By the end of April 2021, just four months into COVID injection, VAERS was already reporting 2,926 deaths worldwide within 30 days of injection, with 46% of those deaths occurring on day zero, one, or two following injection.
A couple months later, 4,812 deaths, 1,736, or 36% of those deaths occurring within the day of the injection or within one or two days.
Francis Collins, head of NIH, when confronted by Senators with those stats. He did admit that six deaths were associated with the J&J vaccine, but for the other, over a few thousand deaths, he said, people die.
