> Do keep in mind that these raw counts are meaningless, and arguably scare-mongering. Some number of people will have a heart attack regardless of whether they had the vaccine... If all these numbers were zero, we should all get the vaccine simply to live in perfect health forever!

The question is really fundamentally simple for a massive vaccination campaign

Expected injury rates as a % of the population

Actual / Reported injury rates as a % of the population

Even while accounting for the low likelihood of even receiving reports of things.

We already know that some of the injury reports coming in have been independently verified by other nation's health departments. After all, there is a reason for some of the vaccine pauses among the young and healthy in the nordic countries.
