> The rate of myocarditis is much higher if you get Covid than if you get the vaccine .

What are you basing this on? There was a recent UK study (preprint, last I checked) of 40 million people that showed that the risk of myocarditis was definitively higher compared to Covid in the Moderna sample and higher (albeit statistically insignificant) in the Pfizer sampler for young men.

> So indirectly getting vaccine will lower your risk since of heart disease as everyone will eventually get covid.

This is a separate claim about the conditional probability, which I haven't seen data on. The unconditional probability does not inform the conditional probability.
