The better comparison is the total risk after vaccination vs the total risk from infection without vaccination.
Given the infectiousness of the recent variants, it's reasonable to assume very high probability of eventual infection.
(Myocarditis appears to be the more common severe side effect of vaccination, even though it is still quite rare. Hospitalization rates from infection (a reasonable proxy for a severe infection) in the similar age groups are probably higher.)
