So adverse events are unrelated to the drug being studied. It’s everything that can happen to a person that’s bad.
Say 20 people took your drug.
Within the study period one died of slipping on ice, and another died of electrocution from trying to wire their own house.
Both would be included in the study, but no one would take it seriously that they died because of the studied drug. That’s why adverse events are easy targets for people who try to take down antivaxxers, it’s as easy as defining an adverse event and it’s a continuing saga.
Someone who doesn’t know what an adverse event is gets laughed at by serious science. That’s why it’s important to help people understand, so they can look at studies properly.
