As noted on the VAERS website,\u00a0anyone\u00a0can report anything to VAERS, regardless of causation.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0most important warning on\u00a0the\u00a0website helps put\u00a0the\u00a0above claims into context:\u00a0\u201cVAERS reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable.\u00a0<\/strong>Reports to VAERS can also be biased. As a result, there are limitations on how\u00a0the\u00a0data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

These death\u00a0claims usually don\u2019t have any proof to back them up. In fact,\u00a0the life-saving benefits of the COVID vaccine<\/a>\u00a0vastly outweigh the\u00a0rare risks<\/a>\u00a0of an adverse event.<\/p>\n

As for the claim about the clinical trials and the death rate, he is leaving out some very important data. It does say\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0that “From Dose 1 through the March 13, 2021 data cutoff date, there were a total of 38 deaths, 21 in the COMIRNATY group and 17 in the placebo group.”, which is indeed 23% higher death rate in the vaccine group. But the very next sentence reads “None of the deaths were considered related to vaccination.”[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
