Government of Ontario (Province in Canada) published data months ago showing that young men were at higher risk from heart issues. Nobody cared and the all the local and federal news outlets refused to report on the numbers.

Link? I saw that data back then, and the number were lower than this preprint and lower than COVID, IIRC.

Here's a thread from September summarizing some of the available data at the time:

It includes a screenshot from this report, which is now updated through to December:

Right, so the rate is 200 cases per million vaccinations. The COVID rates are 450 cases per million vaccination.

So I did remember correctly, and it was indeed lower than infection, presumably because it wasn't delineated by vaccine, also IIRC Moderna is contra-indicated for young men in Ontario.
