Don't forget, repeat serious infection from Covid, infections that are mitigated by vaccines, risk Long Covid which can include long term degradation of your immune system with all the consequences that entails.

This paper -
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0 is our friend here. It looks at the relative risks of the various vaccines and SARS-COV-2 infections. For the over 40s, the risk of myocarditis is higher with infection vs. vaccines. For under 40s, there is a higher risk with the Moderna vaccine than with infection.
Note that this is for myocarditis which is often mild. For pericarditis and arrhythmias, there seems to be no significant risk with vaccinations but there is for infection. Pericarditis and in particular arrhythmias tend to be more dangerous than myocarditis.
This paper looked at risks of heart issues only. COVID has many more risky symptoms than just heart issues.
