The bigger question with events is the serious events. If someone has a heart attack and goes to the hospital, how many of those are reported? I presume that in the 15 minute waiting period, anyone with a heart attack in the waiting area should be reported. Are they? No idea. But they should be reported for VAERS to have any credibility.

What about the next day? Does the ER guy ask when the heart attack victim had their shot? Don't know but it's probably not the ER guy's first priority. Mostly going to try to help the patient.

Which shows that the serious events and/or deaths are likely going underreported.

Incidentally, a few weeks back there was a post about an internal medicine doctor who had previously participated in clinical trials, and ALWAYS got a call back within 2-4 hours when calling in an AE. This time with the coof, either the other end did not answer the phone, or they hung up knowing she was an internal medicine MD.

No argument at all. The only question is by how much.
