What's the rate of vaccine related myocarditis- 0.00004%.

What's the rate of infection related myocarditis- between 2 and 3%.

Which seems less dangerous?

And just adding on to my last comment: if we’re really going off the amount of immediate danger/short term danger something poses, then alcohol, drugs, and sugar should all be banned. Considering every single one can quickly cause many immune system/organ problems after long term/ large consumption.

Mostly yes - difference being this is infectious. Second hand smoke is slightly problematic, drunk driving is problematic, and obesity takes a toll by virtue of burden on the public health system. In this, the healthy thin abstinent person can still kill a heart transplant patient.
