In fact, any death after COVID vaccination was required to be reported by law as a function of the EUA, regardless of causation, meaning deaths not caused by the vaccine are included in these reports. Attempting to use that percentage of deaths that occurred after vaccination, regardless of cause as proportional to the number of deaths caused by the vaccine, is false.<\/p>\n<p>These claims wildly underestimated the number of deaths due to COVID by misunderstanding death certificates and wildly overestimated the number of serious adverse events by misusing VAERS. Is it poor math or lying with numbers?
