"If medical providers are required by law to report all deaths and serious adverse events, why do you think they are not reporting them? I am asking out of curiosity, not to be snarky. "
No problem, as I did not even know they had to report all serious adverse vaccination events. However, as with my own neighbor, many do not report adverse events thus doctors do not know all such. But what I stated and substantiated was that the criteria for a probably case of Covid is broad. Meaning that death rates are likely inflated since the beginning of the pandemic, (and there is some financial incentive). Yet unlike deaths, in which medical personal are usually involved and ask questions about the health of the person that died, there are far more Covid cases than are reported.
Again, in the example, the man’s death was reported as due to heart failure, not Covid. Because he had recently been vaccinated, his death had to reported to VAERS.
I don’t disagree with you at all that Covid death figures are likely somewhat inflated.
Yes, it’s quite likely that mild adverse events following vaccination are underreported because ordinary people don’t report many of them to VAERS or their healthcare providers (sore arm, tiredness lasting a day or two, etc.). Those requiring significant medical attention (doctor or hospital visit) must be reported by the healthcare provider.
Also agree not all Covid cases were reported. Many people with asymptomatic or very mild cases did not get tested.
