Myocarditis triggered by COVID-19 is more dangerous than myocarditis caused by a COVID-19 vaccine. There is a 50 times higher risk of death with myocarditis from COVID-19 compared to the vaccine. The risk of dying with vaccine-induced myocarditis is less than 0.5%, while COVID-19-induced myocarditis carries a risk of 10-20% mortality. Although the mRNA vaccines can slightly increase the risk of myocarditis, the severity of cases linked to vaccination is generally mild and manageable. Vaccination remains crucial in preventing the severe consequences of COVID-19, despite the rare occurrence of vaccine-induced myocarditis.
