Yes, I think the adverse effects data is reliable.
Weeding down into a specific case may be difficult, or impossible, (e.g. why did so and so have a stoke five days after the vaccine) but they do know the normal background rates and statistics are very reliable on a population-wide basis.
The mechanism is specific enough that they were able to identify the clotting problem with J & J and the myocarditis problem in young males from the mRNA vaccines even though in both instances you are talking about a low number in the context of millions of shots given.
The adverse outcomes reported to VAERS are probably mostly accurate, few false reports, some large number of adverse outcomes not reported.
Whether caused by vaccine or just another background case, have to compare to background data to determine if there is a signal.
The medical establishment spouts false reports, like Bells Palsy occurrence among mRNA recipients during phase-3 trials being background rate. They were 5x background rate. Placebo group was background rate.
I'm inclined to think the people reporting that were incompetent in statistics, rather than deliberately lying. But it further encourages me to take anything the government or other establishment says with a grain of salt.
myocarditis among 15 to 17 year old males is about 70x background. But only for 1 week, so total risk isn't as highly elevated as the number might appear to suggest.
There is a massive amount of adverse outcomes in the general population, the background rate.
The very fact we already had names for the ailments proves that.
