If you understand how VAERS works, then you understand why the VAERS website itself specifically states that the events recorded do not necessarily have anything to do with any vaccine. And you understand that the purpose of VAERS is not to pin things on vaccines, but rather to use statistical models to find rare and unexpected reactions by filtering the data in such a way that low level patterns begin to emerge. This simplistic "oh there are 2,000 deaths there" nonsense is a complete and total misuse of the data and it's so completely dishonest and misleading.
Whether there is one death listed in VAERS or 1,000 is not relevant since you have to look at each case individually to understand what the actual cause of death was. VAERS doesn't give you a cause of death. VAERS simply lists that a death happened with no judgement as to the cause. If you get a vaccine on Tuesday and get hit by a bus on Wednesday, it's listed in VAERS. By law.
There have been zero deaths in the US or the UK where a medical investigation has determined that a COVID-19 vaccine caused or contributed to the death. Zero. Not a single one.
