Okay, yes.
You need to think about the base rate.
I mean to say... It might be that more people are reporting side affects from Moderna than Pfizer... But in the US I think a lot more people have had the Moderna one than the Pfizer one.
For example... Suppose 1 in 10 have side effects (with either of the vaccines). Then suppose 100 people have the Pfizer vaccine and 100,000 people have the Moderna vaccine.
Then suppose 10 people complain about Pfizer and 10,000 people complain about Moderna.
That's a lot more complaints about Moderna...
