Original review summary

The review says myocarditis and pericarditis after mRNA vaccination are known but rare, and that the cited preprint does not establish that these conditions occur only in vaccinated people. It also reports that peer-reviewed studies found myocarditis risk was higher after SARS-CoV-2 infection than after vaccination.[S1]
