Yes, COVID can cause myocarditis. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart and our immune system will try to kill any virus it finds, even in heart tissue. It depends on how invasive the virus is. Bacteria can do it also, that is why some people have to take pre-meds before dental procedures.
Delta was very invasive and penetrated many more tissues than Omicron. Omicron mainly infiltrates the nasopharynx, it rarely penetrates heart tissues.
IMO, we should not vaccinate just to try to stop Omicron.
