Paper claiming mRNA was wrong and evil

An acquaintance who has fully bought into anti-vax beliefs referenced the paper below as a gotcha. I don't have the background to analyse it even at a cursory level, but it goes firmly against the consensus on mRNA vaccines. After pages of analysis, the last paragraph basically says the excess deaths are mostly due to mRNA vaccines as opposed to COVID itself, and that mRNA vaccines in fact make you more susceptible to COVID infection. Anyone have the energy for an informed analysis of the thing? It smells of a massive gish-gallop, but with graphs.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10810638/Since early 2021, excess deaths, cardiac events, strokes, and other SAEs have often been wrongly ascribed to COVID-19 rather than to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations. Misattribution of SAEs to COVID-19 often may be due to the amplification of adverse effects when mRNA injections are followed by SARS-CoV-2 subvariant infection. Injuries from the mRNA products overlap with both PACS and severe acute COVID-19 illness, often obscuring the vaccines’ etiologic contributions. Multiple booster injections appear to cause immune dysfunction, thereby paradoxically contributing to heightened susceptibility to COVID-19 infections with successive doses. For the vast majority of adults under the age of 50, the perceived benefits of the mRNA boosters are profoundly outweighed by their potential disabling and life-threatening harms. Potential harms to older adults appear to be excessive as well. Given the well-documented SAEs and unacceptable harm-to-reward ratio, we urge governments to endorse and enforce a global moratorium on these modified mRNA products until all relevant questions pertaining to causality, residual DNA, and aberrant protein production are answered.
