Myth busted: VAERS is NOT "overreported"

My latest survey shatters all of the myths that the CDC has used to ignore the VAERS safety data. There are more reports for these vaccines because there are more events observed.

Executive summary

There are only three possible reasons that the adverse events reported in VAERS are so high for the COVID vaccines:

1. Fraud

2. Overreporting

3. The vaccines are unsafe.

Nobody argues for #1 because there is no evidence to support that.

The CDC and FDA argue, without any evidence, that the sole reason is #2.

This is unlikely since the “overreporting” was happening worldwide in every adverse event reporting system and it all began at the same time as the vaccine rollout.

In this article, I bust the “overreporting” myth by using data that took me only a few hours to collect. What I found is that it isn’t even a close call: VAERS is actually underreported for the COVID vaccines (relative to other vaccines) and there are more reports because the vaccines are extremely unsafe (reason #3).

For the COVID vaccines, the CDC has had nearly two years to collect the data that I collected in just 2 hours. For Gardasil, they’ve had 16 years to collect the data.

What I found from my survey of over 250 healthcare workers was that:

1. Deaths were underreported to VAERS by a factor of 51x which is consistent with my “minimum URF” estimate of 41X that I calculated more than a year ago.

2. The number of COVID vaccine deaths observed by just the first 281 healthcare workers to fill out the survey was 1,128. This is enough deaths to sink any vaccine in any rational society. Remember: We shut down a baby formula factory after just 2 babies died. Also, there are over 22 million healthcare workers in the US. I just sampled a tiny fraction of the workers and found 1,128 deaths that were judged by healthcare professionals to be associated with the COVID vaccines.

3. The adverse events for the COVID vaccines are vastly underreported compared to previous vaccines, not overreported as hypothesized by the CDC. There were only 1.2X more events actually reported for the COVID vaccines than for all previous vaccines combined. But there were 6.6X as many adverse events observed for the COVID vaccines than for all vaccines combined. This means that doctors were 5.4X less likely to report an adverse event if it happened after a COVID vaccine than for other vaccines.

4. This means that if you thought this mortality chart was bad for the COVID vaccines, the reality is at least 41 times worse for the total number of actual events. Also the relative bar heights in 2021 and 2022 should be made 5.4X higher. This is clearly a red-alert safety signal for the COVID vaccines. These bars in this chart, once adjusted, would literally be “off the charts.”

   

    

   Domestic deaths reported to VAERS total 14,842 as of October 23, 2022. The two bars on the right need to be 5.4X higher to adjust for the 5.4X lower reporting rates for the COVID vaccines. The actual number of deaths are around 41X higher than the number reported (14,842).

I invite any fact checker in the world to verify the data I collected or to collect their own.

Why hasn’t the CDC collected any data to dispute my data? They’ve had nearly 2 years to do something that took me 2 hours! I wish I knew but they won’t tell me.

The myth: “Nothing to see here folks… it’s just overreporting”

The CDC and FDA have always claimed that the high reporting rates in VAERS are simply due to the overreporting of background events that is caused by greater awareness of VAERS by the public and the healthcare industry.

They’ve made this claim for the COVID vaccines as noted in the Rosenblum paper, “Safety of mRNA vaccines administered during the initial 6 months of the US COVID-19 vaccination programme: an observational study of reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System and v-safe”:

Dugway Duke hardest hit.

The number of COVID vaccine deaths observed by just the first 281 healthcare workers to fill out the survey was 1,128. This is enough deaths to sink any vaccine in any rational society.

Something's happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear.

Towards the lower end of severity, there is probably major UNDERreporting. Most people who experience things like bad headaches, nausea, flu-like symptoms, and dizziness probably do not report these to VAERS, even if they know about VAERS.

Can anyone think of any vaccinations other than for CoupFlu that require anyone shooting people up with them to be pre-registered and pre-approved by the federal government?

Any other vaxxes that are so hard to get at a primary care provider’s office?

I think this was done to ensure that the vast majority of CoupFlu vaccibators are public employees.

And make it easier to get around VAERS reporting

[T.B. Yoits]

One massive takeaway from the Wuhanic Plague is that government can't be trusted and that reporting for illnesses and adverse events of treatments needs to be collected in independent third party systems outside of the reach of any government.

[mewzilla]

And also to ensure that doctors and nurses didn’t get cold feet from vaccinating people the practice had a relationship with who were harmed.

It’s easier to look the other when someone else did the sticking.

Good report. Thanks for posting.

Fraud, really... to WHAT end???

This very topic alone is why we need Sen. Ron Johnson in Wisconsin RE-Elected Nov. 8. And many other reasons, but he has shouted from the rooftops about this VAERS reports being squashed by Big Gubmet!!

VOTE Nov. 8 - all RED - Get the truth out about these experimental shots.

Instead of trying to do this round about bank shot analysis why doesn't Kirsch do the obvious thing - reveal the data showing a higher rate of serious adverse events among the vaccinated vs. a demographically similar unvaccinated population?

We know VAERS doesn't report events caused by the vaccine, only those that someone reported as happening at some point following the vaccination. And with healthcare providers specifically instructed to report events even if there's no reason to tie them to the vaccines.

That's why suicides and accidental deaths are included in the numbers he's looking at.

It's really simple. Do the vaccinated have higher rates of these events than the unvaccinated, or alternatively, have the rates of these events gone up in the general population since before Covid.

I wonder why Kirsch doesn't do the simple, obvious analysis.

[cyclotic]

Who overreports the cause of death or injuries? Yea, that would be no one

[BlackbirdSST]

I wonder why Kirsch doesn't do the simple, obvious analysis.

Clearly it's because he isn't as smart as you. What a waste it is for you to spend your time posting here when you could be saving the world from this charlatan. /s

Yes. Many posts on places like IMGUR.com treated the adverse events as a badge of honor, proving you sacrifice for others, and rather than report it, they bragged about it. How sick they felt, their fevers, the misery and body aches, blinding headaches and extensive diarrhea - all of it posted to the Internet but not to VAERS.

I think he’s smart enough to realize the analysis wouldn’t support his hypothesis.

Or get him more Substack subscribers.

Deaths are required by law to be reported by health care professionals to VARES. Kirsch is alleging health care professionals are violating the law.
