VAERS is the vaccine adverse event reporting system managed by the CDC and FDA. It is a voluntary reporting system, thus its numbers grossly underestimate the true number. Case reports are carefully vetted by the CDC before they are added to the database. Submitting a false report is against federal law, a felony, and punishable by fine and imprisonment. As you can see the total number of reports of death associated with vaccination was quite low for many years – until 2021. No previous vaccine has ever been associated with nearly as many deaths as the COVID shots. Indeed, the COVID shots have resulted in more reports of death than all other vaccines combined.
