Thank you. I am actually the author of the HART article. Unfortunately due to vacations it was published a few weeks later than I'd hoped, during which time of course the Thailand study was published, doing exactly what I had called for. Anyway, many have now commented on the Thailand study, which (notably) found a very similar rate of subclinical myocarditis (2-3%). I may do a briefing on it although nearly everything that needs to be said about it has already been written. Regards.
It does feel like a certain amount of repetition at this point, doesn't it? But it is important to illustrate that science is still science, and that even the US military, which went full-on screaming-teenager at a rock concert -wild for mRNA vaccines in 2020, was able to demonstrate a more temperate approach as recently as 2015.

BTW here's my follow-up piece:

I have made what I think is an important point re the cut-off applied for troponin.
Thanks for your analysis. Will take a look
The Thai paper got published! No longer a mere preprint!
