"One of the low side effect of the vaccine is getting the spike protein travel to the heart causing inflammation."
The rate is less than 1 in 10,000, and the mechanism is nothing to do with the spike protein travelling to the heart. It's actually an issue with the general immune response, where your body will be actively reacting to the foreign body. When it's working hard like that the added stress of exercise can cause damage to the heart. It's genuinely nothing to do with the spike protein.
"Similar to what the virus causes."
Not even close. All of the cases in vaccine recipients, as few as they are, have been mild and full recovery is possible. With the virus, 60% of deaths and 30% of athletes had heart inflammation.
"That is a risk with either route I go. So I rather not get either one."
The main issue here is timing. If you get the vaccine and avoid exercise for 2 weeks your risk is, as far as we know, zero. If you get covid, go asymptomatic and continue to exercise because you have no idea how sick you are, damage could be irreparable and sudden onset.
Trying to say that getting vaccinated is the same as catching covid when it comes to heart damage is like saying jumping off a diving board is the same is cliff diving on a rocky beach. Sure, both are diving, but one kills and injures a lot more people per year.
