How many VAERS reports get verified?

All of the deaths are. I don't know about the others.

"More than 539 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through January 31, 2022. During this time, VAERS received 11,879 preliminary reports of death (0.0022%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. CDC and FDA clinicians review reports of death to VAERS including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records."

“All of the deaths are. I don’t know about the others.”

VAERS includes mandatory reporting by medical personnel of serious events that occur within a certain time frame. And they are encouraged to report others even when it’s not clear the vaccine had a connection.

But VAERS also contains self-reports by people with no medical knowledge at all. It invites these reports:

“(VAERS) is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences. Anyone can submit a report to VAERS, including parents and patients.”

I have a friend who manages a VAERS program for Africa. Some of the self reporting there can be pretty entertaining. VAERS and its twins around the world are looking for patterns to identify possible real problems. Statistics. The fact that the self-reporting isn’t verified isn’t a big concern for their purposes, but it’s not hard data like some want to pretend it is.
