Reply to comment by stupidsimpson in Study of 1.65M COVID Vaccine Doses Finds Rare "Myocarditis" Generally Mild—More Than Half of Patients Didn't Need to be Hospitalized by Voices4Vaccines

This is true. The incidence of any myocarditis post vaccine is in the neighborhood of 4 cases per 100,000 vaccinated individuals. The incidence for non-vaccinated individuals post covid infection is around 2-5 times higher depending on the study (i believe the range was due to exclusion factors of the study, i remember reading on that found a certain subdivision of patients had higher incidence and were excluded from subsequent studies)

That said, the incidence rate for both infection and vaccine is extremely variable depending on age and gender (as this study clearly points out). This study was specifically looking at the age group that other studies showed the highest incidence levels from vaccines and some of the lowest rates from infections.
