Number of COVID vaccine injuries reported to VAERS surpasses 50,000, CDC data show

Data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the number of injuries and deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) following COVID vaccines revealed steadily rising numbers, but no new trends. VAERS is the primary mechanism for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.

Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received to the system as of Friday of the previous week. Today’s data show that between Dec. 14, 2020, and March 26, a total of 50,861 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 2,249 deaths — an increase of 199 over the previous seven days — and 7,726 serious injuries, up 631 over the same time period.

Of the 2,249 deaths reported as of March 26, 28% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, 19% occurred within 24 hours and 43% occurred in people who became ill within 48 hours of being vaccinated.

In the U.S., 136.7 million COVID vaccine doses had been administered as of March 26.

This week’s VAERS data show:

19% of deaths were related to cardiac disorders.
45% of those who died were male, 43% were female and the remaining death reports did not include gender of the deceased.
The average age of those who died was 77.7 and the youngest death was an 18-year-old.
As of March 26, 341 pregnant women had reported adverse events related to COVID vaccines, including 104 reports of miscarriage or premature birth.
Of the 578 cases of Bell’s Palsy reported, 63% of cases were reported after Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinations — almost twice as many as reported (36%) following vaccination with the Moderna vaccine. Seven cases of Bell’s Palsy were reported with Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine (1%).
There were 2,578 reports of anaphylaxis, with 53% of cases attributed to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, 44% to Moderna and 3% to J&J vaccine, which was rolled out in the U.S. on March 2.
Using a broadened search for any reference to anaphylaxis in chart notes resulted in 15,193 reports, with 52% of cases attributed to Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, 45% to Moderna and 3% to J&J. With each vaccine, nearly 42% of anaphylactic reports occurred in people aged 17-44.

According to the CDC’s website, “the CDC follows up on any report of death to request additional information and learn more about what occurred and to determine whether the death was a result of the vaccine or unrelated.”

To date, the only information the CDC has published related to the investigation of COVID vaccine-related deaths and how those investigations were conducted is a COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Update via the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, published Jan. 27.

An interview in MedPage Today highlighted the shortfalls of the post-marketing surveillance of the COVID vaccine. Aaron Kesselheim, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, said we are seeing a lot of spontaneous reporting, a lack of formal post-approval studies because vaccines have only received Emergency Use Authorization and vaccines being given outside the healthcare systems — interfering with the ability to rigorously collect observational data.

Although the CDC and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have various systems in place to monitor the safety of vaccines, they are not “up and running” and do not have adequate resources behind them, Kesselheim said.

According to Kesselheim, there’s essentially nobody keeping track of COVID adverse reactions in the U.S. and no long-term safety data, but emphasized that this new mRNA technology is “extremely effective and extremely safe.”

On March 8, The Defender contacted the CDC with questions about reported deaths and injuries related to COVID vaccines. We provided a written list of questions about how the CDC conducts investigations into reported deaths, the status of investigations on deaths reported in the media, if autopsies are being done and the standard for determining whether an injury is causally connected to a vaccine.

We also inquired about whether healthcare providers are reporting all injuries and deaths that might be connected to the COVID vaccine, and what education initiatives are in place to encourage and facilitate proper and accurate reporting.

It took the CDC 22 days to respond to our repeated inquiries. When someone did, the person told us the agency had never received the questions — even though the employees we talked to several times said their press officers were working through the list of questions and were reviewing the email we sent. We provided the questions again yesterday, and requested a response by April 7.

Breakthrough cases

On March 31, The Defender reported on the increasing number of “breakthrough cases” of COVID in fully vaccinated people. Washington, Florida, South Carolina, Texas, New York, California and Minnesota have all reported breakthrough cases of COVID, some of which have resulted in hospitalization and death. Investigations are underway to determine if there were problems with the vaccines or if people had been infected with a variant.

When asked about the increasing number of breakthrough cases during a White House press conference, Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical advisor, said it is something they will take seriously and follow closely, but breakthrough infections happen with any vaccination.

CDC issues new travel guidance, vaccine passports stir controversyThe CDC today issued new travel guidance stating that fully vaccinated Americans traveling within the U.S. do not have to get tested for COVID before or after their trip, and do not need to self-quarantine when they return home.

