VAERS is very difficult to ascertain what is going on. According the the VAERS database statement — it should not used as an objective tool for decision making because it is self reported. Do I think there is some nonsense being reported? I do think there is. But I am also not blind to the actual results of the vaccination. I can tell you I have not seen a critically ill vaccination complication. I think there are a lot of minor to moderate complications that are being reported, but are self limited. I can attest to the fact that I have see an awful lot off long COVID symptoms, but not long vaccination injuries. I keep my eye out for it as I am always looking to refine my knowledge.
To be clear, I think there are risks to the vaccination. But I think there is a population where the benefit justify the risk. I do not think this is actually 99.9% survival, (until omicron emerged which I think is a pandemic ender. I point out that in the past there have been reasonable well forecasted next variants on the horizon — currently there are none) I think her his a far worse survival rate (98% or so). But, I think it is also preventable and the survival cohort is clearly, younger and healthier. So there is not a need to vaccinate the long and healthy. I believe that actually targeting the vulnerable is the best use of science, and makes the most sense.
This is something that is lost on the medical bureaucracy.
‘K, thx for that, but,
Regardless of your evaluation of VARES reporting/reports, even given 50% error, I can’t conceivably understand how you could discount what seems to be overwhelming evidence of mortality v. all other previous vaccines combined?
As to it being self reported, word is that that has led to VERY significant under reporting. It’s not as if families are being advised to do so, and in my opinion, there is strong pressure against it in the community.
Re: 52 - A reasonable comment. Don’t expect it to register with several posters on this thread that are pushing a narrative, and that use the deaths of people as props to further advance that narrative.
