The CDC vaccine safety page: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/ad... The vast majority of these events are happening at or below the level of "background noise", meaning people are indeed getting sick and dying after taking the vaccine, but that it is highly unlikely to be the vaccine's fault.

I would not really trust CDC pages as primary sources considering the surgeon general tweeted that masks don't work. The CDC is either incompetent or political, either way, not a reliable source of information. https://twitter.com/Surgeon_General/status/1244020292365815809?s=19 https://twitter.com/Surgeon_General/status/12440202923658158... Then you have Fauci redefining "Gain of Function" research to claim that engineering an animal virus to spread to humans is not Gain of Function: https://youtu.be/IqUOcVwRUtc https://youtu.be/IqUOcVwRUtc Mind you, Fauci is part of the NIH, not the CDC, but still an egregious case of government officials purposely pushing misinformation. If you want actual apolitical data, you can get it directly from the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System: https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/datasets.html https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/datasets.html? I can't vouch for this data being uncorrupted but it's pretty much all we have. It's also user submitted which is quite unfortunate - you think there would be a system for hospitals and doctors to use - with some higher level of verification. Nope, this is the crapshoot we are handed. I see 500,000 submissions in the CSV for 2021 but not all of them are for covid vaccines. It'd be nice to see a data scientist pull this data into Tableau or scipy/pyplot/etc and create some good visuals and breakdowns so we can get a better idea of what's going on with these vaccine side effects.
