I'm talking about any adverse event, like with the swine flu vaccine from the 2000s, for example, where people came down with narcolepsy. Then there's the swine flu vaccine from the 70s that caused GBS. It's just clear to me that saying "it's always better compared to infection" is just a lie. For the overwhelming majority, sure, but for enough people it's life-altering if not life-ending.

I do not deny that vaccines can cause adverse effects - but outside of vaccine trials and Army experimental vaccines, the rate of adverse effects is vastly lower than the rate of the same adverse effect that people experience who get infected.
