1: The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines don't even have fucking mercury or aluminum in them. They're so good at eliciting an immune response that they don't need adjuvants. Because of how good they are at eliciting an immune response...
2. the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are more likely to produce especially pronounced, but short-lived and innocuous side effects like fever/arm pain. The misleading screenshots of articles in the middle just show side effects they're investigating, not that any of them have had a cause/effect relationship established. As of today no cause/effect relationship has been demonstrated in the Moderna/Pfizer vaccines and any of the adverse outcomes listed. The AZ and JnJ vaccines are different animals, but generally speaking the JnJ one is safe (when quality control is followed) and the AZ one's benefits outweigh its risks if you're under 30. The tPA in the AZ seems to be causing paradoxical blood clotting through some as-of-yet unknown mechanism in some patients, but it's really rare.
3. Antibody-dependent enhancement is real and is a real concern. Generally speaking, the more neutralizing the antibodies are the less likely it is and ALL of the vaccines produce highly neutralizing antibodies which are specific to the spike protein. Natural immunity, on the other hand, can produce antibodies that are only partially neutralizing and ADE is in fact one of the theories for why some people develop long covid.
4. Population growth in Western societies with longer life expectancies decreases because people tend to fuck a lot when their lives suck. Look at the population pyramids of 3rd world countries and compare them to those of developed nations -- improving quality of life in those countries (which includes decreasing morbidity through preventative medicine like vaccination) will thus decrease population growth.
