Wrong. That's 1600 adverse events that have been reported. Reporting them
does not mean that the vaccine had anything to do with the events.

wrong, it stands to reason that vaccine doctors wouldn't report reactions to
a med they gave unless they had a damn good reason

And a "damn good reason" is that an event *might* be related to the
vaccine. The keyword is *might*. If someone (someone being a nurse,
doctor, patient, parent, antivaccine asshole) thinks an event *might* be
related to a vaccine, then the event should be reported. You might
actually look at the actual reports. Most of them are not about serious
events. And many of the reports are for multiple vaccines.

If you can find one, you should get a clue.

only about 2% of reactions are reported, so the 1600 is bound to be an
underestimation

yeah, except that major events are much more likely to be reported.

Yet, a lot of the reactions are things like minor swelling. Gee, risk of
dying young from cancer vs. minor swelling. Which one would a thinking
person go for?

bear in mind 30% of some medical practices will kick you off their practice
for not vaccinating, so you can't imagine those medical nazis reporting
vaccine reactions, now can you

Just 30%? While there is no legal requirement for American doctors to
vaccinate anyone, vaccines save lives. Patients would stop going to you
if you didn't vaccine, because they like living and vaccines increase
the likelihood that you or your child will be living in ten and twenty
years. Every primary care physician in the US vaccines people, because
vaccines save live. How many deaths from measles, smallpox and polio
where there in the US last year? Answer: 0.
