I watched the Project Veritas video too. I noticed that the featured health care worker did not say two things she definitely would have said if they were true:
1. She did not say that there was any coercion to avoid reporting adverse events. She just said it took too long to enter the data into VAERS (30 minutes) so people weren't reporting every event.
2. She didn't say the hospital was overflowing with people suffering from vaccine side effects, or that that number was remotely comparable to the number hospitalized with COVID.
So what's the likely truth?
1. Vaccine side effects are underreported, but mostly because people are not making much of an effort to report them, not for conspiratorial reasons. This is far from new - both underreporting of relevant events and overreporting of irrelevant events are common with every medical intervention.
2. The health burden of COVID still vastly outweighs anything happening with the vaccine.
