Gonna play Devil's Advocate here: 10 years is a long fucking time. Like, we'd expect roughly 13% mortality in general over 10 years for any cause picking people randomly. Before 2020, Myocarditis didn't just happen spontaneously and had some underlying causes, usually age. Older people do have a high mortality.
Thank you for the link. That paper focuses on treatment options, not so much surviability. Survival was cited from this paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16442915/
This paper says 56% survival rate after 5 years (44% mortality). Unfortunately the full text of this article is not available so I can't look at the mean/median age of the study group.
One item of note is that your linked article does mention dozens of non-age related causes of myocarditis, which contradicts my assumption that this was a matter of treating old people.

So I'd need more information to assess that stat.
Ctrl-f 56, to get to the referenced numbers - this is a link to an NIH study on a .gov address for anyone hesitant about suspicious links
