Unless they accidentally hit a vein and inject the vaccine directly into the bloodstream, anecdotal evidence[0] points to this for young men who get myocarditis. They often report tasting saline in their mouth shortly after the injection.

The age and sex disparity in post-vac myocarditis would seem to disqualify that hypothesis. It's not like young men have veins in their deltoids where other demographics don't.

Tasting saline after an IV injection in nonsensical.

EDIT: Young people, specifically men are also more likely to get myocarditis in the general population irregardless

What makes you think the percentage of inter-vascular injections causing myocarditis should be distributed evenly across a population?

What would be the mechanism leading to tasting saline in the mouth?
Metallic taste - adjuvant? (just a guess...)