On March 29, The Defender reported that the Biden administration and private companies are working to develop vaccine passports that would require Americans to prove they’ve been vaccinated against COVID as the country opens.

Dr. Naomi Wolf, founder and CEO of Daily Clout, said the passport system really isn’t about the vaccine. It’s about your data, and “once this rolls out you don’t have a choice about being part of the system.”

Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) said that vaccine credentials are a complete government overstep that will undermine public trust and substantially limit normal day-to-day essential activities. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) said “vaccine passports are unconstitutional. Period.”

On March 26, New York launched a digital vaccine passport system known as Excelsior Pass that residents can use to prove they’ve been vaccinated or recently tested negative for infection. The New York system, built on IBM’s digital health pass platform, will be used at dozens of events, including arts and entertainment venues.

J&J makes headlines with manufacturing mix-up, report of severe allergic reaction

As The Defender reported April 1, 15 million doses of J&J’s vaccine failed quality control after workers at a Baltimore manufacturing plant negligently put an AstraZeneca ingredient in J&J’s COVID vaccine. The mix-up forced regulators to delay authorization of the plant’s production lines and prompted an investigation by the FDA.

On March 31, Business Insider reported that a 74-year-old Virginia man suffered a rare reaction to J&J’s vaccine that caused a painful rash to spread across his entire body and skin to peel off. Richard Terrell told local news station WRIC he began suffering strange symptoms four days after receiving the vaccine.

“I began to feel a little discomfort in my armpit and then a few days later I began to get an itchy rash, and then after that I began to swell and my skin turned red,” Terrell said.

The rash spread to his entire body and his skin peeled off. He went to the emergency room, where doctors determined that he had experienced an adverse reaction to the COVID vaccine.

AstraZeneca suspended in Germany and Canada

On March 31, The Defender reported that Germany indefinitely suspended use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID vaccine for anyone under 60 following advice from STIKO, the country’s independent vaccine committee and external experts.

The committee investigated reports of blood clots, some fatal, in people who received the vaccine and decided to give the vaccine only to people 60 or older unless they belong to a high-risk category where the benefits outweigh the risk of a serious side-effect.

As The Defender reported on March 30, several regions of Germany, including Berlin and Munich, had temporarily paused the vaccine for people under 60 after Germany’s vaccine regulator disclosed 31 cases of a rare brain blood clot, nine of which resulted in deaths. The decision was made as a precaution ahead of a meeting with national medical regulators scheduled for later in the day where it was decided to indefinitely suspend the vaccine.

On March 30, Canada announced it was suspending AstraZeneca’s vaccine for people under age 55 following concerns it might be linked to rare blood clots, The Defender reported.

Health Canada demanded AstraZeneca conduct a detailed study on the risks and benefits of its COVID vaccine across multiple age groups, and suspended the vaccine for younger groups pending the outcome of that review.

On March 24, Health Canada updated the product information for AstraZeneca’s COVID vaccines to warn of the risk of rare blood clots associated with low levels of blood platelets following vaccinations — a stark reversal from Canada’s former position.

Children’s Health Defense asks anyone who has experienced an adverse reaction, to any vaccine, to file a report following these three steps.

VAERS is not attempting to prove causation which is why despite 3 months of vaccine administration with 2,509 VAERS after vax deaths and 205,000 reported VAERS adverse events they have not established any causation for any of them.

It is very difficult to prove a vaccine caused the effect which is why they rely on looking to “detect patterns.” Autopsies are rarely conducted and as medical examiners have stated you cannot determine a vaccine caused a death unless it occurs immediately after injection (anaphylaxis)

VAERS data going back for decades is clear they have never had even a fraction of the 205,000 VAERS for any other vaccine. These numbers are historic.

The best way to measure the vaccine’s contribution to after vax death is to compare the results from this vaccine to previous vaccines and, in fact, in VAERS recently released Standard Operating Procedures for the covid vaccine they actually spell that out “Perform comparative analysis with other vaccines (e.g., compare frequencies and proportions with influenza vaccine) • Analyze reporting rates and compare reporting rates with other vaccines or background rates.”

