By itself, the 2.6% number isn't very useful information. Some vaccines could cause virtually no adverse events while others could cause lots. Also, effects as mild as soreness at the injection site or a low fever are considered "adverse events".
The numbers you quote for the Pfizer COVID-19 clinical trial are inaccurate. The actual study showed a <8% higher death rate among those vaccinated and even that is misleading. In this study there were 15 deaths recorded among the group that took the vaccine and 14 deaths among those receiving a placebo. This just indicates that there were not enough people in the study for it to be statistically meaningful. There were 43,448 total participants and there were a few more people in the placebo group than the vaccinated group. Having said that, I don't think there is a good reason for most healthy people to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
I shouldn't just recite figures, but should do what you appear to have done, which is actually look at the study myself. The figures I cited are from, even worse, a blatant propaganda source, the Vigilant Fox, and I should know better by now.
Thanks!
To be fair, I had ChatGPT summarize it for me...with some spot checking.
