I think almost everybody at this point knows somebody who died from covid (two for me, one nursing home resident last year and now one healthy working age male since delta). The numbers for confirmed fatal adverse events (in the US, other countries are using different vaccines) can be counted on one hand. People experiencing an adverse event and then recovering is relatively common with most vaccines.

The CDC page is enlightening, 390M doses, and 8200 subsequent deaths. The vast majority of those deaths are obviously *not* vaccine related since if you look at hundreds of millions of people, some of them just happen to die. About 3M people die annually in the US, you can do the math but over 100k die every two weeks so some of those are going to overlap with people who got vaccinated.
Even if you totally ignore the natural death rate, absolute hypothetical worst case, 200M vaccine recipients and 8200 deaths is *still* waaaay better odds than covid
