From my anecdotal experience, I think I'll take my chances with COVID, thanks.
Never got a cardiovascular condition from COVID, yet did (and it continues to worsen) from the vaccines.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
At a certain point, "oh but statistically more people are worse off from COVID!" doesn't matter much to us as individuals, I think it's okay to act on behalf of my own self-preservation sometimes.
If the vaccine has caused you heart damage, that updates the Bayesian priors on whether you would have survived contracting the disease itself.
It is entirely possible the vaccine warded off a virus that would have killed your heart if your body had to respond directly to the unattenuated disease. I don't think we have enough information to be able to tell (how do you do an analysis of that kind when you don't even know precisely why COVID or the vaccine can cause heart damage?).
