Cerebral hemorrhage over 3 years after a vaccination could actually have another cause not listed here, eg. high blood pressure or poor diet.

Or getting hit in the head or falling down.

Sudden death almost two years later, and Cerebral hemorrhage almost three years after vaccination does seem unrelated to the “medicine they took”.

Maybe but if they were related to the vaccine we would expect them to occur more than once in the study group, right?

Yup! That’s exactly why they initially list every bad outcome before trying to rule it in/out.

For example, you might be tempted to dismiss deaths due to traffic accidents as being obviously unrelated to a drug. However, if there were a lot of them, it would be prudent to check for potential effects on reaction times or judgement.

My grandmother died of a cerebral hemorrhage. It wasn't because of the cholesterol medication she took. It was because she was on blood thinners, was old, and tripped and hit her head on the dresser while preparing for church.
