Note also that those are just people reporting a serious effect after getting the vaccine - it doesn't necessarily imply that the vaccine caused the effect; it could just be someone happened to have a heart attack the same day as they got the shot, which when you're issuing tens of millions of doses worldwide is going to happen (so far WHO's investigations haven't linked any reported deaths specifically to the vaccine).
