That's interesting data. How easy would it be for you to compare it against the same for say other vaccines? I still think the Covid vaccines probably over-report compared to others, since its the only vaccine I ever got where I got notified about Vaers and told to report, but it be an interesting comparison and would give us a head start. We'd probably also need the count of people who received each vaccine to normalize the comparison.

Though to be fair, and again, I'm a random person online explaining my personal assessment, but in my assessment I also take into account that I assume that smarter people then me have already ran all these numbers, and maybe I'm naive to assume that, but I also don't have the time, know how and the access to all the data I'd need to do so myself.

In that case, I have to either trust institutions and academics of multiple countries who seem to mostly agree +/- a few difference, or I have to trust volunteer effort from generally amateurs on the internet mixed in with some legitimate trolls. And since in my field of expertise, I see often that the internet is filled with more crap than accurate information, I don't really trust the internet as much, especially the information that's easy to find.
