Death and Disability Cases reported to VAERS


Between mid 1990 and the end of 2000 there were over 110,000 adverse reactions reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), many of them serious, many of them deaths.  Credible estimates of reporting range from 1-10%.  This means the adverse reactions reported probably represent between 1 million and 10 million actual adverse vaccine associated reactions.  (Meaning that to arrive at more accurate estimates of adverse reactions, you should multiply any numbers by from 10 to 100.)  PLEASE NOTE HOW INCOMPLETE THE VAERS DATA IS*.   (Running tab= 400+/100,000+  This means that I have so far added to this site only 400+ of the over 100,000 reactions reported.  Around  350 deaths, equal to, perhaps as many as 35,000, are included in the 400+ reported so far.  In other words, the deaths reported here so far represent but a fraction of what has been reported to VAERS, and that fraction reported to VAERS only represents a fraction of actual vaccine-associated deaths.):

*Not only is there incomplete information, reports not followed up on, missing information, etc., but there is no field to record the date of death.  If one of two things did not happen,  either the reporter wrote the date of death in the reported text, or the death was sudden and can be presumed to have occurred on the adverse event onset date, there would be no way of knowing this most critical piece of information.