Here are the comparative vaccine numbers:

Flu vaccine: 1/1/2020 - 3/11/2021 (covers 64 weeks) Over 200 million doses administered

12,491 adverse effects reported to VAERS; 159 deaths. 66% of senior citizens get a flu shot. Adults 18-64 Years Old Least Likely to Get Flu Shots (35.7%)

Covid vaccine: 12/20/2020 - 3/19/2021 (covers 12 weeks)
Over 140 million doses administered

205,000 adverse effects reported to VAERS; 2,509 deaths.

Data indicates that 1/3 of the deaths after covid vax occurs in the first 48 hrs. post vaccine.

Prophylactic vaccines are given to healthy people. If they kill or seriously harm people who were not likely to contract the virus to begin with and would be expected to recover even if they did then they are not a satisfactory solution.

By the way, just as an aside, I read an interesting article from 2017 about the new mRNA technology. The author was part of the development and very upbeat about the prospects for the tech. But, he specifically made the point that it would be used first in a disease like cancer because of the significant adverse effects risk which is acceptable in a fatal disease, but would never be approved by the FDA for a prophylactic vaccine. Fast forward 3 years and the pandemic and it is being used despite significant adverse effect risk; not to mention unknown at this point long term risk.

In the category of long term risk this research demonstrates that the “spike” protein the vaccines produce itself may result in the pathogenesis of certain diseases.

https://www.mdpi.com/2076-393X/9/1/36/htm

“It is generally thought that the sole function of viral membrane fusion proteins is to allow the viruses to bind to the host cells for the purpose of viral entry into the cells, so that the genetic materials can be released and the viral replication and amplification can take place. However, recent observations suggest that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can by itself trigger cell signaling that can lead to various biological processes. It is reasonable to assume that such events, in some cases, result in the pathogenesis of certain diseases.

Our laboratory only tested the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in lung vascular cells and those implicated in the development of PAH. However, this protein may also affect the cells of systemic and coronary vasculatures, eliciting other cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, systemic hypertension, and stroke. In addition to cardiovascular cells, other cells that express ACE2 have the potential to be affected by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which may cause adverse pathological events. Thus, it is important to consider the possibility that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein produced by the new COVID-19 vaccines triggers cell signaling events that promote PAH, other cardiovascular complications, and/or complications in other tissues/organs in certain individuals (Figure 3). We will need to monitor carefully the long-term consequences of COVID-19 vaccines that introduce the spike protein into the human body. Furthermore, while human data on the possible long-term consequences of spike protein-based COVID-19 vaccines will not be available soon, it is imperative that appropriate experimental animal models are employed as soon as possible to ensure that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein does not elicit any signs of the pathogenesis of PAH or any other chronic pathological conditions.

PAH “outbreaks” have occurred in association with exposure to certain drugs or toxins [39]. A major outbreak of PAH occurred in 1965 and was associated with aminorex, a weight-loss stimulating drug [39,40]. Approximately 0.2% of people who took this drug developed PAH [40]. An epidemic was observed two years after the introduction of aminorex, and half of the patients died 10 years after the epidemic [39].

In conclusion, the recent advancement in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-based COVID-19 vaccine development is exciting and has shed light on how to end the current pandemic. These vaccines should benefit elderly people with underlying conditions if they do not exhibit any acute adverse events. However, we need to consider their long-term consequences carefully, especially when they are administered to otherwise healthy individuals as well as young adults and children. In addition to evaluating data that will become available from SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals as well as those who received the spike protein-based vaccines, further investigations of the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in human cells and appropriate animal models are warranted.

My advice to anyone who wants to get a clear picture of the deaths after the covid vax should go to the VAERS Wonder site and pull up the deaths and read the specifics. I have read hundreds of them...very sad.

Conservativemind said: "So you also don’t believe the “Not Serious” number of 18,686 means anything, right?"

It may mean something. It may mean nothing. The proper use for that data is to model it against known baselines and investigation deviations from normal, based on the studied cohorts.

But we all know that the onset of anaphylaxis is rapid, and there are numerous accounts of people demonstrating symptoms of anaphylaxis in rapid response to 'vaccination'. Such anaphylactic symptoms have to be attributed to something introduced to the patient within a short span of time.

When you people aren't arguing the dataset is meaningless, you're saying we have to rely on examinations of the dataset for background frequency before we excercise common sense.

Those seated at Jim Jone's Kookaid buffet could have looked around and realized that anyone who 'drank the Koolaid" abruptly dropped to the ground writing in death throes, and those who had not yet imbibed were fine. But according to your logic, they must not let the dying around them influence their decision and should instead, drink up!

