The mRNA based COVID-19 vaccines literally did cause myocarditis as a side effect in a small subset of patients. We can argue about the prevalence and severity or risk trade-offs versus possible viral myocarditis but the basic statement about possible myocarditis should have never been lumped into the disinformation bucket.

Doesn't detract from my point. "These vaccines are correlated with an N% increased risk of myocarditis" is a different statement from "These vaccines will give you myocarditis".
BOTH of them were targeted by the misinformation squad, as if equivalent.
