The big ones where Johnson & Johnson/Janssen had a risk of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome to the point of being effectivelly discontinued. Pfizer and Moderna also have a risk of myocarditis. There's also plenty of other studies covering the various other risks such as https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36055877/.

Which can all be found after 30 seconds of Googling or simply by paying attention to all the news these got over the last few years.

The thrombosis was reported by the exact medical authorities that antivaxxers claim are hushing up the truth, using the exact diagnostic and reporting system they claim doesn’t work. The system worked exactly as intended.

The myocarditis is caused by the same spike proteins that are in the virus itself, and the relative risk of myocarditis from an actual Covid infection versus the vaccine is many times higher.

Yes. It boggles my mind that the simple fact that the spike protein seems to cause the myocarditis and all the anti-vaxers can't seem to put 2 and 2 together that a full on infection of COVID all over your body is going to be orders of magnitude worse for that exact same symptom. And that's not even taking into account the myriad of other negative side effects of a severe COVID infection.
Okay, and what about the risks associated with getting covid? I'll take the vaccine.
