In comment 4 Jeremy R. Hammond claims CDC researchers were being dishonest and says in comment 5 that "the 1st CDC study found an increased risk of myocarditis among children in the hospital with a COVID-19 diagnosis compared to hospitalized children without COVID-19.
It did not compare the risk of myocarditis with infection vs vaccination."
So, it did compare the risk of myocarditis with infection vs vaccination. Did he not read that far? Is it possible that he's quibbling about the fact that it was a study from Israel and not the CDC? Link to the Israeli study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2110475
Claiming dishonesty is a stretch, and the difference in risk ratio is considerable.

But if you read the CDC he is referring to it says quite clearly "A recent study from Israel reported that mRNA COVID-19 vaccination was associated with an elevated risk for myocarditis (risk ratio = 3.24; 95% CI = 1.55–12.44); in the same study, a separate analysis showed that SARS-CoV-2 infection was a strong risk factor for myocarditis (risk ratio = 18.28, 95% CI = 3.95–25.12)" https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7035e5.htm?s_cid=mm7035e5_e&ACSTrackingID=USCDC_921-DM64772&ACSTrackingLabel=MMWR%20Early%20Release%20-%20Vol.%2070%2C%20August%2031%2C%202021&deliveryName=USCDC_921-DM64772
