A 26 year-old man from New Zealand died from myocarditis linked to the Pfizer vaccine, but health officials there said Monday that the benefits of the vaccine continue to "greatly outweigh" the risks.
Myocarditis, an inflammation that in some cases can limit the heart's ability to properly pump blood, has been detected in a small number of vaccinated people. It is treatable, is not specific to COVID-19 vaccines and was a common side effect of the smallpox vaccine in the past, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The man died within two weeks of receiving his first dose, and a coroner determined that preliminary information has identified myocarditis as the probable cause of death, New Zealand's COVID-19 Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board said in a statement. The man had not sought medical advice or treatment for his symptoms.
Setting: Japan
Participants Vaccinated population was 99 834 543 individuals aged 12 years and older who have been received SARS-CoV-2 vaccine once or twice by 14 February 2022. Reference population was defined persons aged 10 years and older from 2017 to 2019.
Conclusion
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was associated with higher risk of myocarditis death, not only in young adults but also in all age groups including the elderly. Considering healthy vaccinee effect, the risk may be 4 times or higher than the apparent risk of myocarditis death. Underreporting should also be considered. Based on this study, risk of myocarditis following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination may be more serious than that reported previously.
Further conclusions and policy implications
Despite above limitations, this study revealed that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was associated with higher mortality rate from myocarditis, especially in young adults compared with 2017 to 2019 population. But it also revealed that myocarditis death occurs in older persons. If healthy-vaccinee effect is taken into account, the risk increases at least approximately 4 times more than the unadjusted mortality risk. In addition, underreporting deaths after receiving vaccine should be considered. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to inform public about that the risk of serious myocarditis including death may be far more serious than the risk reported before and that it occurs not only in young persons but also in elderly.

Further proof that this isn't being covered up, and that when people die from the vax the media do cover it.

Nothing to worry about. Most claims made by this member have been repeatedly refuted.

So sad and avoidable. The people who wilfully peddled vaccines they know are dangerous should hang their heads in shame. If it was up to me there would be more hanging than just heads.

There's not a word about covering it up in the OP

so is this you admitting that the truth is, people can die from myocarditis because of the vaccine? I only ask, as every other time I have seen this said, you have a link to deny it happened.
The difference between a real case and a fake case are so dramatic that it's usually immediately obvious which is which.
