I am confused why you think anyone scientific ever said they thought it was 100% safe.
All the studies fright from the start indicated it risk were so much >lower< than the risks from catching Covid19 that the risk benefit of getting vaccinated was hugely in favor of getting vaccinated.
I note a total absence of evidence suggesting that is not so that has presented by you.
Actually i tell a lie, I say because I know the evidence for contradicting that doesn't from all the dozens of times i have checked claim much the same as yours in the past.
and note you do present evidence the risk is non zero,
and yes it is and always was known to be non zero,
and yes vaccine recommendations and mandates were all fully aware of that evidence and on a net benefit basis recommended and or mandated them.
On the topic of mandates, mandates in my country was on the basis of preserving people rights. At the time of mandates thepeopel mandated were mandated to be vaccinated so as to not needlessly and without consent put *other* people at unreasonable risk. No person was forced to have vaccine just required to have one if they wished to undertake activities that then added risk to other people from their decisions.
I have never seen any argument against mandates that in anyway at all attempted to acknowledge or justify why the refusers would have the right to put other people at risk without their knowledge or consent.
