I appreciate when these articles get their big lie out right in the first sentence. It saves having to dig for it. Deaths reported to VAERS are not deaths from the shot.

Here let me help both the author and you.

"They have had more deaths (*following vaccination*) from this one shot since it has rolled out than they have in the last thirty years in VAERS reporting."

How's that? Now deal with it.

That's much better but still missing important context. There have been more deaths reported following the Covid vaccines than were reported to VAERS previously.

That's due to a lot of factors but mostly because of the unique situation we're in.

We haven't had a mass vaccination of hundreds of millions of people with a new vaccine since VAERS was established. We also haven't had vaccines be so controversial before or get so much coverage.

This is the first social media new vaccine.

I think people have been much more likely to report any odd event following one of these shots than they would be had they had the same event following a tetanus booster, say.

That's the nature of these self-reporting systems.

So the number of reported events doesn't tell us much in isolation. What we care about is are there more deaths among the vaccinated population than among a demographically similar unvaccinated one?

I haven't seen any evidence that's the case.
