I mentioned I would try to follow up on getting some info about the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine.
I was very lucky to have a good friend on another forum whose search skills are much better then mine.
Thanks to "nice gaijin ".
9/15/2022 - Reports of acute adverse events in mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients after the first and second doses in Japan
Here's a paper looking at acute reactions to covid vaccines in Japan. From the abstract, they monitored 130,000 individuals given two doses of the
vaccine between august and November 2021. They found 1.1% of recipients had reaction to the first shot, and 0.4% to the second dose. The most common
reaction type was vasovagal syncope/presyncope (VVR), with higher rates of occurrence in patients under 30, followed by acute allergic reactions
(where age doesn't seem to be a factor). The vast majority of these reactions occur within 20 minutes of receiving the shot (which is why vaccination
centers ask that you stick around in case you do have a reaction). They found that laying the patient down for the injection improved these outcomes.
They say "acute," but there's no report of any of these reactions being long-lasting or fatal.

Reports of acute adverse events in mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients after the first and second doses in Japan - PubMed
Mass vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is ongoing in many countries worldwide. This study reports the occurrence of acute
adverse events among vaccine recipients at a mass vaccination center in Japan. Between August and November 2021, approximately 130,000
individuals...

7/15/2022 - Delayed Vasovagal Reaction with Reflex Syncope Following COVID-19 Vaccination
Here's a paper looking at delayed VVR in Japan, where they found 6 cases out of 25,530, a prevalence of 0.026%. Their abstract leaves me with some
questions, but since there were so few cases, the full text briefly describes the symptons of each case. Spoiler alert, all cases occurred within a
half hour of getting a shot, and they all made a full recovery after having a lie-down. No mention of any cases happening hours--let alone days or
weeks--after getting vaccinated.

Delayed Vasovagal Reaction with Reflex Syncope Following COVID-19 Vaccination - PubMed
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic, and vaccines remain the only effective tools available for ending it. However, their side
effects, such as syncope, which mimics sudden cardiac death, are serious concerns. We herein report 6 cases of delayed vasovagal syncope and...

7/13/2022 - Incidence, risk factors, natural history, and hypothesised mechanisms of myocarditis and pericarditis following covid-19 vaccination:
living evidence syntheses and review
A paper on the prevalence of post-vaccination myocarditis and pericarditis, suggesting slightly greater risk for young men. This resulted in
adjustments in spacing out the vaccines and opting for a different vaccine if concern is warranted.

Incidence, risk factors, natural history, and hypothesised mechanisms of myocarditis and pericarditis following covid-19 vaccination: living evidence
syntheses and review - PubMed
These findings indicate that adolescent and young adult men are at the highest risk of myocarditis after mRNA vaccination. Use of a Pfizer vaccine
over a Moderna vaccine and waiting for more than 30 days between doses might be preferred for this population. Incidence of myocarditis in
children...

9/29/2022 - Vasovagal reactions after COVID-19 vaccination in Japan
A paper compiling 46 studies on the rates of VVR after getting the covid vaccine in Japan, with an overall rate of 9.6 per million patients (That's
REALLY low).

Vasovagal reactions after COVID-19 vaccination in Japan - PubMed
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine administration started in February 2021 in Japan. As of December 2021, approximately 75% of the population
aged ≥12 years had received two doses of vaccine. We conducted a study to investigate vasovagal reactions (VVR) after COVID-19 vaccination

June 2022 - Safety monitoring of COVID-19 vaccines in Japan
This paper talks about Japan's monitoring efforts for vaccine safety in Japan

Safety monitoring of COVID-19 vaccines in Japan
The assessment of the efficacy and safety of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines in actual practice is extremely important, and monitoring
efforts are being implemented worldwide. In Japan, a joint council in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is held every two to three weeks
to...

Everything I've seen so far from reputable sources suggest that:
By last fall, 75% of the population in Japan received at least two doses of a covid vaccine.
Adverse reactions to the vaccines are rare
When they do happen, reported adverse reactions to the vaccines
occur within an hour of injection, mostly within 20 minutes
are short-lived, and
most times require no medical intervention beyond a little rest.
Other conclusions thus far that I consider important to note, but not directly gleaned from the above links:
Vaccines are effective against severe covid infection (see relative covid death rates for vaccinated and unvaccinated cohorts)
Covid infection itself has a greater chance of giving you similar symptoms to "acute" reactions to a vaccine, such as myocarditis and
pericarditis.
If vaccines were wreaking havoc on industries and causing a significant portion of recipients to suddenly drop dead or develop health problems as a
direct result of getting vaccinated, that shoe would've dropped by now, don't you think?
Not EVERYTHING on the internet is a lie, but the internet is full of liars - you need to exercise extreme discernment on whom you lend credulity
Don't take medical advice from Telegram, Youtube, or social media. Talk to your doctor and trust that they probably aren't trying to murder you.
Correlation does not equal causation
"But," you might say, "I keep hearing about athletes/pilots/nurses/etc suddenly having heart problems or dying... they were (presumably) forced to
get vaccinated because of their vocation, so this must be a result of the vaccine!"
This is partly due to the Baader-Meinhoff Phenomenon. Were you paying attention to stories like that before? Probably not, unless if you're a
cardiologist. Now that we have a vaccine and people are suggesting it's to blame for any excess death despite a lack of evidence, they'll jump on
any questionable death and immediately try to draw a line back to a vaccine the deceased received sometime in the past. The over-reporting of rare
cases creates the illusion that an issue is more prevalent than it actually is. It's easy to see how people who are enticed by the theories are
willing to take these assertions at face value.
Even if we took that 9.6 per million rate of VVR (which again, is an immediate, short-lived, and easily recovered-from side effect) and said it had a
100% mortality rate, and extrapolated it to 75% (94,957,346) of Japan's population (126,476,461), we'd theoretically see 910 deaths as a direct
result of vaccination in Japan. Meanwhile, 66,297 people are verified to have died from covid in Japan to date.
