Looking at this from a personal perspective, and in no way attempting to diminish the horror of what’s happened here, if i told the story to my vacc-happy family members, they’d blame it on Covid and say he should be gotten the vaccine sooner.
I have no doubts the docs in this case would say the same.
It’s really a no-win with these people…
You're right, it is. They'll always take the situation and twist it so it fits their worldview.
Of course they will try to fit it into thier world view, it's up to you to explain to them why it doesn't make sense. And if you can't then maybe you should figure out why.
Why do they think that the vax would not have killed him if he got it sooner? He has a lot of pre existing conditions and the vax kills people like that.
Why should he have been forced to get the vax if he already has better immunity from the actual virus then what he would have had if he got the vax earlier. Would the doctors not just have been forcing him to get all the latest boosters until he died?
They believe myocarditis is a potential byproduct of getting covid. Everything is a potential byproduct of getting covid.

They would search for articles like this and say that all myocarditis is a result of the disease, some just more delayed than others, and would use it evidence to further their belief that this is the most deadly disease of our age.
These family members are gone. They have drank the story and will not be swayed; to challenge their view would not yield anything positive, and that isn’t worth it to me. They disapprove of my non-vaxxed status, but leave it as my choice. Adding any more dissent would just put more tension on the already strained relationship, and I don’t want that.
My mask wearing vaxxed adult kids no longer speak to me. Didn't want that but reason and rationality is lost on them.