Some look around at others, like the one in the following post, and decide not to drink the Koolaid, but choose instead to use safe, time-tested, effective medications.

The reports make me wonder why we aren't warning people that the vaccine can exacerbate 'hidden illnesses' (I've seen this excuse often. Following vacination a person is hit with previously undiagnosed diabetes, leukemia etc.). Maybe some would like to pass on the Koolaid until those pesky studies are done to explain these reactions or create guidelines and warnings to protect those who may have such 'hidden' conditions. Maybe these supposedly 'hidden' illnesses would remain so throughout the patient's life if not for experimental, faux-vaccinations.

Neither you nor I know whether the events listed are happening at a normal background frequency unless we're actually studying the dataset.

Speak for yourself. We can employ common sense and accept a physician's incredulity his patient's plalet count was zero within three days of having the vaccine (other cases like his are in VAERS) likely indicates low background frequency. The physician assumed the lab report simply had to be wrong.

The CDC owns and operates VAERS (and China owns and operates the CDC and the China virus), so I believe the data is under-reported. It also explains why shills keep trying to prevent anyone from using the observational data in VAERS until 12+ years of studies have taken place.

In other words, if between 900 and 1100 people fall and break their hips in a normal January - March timeframe and 975 people fell and broke their hips January - March, then do those falls mean anything? Do they mean the vaccine is causing people to fall down? Should that number be zero suddenly because of the vaccine?

Ridiculous out-of-context sophistry. A week or two ago, VAERS data indicated 1/3 of all deaths occurred within 48 hours and Covid deaths accounted for 84% of deaths recorded in VAERS in the last 10 years. At what point will shills be too embarrased to distort the truth the way they do?

The obvious answer in that example is that the 975 falls likely mean nothing because they're well within the normal range. But some here will trot those numbers out and rant about how 975 people have fallen and people who are pro-vaccine don't even care about the evil vaccine making everyone fall over.

In case anyone reading this hasn't noticed, the CDC is evil and has lied and manipulated reality from the first public betrayal, back when the CDC elected not to follow it's own protocols and produced millions of contaminated PCR tests. Advocate for your self. It's us versus the CDC and the rest of the Biden machinery trying to enslave us with toxic vaccines and lockdowns. China owns Biden for a reason.....

I'll say it again - in the battle between good and evil, it's us versus the CDC, FDA, Biden Administration, Vaccine manufactures and all others ordering us to ignore common sense and do as we're told. The Biden administration 'needs' Vaccine Passports because too many Americans have woken up to their plans.

I know you're kidding, but that seriously would be recorded in VAERS. 100%. It's a death, which is an adverse event, VAERS ID 10011906. By law, this would be recorded in VAERS. That's literally how this all works.

Mar 01, 2019 · Causality has always been a major topic in medicine. It is important to know the cause of disease not only to enable the best possible treatment, but also to develop the best possible diagnostic tests. Everyone knows that it is dangerous to treat fever with antibiotics without knowing its cause.

How about the FDA's definition of causality? That should help, right?

You see, there's no ICD-9 (diagnosis) code in medicine to define the pathology of pianos falling on people. So far, it's never been considered a disease or pathology. Obviously.

I read VAERS individual case accounts and all had CLINICALLY RELEVANT data as expected.

Your distortion would render the database hopelessly dilluted. That's why you're here. To dilute reasonable conversation and forstall information sharing.

Day after day you work to distort and confuse the issue, to push people to ignore the scraps of information they are able to snatch from the maw of the FDA, CDC, NIH and other Biden administration.

It's WE THE PEOPLE against the weaponized machinerey of the Biden administration, which is owned and operated by China.

China is directing efforts to further harm us after releasing the Covid-19 virus. China is pretending to 'help us' by releasing the China virus genome for the good of the US and others it wants to exterminate.

Think about that. Why would China release to us the genome of their bioweapon? We would then have evidence that it was a Chinese engineered bioweapon.

They wouldn't. In reality China released an inaccurate genome Spring of 2020, upon which all of the vaccine developers based their experimental gene therapies, which are in reality China's next phase of biowarfare, fake vaccines.

And there you are, carrying water for them.
