Are the antibodies from the covid vaccine the same as the antibodies from the virus itself? i had pericarditis and myocarditis back in 1999 and again last august from the antibodies in the vaccine. what are my chances of getting myo if i get covid?

The same antibodies are produced from exposure to native covid19 virus & the covid19 vaccine. The vaccine mimics the "spike protein" which is the cloak that the virus uses when entering the body. Risk of myocarditis is higher for covid19 infection, than it is for covid19 vaccination. It seems you have already been vaccinated, so I would focus on healthy habits that support optimal immune function.
