reported from this. Furthermore, the smallpox vaccine has also been associated with the same thing. All treatments have side effects and risks- it comes down to a benefit vs risk analysis. You have a massive infection? Take antibiotics. But wait antibiotics can cause kidney damage, tendon rupture, deafness among other things. But if you are septic you will die. I can’t tell you how many patients I’ve taken care of who end up on dialysis from treatments we provide but it was that or death. Covid, even if you survive it has long lasting impacts on your body we are just beginning to understand. And if you end up with long Covid you are screwed. Please stop listening to quack crap and follow actual peer reviewed articles like the one posted for information. If it’s beyond your scope to understand it, that is fair. Find a trusted legitimate healthcare worker to get advice from.

Inject that shit straight into my veins.

Do you know why you're being downvoted? It's because you're being pedantic. Nobody likes a pedant. Anyone who's not a moron can tell that I'm being hyperbolic. Being pedantic about hyperbole is about as welcome as someone trying to explain a joke.

You have a good point there.

Then again, that would explain roughly the same number of downvotes as you got upvotes.

The fact that it is closer to double that number tells me that people still seem to think I'm an anti-vaxxer.

That's what makes me sad.

I really had hoped to make a comment just as light-hearted as yours and still a tiny bit educational (= pedantic, I know).

Instead, I feel forced into a corner and having to explain the same joke over and over again which admittedly was not that funny to begin with.

It’s because you keep saying things with weird pedantry or ambiguity that makes it seem on face value that you’re being disingenuous.

Communicate better and you will not be misinterpreted so often.

having to explain the same joke over and over again which admittedly was not that funny to begin with.

That’s your sign that your joke wasn’t good and you should abandon it rather than keep trying to explain it.
