Yes, the vaccine has a problem with rare side effects,
The problem is the other side is true as well. Not being vaccinated poses the greatest risk and leads to most deaths.
The odds were in favor of those who chose to be vaccinated. If they get Covid they have a far lower chance of death or even severe symptoms. That is also very true.
Me, I'm 100% opposed to any kind of forced vaccination or any kind of punishment for not wanting the vaccine.
The whole idea of the lockdowns and the way it's been handled was a dog and pony show of utter incompetence on the part of the authorities.

CDC article that applies to this.
It appears it was redundant which would explain why they removed it from where it was if it ever was there?
How mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines Work
To trigger an immune response, many vaccines put a weakened or inactivated germ into our bodies. Not mRNA vaccines. Instead, mRNA vaccines use mRNA created in a laboratory to teach our cells how to make a protein—or even just a piece of a protein—that triggers an immune response inside our bodies. This immune response, which produces antibodies, is what helps protect us from getting sick from that germ in the future.
COVID vaccine
1 First, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are given in the upper arm muscle or upper thigh, depending on the age of who is getting vaccinated.
2 After vaccination, the mRNA will enter the muscle cells. Once inside, they use the cells’ machinery to produce a harmless piece of what is called the spike protein. The spike protein is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19. After the protein piece is made, our cells break down the mRNA and remove it, leaving the body as waste.
3 Next, our cells display the spike protein piece on their surface. Our immune system recognizes that the protein does not belong there. This triggers our immune system to produce antibodies and activate other immune cells to fight off what it thinks is an infection. This is what your body might do if you got sick with COVID-19.
4 At the end of the process, our bodies have learned how to help protect against future infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. The benefit is that people get this protection from a vaccine, without ever having to risk the potentially serious consequences of getting sick with COVID-19. Any side effects from getting the vaccine are normal signs the body is building protection.
Facts About mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines
mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cannot give someone COVID-19 or other illnesses.
- mRNA vaccines do not use any live virus.
- mRNA vaccines cannot cause infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 or other viruses.
They do not affect or interact with our DNA.
- mRNA from these vaccines do not enter the nucleus of the cell where our DNA (genetic material) is located, so it cannot change or influence our genes.
SEE UNDERLINED ABOVE...
Where it is on the page now is underlined.
Seems kind of petty to say they removed it when it's been there all along and why would they need to repeat it twice on the same page????
Where does it now say it doesn't last long in the body ?
Worded a bit differently, but same thing IMO.
The spike protein is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19. After the protein piece is made, our cells break down the mRNA and remove it, leaving the body as waste.
Our cells break down mRNA from these vaccines to get rid of it within a few days after vaccination. Scientists estimate that the spike protein, like other proteins our bodies create, may stay in the body up to a few weeks.

Not exact I suppose but in general the same. I'll give that it's not identical.

What are the percentages when taken from the billions of doses given? Seems rare to me
I'm entitled to my opinion so I'm happy to debate that,

That's pretty much exactly why all cause mortality has increased in the 18-50 demographic.
Yes, Covid, it can damage the heart, lungs and kidneys.
