You're comparing apples with oranges.
The majority of the serious adverse effects reported in the original trials the first paper rehashes (15.1 effects per 10000 above a 6.4 effect per 10000 placebo baseline with some people reporting multiple effects, after the authors stripped out SAE's where the placebo group reported worse outcomes...) did not involve hospitalisation, never mind intubation.
And a significant proportion of COVID infections that do not require hospitalisation (i.e not counted in the NNV metric) nevertheless involve serious adverse effects including both those credibly associated with vaccine side effects but more commonly in symptomatic COVID patients (myocarditis) and those not thought to have any association with the vaccine such as long term brain fog. The vaccines were found to have a high efficacy at reducing these types of symptomatic infections though....
More generally and unfortunately for the cranks, its noticeable that excess deaths and hospitalisation peaks follow COVID infection spikes, not the ramp up of vaccinations, and have declined considerably since the vaccination programmes began. It's almost like the professionals know better than someone who thinks influenza is a coronavirus...
