As of August 6 - 50.25 million doses given in Canada and 3063 serious adverse affects (0.006%).
Don't take it - 100% chance of no serious side effects
Take it - 99.994% chance of no serious side effects.
Want to include all side effects, including serious and non-serious... it's 0.018%. Still pretty good odds compared to the 1.84% death rate from Covid in Canada.

Yes, those are very good numbers, and I appreciate you posting them.
Mind you they are short term side effects. I think most are concerned with long term side effects which can not possibly be known yet. Trust me, I very much hope that there are none but until it is known for sure I feel like there is still a lot of risk there.
