Post vaccine myocarditis is a rare complication and tends to be mild and self limited. Any medication, whether its a blood pressure pill or vaccine has risks and benefits. In the case of MRNA COVID vaccines, they have been show to be quite effective in reducing death and hospitalization. While there has been much media attention about these rare complications, it should be taken in the context of a pandemic that has killed ~800,000 in the US. Abstaining from the vaccine will significantly increase your risk for getting COVID and expose you to short and long term cardiovascular complications.
Here is a recent journal article reviewing long term cardiac complications after COVID infections:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41569-021-00631-3
"One study estimated that COVID-19 vaccination of the group of individuals who were most likely to experience post-vaccination myocarditis (adolescent and young adult men) would prevent >10 times the number of hospitalizations and 3?4 times the number of ICU admissions owing to COVID-19 than would result from cases of vaccine-associated myocarditis."
