To be clear mRNA vaccination introduces a small finite amount of mRNA that the body turns into spike proteins whereas infection with covid results in the body being used as a factory to manufacture virus which manufacturers more virus and so on.
This source suggests that a single person may be at peak infection host to between 1 billion to 100 billion virions.This is peak load at one time not an account of the total virions produces over course of infection.
Vaccination involves a vastly smaller number of proteins that are not damaging in the same fashion.

> That’s because the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is a shape-shifter. To fuse its viral membrane with the host cell membrane it substantially changes its shape from an unstable pre-fusion state to a stable post-fusion state. While previously working on a vaccine for MERS, a disease caused by another coronavirus, McLellan and others discovered that by adding two proline molecules to the spike protein, they could lock it into its pre-fusion state, triggering a more effective immune response and preventing cell entry. The same harmless mutation, called 2P, as in two proline molecules, is used in the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.
