Please stop abusing the EMA data to spread misinformation. The website very clearly states:

The information on this website relates to suspected side effects, i.e. medical events that have been observed following the administration of the COVID-19 vaccines, but which are not necessarily related to or caused by the vaccine.

Without knowledge of the expected background rate of such events, the data is impossible to interpret. In no way does it show that the vaccines are unsafe.

I noted that my reply, but sure, let's not take the cautious approach with vaccines and yet take the extremely cautious approach with covid (dying within 30 days of catching covid is counted as covid death in many countries).

Covids deaths are not acceptable, but deaths in younger demographics are acceptable because they're less?
