It is a leading indicator of future more serious outcomes like transplant. The surgeon I worked with said most often the patients he performs transplants on had pericarditis in their past. He only performed 2000 or so surgeries as I recall so maybe he didn't know what he was talking about.
Google it folks. You'll get lots of hits. Lots of people are not hospitalized.
u/Anither's link is talking about the cases that actually are serious: "Patients hospitalized with pericarditis" it says. Those are the ones the surgeon sees.
So what you are saying is Heart and Stroke foundation advises you ignore pericarditis as it will often "get better in a few days on its own".
That's your advice? Are you saying people should ignore a possible viral infection? I wouldn't ever say that - you may want to ask the H&S folks to stand behind that statement.
Show us where someone has died of pericarditis caused by a covid vaccine.
People die from pericarditis as a leading indicator. There is no such thing as a 'mild' case, unless you are trying to cover something up.

"Pericarditis is not usually a serious condition"

... says some anonymous poster on some obscure social media forum.
Meanwhile the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada says:
"Most cases of pericarditis are mild and get better on their own in a few days" https://www.heartandstroke.ca/heart-disease/conditions/pericarditis
Who are you going to believe folks?
Don't get your medical advice from anonymous people on social media.

Every night, I’m terrified that climate change will strike me dead in bed.
Don't pay any attention to what I'm saying folks. I'm an anonymous person on social media. So is u/Anither.
Instead go the the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada website and read what they say about pericarditis. It's here: https://www.heartandstroke.ca/heart-disease/conditions/pericarditis
If you think you've got it go to the hospital. If they send you home either you don't have it or it's a mild case.
