I’m talking about VAERS, which is the Federal government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. The system is specifically designed to accept reports of any adverse event which occurs at any time after a vaccine is given. It explicitly states that the data in VAERS is NOT causally linked. That’s all that I’ve said about it. There have been zero deaths causally linked to COVID-19 vaccines. There have been a small number (about 1 per 400,000 for Moderna and 1 per 100,000 for Pfizer) of severe allergic reactions from people early on before the warning was given to be especially cautious if your medical history includes a problem with severe reactions. However, all of the reactions observed were immediately treated and everyone recovered. Typically such reactions are treated with epinephrine.
If we agree on that, then great.
And my argument is that the same standards be applied to both government reporting websites.
If we agree on that then great.
That would break VAERS because the only people who would be able to report any adverse effects from vaccines would be doctors who have performed a thorough medical investigation to causally link the vaccine to the adverse event.
The purpose of VAERS is to catch the stuff that a doctor might otherwise miss or dismiss because he’s given this same shot 1,000 times and nobody’s ever complained of that before. But over the course of 100 million shots, if 500 people experience something and either they or a nurse or a friend or whoever can then report it, patterns begin to emerge and investigations can lead to warnings for people with specific medical issues.
A US Standard Certificate of Death is an official document. It’s there to record what actually happened and what actually caused death.
VAERS is an open reporting system to record any adverse event that happened later, regardless of whether it’s actually related to a vaccine or not.
