Maybe but if they were related to the vaccine we would expect them to occur more than once in the study group, right?

Yup! That’s exactly why they initially list every bad outcome before trying to rule it in/out.

For example, you might be tempted to dismiss deaths due to traffic accidents as being obviously unrelated to a drug. However, if there were a lot of them, it would be prudent to check for potential effects on reaction times or judgement.
