And given how transmissible Delta is, everyone will be exposed eventually.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-increases-risk-of-heart-inflammation-and-blood-clots-more-than-the-vaccines-studies-find/

The study found the mRNA vaccines did increase risk of myocarditis, with about 1 to 5 events per 100,000 persons. However, the presence of COVID-19 increased that risk even more, with 11 events per 100,000 persons.

Unfortunately, most people suck at gauging relative risk in daily life. Vaccines are no different.
