A link is always appreciated, it helps move the conversation forward, cheers to that.
It should always be a red flag when someone cites a media article instead of a scientific publication. Especially an article where the interviewee says they "believe", "think", or "reckon" that something is true. We can be fooled into accepting a bad ethos argument. Mainstream media is notorious for this tactic.
So where did those numbers come from? Surely they weren't just made up? Kind of, but they are taken out of context.
Here's a publication the article may have been alluding to: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2110475
But in that publication we see that both groups are in the ballpark of 5 per 100000 cases of myocarditis. The publication notes that myocarditis is actually substantially higher risk in the vaccinated group rather than the unvaccinated group by a risk factor of 3.24. That's not even the end of the story. A caveat for the publication was that the study was only run for 42 days around the vaccinated. This higher risk factor was only observed for short term effects, not long term. It is possible that long term heart-related effects are even higher for the vaccinated.
Continue your endeavour for truth, and don't get hung up when mainstream media says something without citing a scientific study. Even with a scientific study, look for methods and conclusions that might be in question.
And importantly, now that you've seen the media has not been forthright and honest in all cases, perhaps it is time to question everything that you have heard from the media.

Most people don't know what a real scientific research report looks like. And not a one of them of the antivaxxer crowd has been a proper research paper.
First thing to look at is the credentials of the primary investigator and then the other names of credentialed scientists listed as co-authors. They should all be readily available on LinkedIn. And a general practitioner in rural Georgia is not sufficiently credentialed to do anything.
Then most researchers list their co-authored papers in their profiles...that is part of their resume that gets them a fellowship at a high paying University or more research funding...which pays their salaries.
Then look at the size of the study. How many patients? For this they must have complete de-identified patient histories. A study only having 24-40 patients is not sufficient to even show correlation for disease therapies. (Tens of thousands are needed) What usually happens with these is that a discredited research scientist or un-credentialed doctor has cherry picked a group of people who will get better anyway but give them something and then claim it's a miracle cure. And that's the most honest of the dishonest lot. Discredited researchers are the ones who fudged their numbers (like Fauci did) or lie or had a train wreck for their paperwork or something else unethical. (Like steal research)
Look at the medical facilities used for a study. Is there only one? Was the study done double blind? Who was the third party sponsor monitoring? Who did the shadow research...all research is repeated and has similar results to be considered as factual. Just because a research study is done in a reasonable fashion with standardized (and recognized) protocols it isn't reliable until repeated by someone else who confirms the research.
So... while everyone is quoting the Israeli study about natural immunity...the paper is a fraud. The Hospital knew nothing about the paper (and would be screaming about it) the co-authors are angry because their name has been fraudulently used in association with this paper...they never knew about it until after it hit the media. (Meaning their names were stolen) and the patient histories and profiles look fraudulent as well. (Illnesses and diseases have consistency in percentages according to geographic and genetic disposition...these patients were inconsistent for Israel)
Leaving us to conclude that the paper is a fraud made by someone who used to be a researcher but was tossed from the community like 5 day old fish.
