What are the chances of thinking you have myocarditis after reading alarming stuff on facebook?
I had chest pains a couple weeks after my second shot, had an EKG and asked about this. No myocarditis. I had torn a rib. Can you imagine how many people have phantom pains that don't get an EKG, but post to "confirm" they had symptoms? It's bad enough trying to get all these people to just get a goddamn vaccine without scaring them with shit that has basically no chance of happening, has no major long-term consequences if it does happen, and that practically everyone who eats a subway sandwich will have symptoms of.

The hard part is matching symptoms with your health history and eliminating the improbable/impossible causes/diseases. Which is really hard, even for trained doctors.
