> Since the intent of the vaccination is to trigger an immune response very similar to the virus I think we should assume that all side effects the virus can cause could also be seen in vaccine trials.
If you define “side effects the virus can cause” (a term that usually is meaningless, “side effects” are unintended effects of a therapy, and thus deoebd on both the therapy and what it is intentionally used for) to mean “effects associated with the immune response to the virus” this is true by definition, but if you mean “symptoms of infection” it seems improbable.
> The only symptom that I have yet to hear from the vaccination is loss of smell/taste.
A lot of what you hear is reports of events after vaccination that have very little effective filtering for whether they are caused by the vaccination
or some other cause (including COVID infection.)
