VAERS is helpful for keeping track of vaccine safety, but just because something is reported doesn\u2019t mean the vaccine caused it. Even if they\u2019re not sure, doctors should report any important health problems that happen after vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>The most pertinent warning on the website helps put the above claims into context:\u00a0\u201cVAERS reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable.\u00a0Reports to VAERS can also be biased. As a result, there are limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data\u00a0from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the risk of autoimmune disorder after vaccination, vaccination during cancer treatment, and whether people are dying from the COVID vaccine this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","jtf_topic_subjects":[],"class_list":["post-9335","just-the-facts","type-just-the-facts","status-publish","hentry","entry","no-media"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/just-the-facts\/9335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/just-the-facts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/just-the-facts"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"jtf_topic_subjects","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topic_subjects?post=9335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
