Just FYI, this isn't true.
Myocarditis is 14 to 45 cases per million in young healthy males when vaccinated depending which study you look at. It's 150 per million overall for COVID-19 patients (and likely higher for young healthy males whom are the highest risk group for this, but I couldn't find the number split out for COVID-19 patients that was just young healthy males).
Most myocarditis developed is mild and resolves itself as well. Either way, your risk of dying from COVID-19 as a young healthy male, while still very small, is higher than your risk of myocarditis from the vaccine. From a simple risk reward context, your risks of COVID are dramatically higher than your risks from the vaccine even if you are young and healthy (though your risks from COVID are obviously much less in this case than they would be if not healthy or older).
