“You do realize that doctors are required to report to VAERS any vaccine side effects. Many of those are legit reports. I'm sure you could separate all the doctor retorts from the non doctors and get an accurate picture.”
I’m sure if you did separate the doctor reports - especially ones where the vaccine was not the cause of death - you wouldn’t have the thousands of deaths that antivaxers use to justify their decision to not get the jab.
Think about it. If thousands of people were actually dying from the vaccine, wouldn’t it be reported by some news agency? Not even right-wing outlets are claiming that the vaccine is directly responsible for thousands of deaths. VARS collects data people self report like how they feel, any systems, etc. It has no way of determining if the fever you had yesterday was because of the vaccine you got a few days ago. Same thing with deaths. Doctors, nursing homes, etc report that a vaccinated person died, regardless of the cause of death.
