but the increase was still less than the increase from the virus.
Incorrect, you can clearly see from figure 2 on page 11 that the second dose of Moderna had a higher risk than the virus. Is there a reason you omit this?
That increase in myocarditis from vaccines was only present in men under 40
The paper doesn’t contain a breakdown in the sex difference. This was for men and women.

The authors have an updated pre-print that breaks it down by sex and both Pfizer and Moderna had higher rates than the virus for men(page 13): https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.23.21268276v...
If the authors fixed the denominator for viral infection (i.e. used sero-prevalance), it would look even worse.
