He didn't suggest that it was more dangerous than covid (there are studies that tackle this question though, with answers that vary by age cohort, leading to health authorities like Denmark and Sweden prohibiting the jab for young people)

The proposed mechanism is clear, it's not the genome it's the spike protein. The jabs were suggested to keep this protein in the local muscle tissue, and clinical evidence suggests that this does not happen. It makes its way to the heart where it causes issues

Wasn't this suggested in the original comment's italicized phrase, "even after accounting for the protective effects of COVID"? It argues that we have the relative risk backwards.

This might have been suggested by some, but systemic effects have been acknowledged since the beginning. Both of the original papers on the safety of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines report systemic effects being more common in the jab group than the placebo.
