That is simply not true. It greatly reduces risk, but people still get sick, and still go to the hospital. Spreading this sort of false info helps no one.

I think the best way to measure risk is having lots of information and data to base our decisions on. Unfortunately, this seems to be hard to find regarding vaccines in general, and worse for covid based vaccines.

That contradicts the article:

Since the beginning of the trials, all trials, there has not been a single death or hospitalization among people vaccinated. Not one. Zero. Not for Moderna, not for Pfizer/BioNTech, not for Oxford/AstraZeneca, not for Sputnik, not for J&J, not for Novavax.

Do you have a cite?

Just posting a link without commentary makes it hard to know what point you're trying to make. The CDC related vaccine safety tracker shows no difference in baseline miscarriage rates so I don't think that link is very accurate.

"Children's Health Defense is an American 501c3 nonprofit advocacy organization,[1] known for its anti-vaccine activism. According to Seth Mnookin, much of the material put forth by the organization involves misinformation on vaccines and anti-vaccine propaganda.[2] It was founded and is chaired by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.[3] Established under the name World Mercury Project in 2016, it has been campaigning against various public health programs, such as vaccination and fluoridation of drinking water."
