How many people can “self report” their own death?
Reports are accepted from anyone. I can report that 47 people died from Tylenol. Did they die? Who knows. Did they exist in the first place? Who knows. Did Tylenol just cause 47 deaths? Probably not. But suddenly VAERS says it did.
Most of the reports that go into VAERS are simply a matter of “a person got a vaccine and then later some bad event happened.” They aren’t people maliciously messing with the system; it’s simply a matter of an event happened some time after the fact. If Grandma Jones gets a vaccine today, slips on some ice and falls and breaks her hip a week from now, contracts pneumonia while in the hospital from that, and then dies, did the vaccine kill her? No, but her death is absolutely listed in VAERS. Sometimes older folks die. These vaccines are being given to the elderly first. 1,099? I’m surprised it’s not higher.

“A report to VAERS generally does not prove that the identified vaccine(s) caused the adverse event described. It only confirms that the reported event occurred sometime after vaccine was given. No proof that the event was caused by the vaccine is required in order for VAERS to accept the report. VAERS accepts all reports without judging whether the event was caused by the vaccine.”
