Was not vaccinated with the COVID vaccine… read the title again slowly.
Either those 17 (?) entries were a mistake (or a stupidity), or as has been noted before, VAERS events within 14 days of the jab itself are considered UNVAXXED.
I’m leaning toward the latter interpretation. Thus, someone wanted it entered into the VAERS database despite the cognitive dissonance (introduced by gubmint interpretation).
“...cases published to VAERS...”
The poster was correct. Why would you publish to VAERS...” adverse events of the NON-VACCINATED?
