Jessica, AEs are a function of injection, so R2 arbitrarily close to 1 must result in the last example. More injections must give more AEs, just as cases are a function of testing. What about using Granger causality to see what predictive value the vax rate has on the prevalence of each AE as a condition/diagnosis in the general population? (Sorry, econ not bio stats) I don't think R2 has much explanatory power here. Thank you so much for your hard work.

*I guess what's missing is the magnitude of the increase. Yes, your point is AE is a function of the shots, but vaxxers will counter than anything has an accepted rate of side effects, and these shots carry a very tiny risk of these particular side effects. What's a comparison of generally accepted side effect rate of common meds or shots compared to this rate with these shots? That would make a point, I think. Magnitude of effect.
