Commonly used vaccines are known to cause widespread temporary myocarditis?

If you search in academic literature from before Covid, you will find all sorts of case studies of myocarditis caused by flu shots:

It seems pretty safe to assume that if you have an autoimmune disorder that causes heart inflammation when attacking a virus, in some people it may respond to the vaccine similarly. (But again, I think the evidence in such cases is that your body would be much more responsive to a covid infection than an mrna vaccine).
