Anyone can file a VAERS report, and doctors\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vaers.hhs.gov\/faq.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">must<\/a>\u00a0report any death that happens soon after vaccination even if the person died in a car crash or from cancer. In this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8875435\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a>\u00a0there were clear examples of the vaccine being excluded as cause of death, yet the reports are still listed in VAERS and counted as vaccine deaths by those who make these memes.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the creator multiplies 19,355 by\u202f31. They claim only one in thirty\u2011one vaccine adverse events gets reported because of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nationalcitizensinquiry.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WI-4d-Rose-Pharmacovigilance-VAERS-Paper-FINAL_2021-10-01.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">analysis<\/a>\u00a0from a wordpress blog disguised as a medical journal, with\u00a0an editorial board that includes anti-science and anti-vaccine figures\u00a0such as Peter McCullough,\u00a0Pierre Kory,\u00a0Russell Blaylock, and\u00a0Brian Hooker.<\/p>\n<p>What is the likely number of deaths actually caused by the COVID\u201119 vaccines? Careful reviews by CDC experts have found nine deaths in the United States linked to a rare blood-clotting condition after the Johnson\u202f&amp;\u202fJohnson vaccine. No other deaths have been confirmed as caused by any COVID\u201119 shot, out of hundreds of millions of doses given. That works out to far less than one death per million doses\u2014many times lower than the risk of dying from COVID\u00a0itself.
