Introduction
We hear the official narrative of COVID vaccine promoters that vaccines are “safe and effective”. It seems believable, since all newspapers say it and all google searches give us only results confirming that.
And then suddenly, a friend of a friend, or a relative of a coworker, or someone else, dies after getting vaccinated. It often prompts people to start asking questions and looking around “doing their own research”. When looking around, they often come across a graph like this:
Even to people who are not data analysts, this graph says “wow, something is going on this year. What is this picture about?” The graph refers to the so called VAERS, a Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System. It was created in 1990 in the aftermath of scandals of big pharma sponsored childhood vaccines that turned out to be dangerous and harmful. It was created as an early warning system, where potential vaccine problems could be reported by the public and medical professionals and picked up.
What the graph above is saying is that deaths following vaccinations with ANY vaccines were happening every year. They include deaths following flu vaccines, childhood vaccines, tetanus, shingles shots, etc. Every year, some deaths would occur, but in year 2021, the deaths literally went OFF THE CHARTS and zoomed straight up. The number of deaths in just five months of Covid vaccinations in 2021, exceeded the total of ALL deaths from ALL vaccines in the entire past decade!
This shocking number would, of course, alert an open minded reader that something really big and very bad is happening. But the vaccinators cleverly get help from so called “independent fact checkers”, who are ready to “debunk” just about anything that goes against vaccines. And naturally, here, or here, or in many other fact checks, the fact checkers are “debunking” this graph. What they say boils down to two arguments:
Anyone can enter any data into VAERS, so it should not be trusted.
VAERS adverse events do not establish causation, so if VAERS reports that a young person died of blood clots two days after vaccination, it may be just a “coincidence”. The fact checkers say “No evidence has established that a COVID-19 vaccine caused any deaths”
So, fact checkers tell us:
I am setting out to “debunk the debunkers” and show that
The reports of deaths are overwhelmingly NOT fake
Most reports come from medical professionals
Most other reports come from frustrated relatives desperate to be heard
While any particular VAERS entry cannot establish causation, the causation is plainly obvious in the data
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, you can easily check it all for yourself!
With this plan in mind, let’s go over each of the points.
Exploring VAERS data
VAERS data is easy to access, search for and download. It is available at CDC WONDER database. Anyone can visit it and make a query. You can search by year, by vaccine, by symptom, by state, and so on.
For this article, since I am just a lowly person with limited time, I selected “all deaths from Covid vaccines in Illinois”, since I live in Illinois and it is fairly representative of the United States and I have no time to analyze all six thousand death reports from all states, giving each entry enough attention. You can try the same and check it for your own state.
I downloaded the data from that search and imported it into a spreadsheet, which you can download here. This spreadsheet includes the raw data sheet and the summary sheet.
Classifying deaths
I tried to classify every death report as:
Generated by medical professionals (hospice, doctors, nurses, hospital staff)
Written by relatives
Obvious fakes such as “Developed leukemia and kidney failure. Died in 6 days.” or anything referring to an “obituary”. I actually tried to be skeptical and possibly overclassified some entries as fakes.
No data (entries with grossly insufficient data that are essentially empty).
Here are my results:
Here are some example of “medical professional entries”:
pt presented to the Medical Center on 9/2 in respirator Distress pt placed on bipap, later intubated pt expired on 9/10/21 @ 1432
vaccine given 7/9/21 patient admitted to local Hospital then transferred to another Hospital and finally transferred to a final Medical Center ICU 7/15/21 with liver failure
Examples of “entered by relatives” (all typos preserved):
"My previously healthy brother received the Pfizer vaccine (1st dose) and 4 days after he was hospitalized with shortness of breath, heart failure, blood clots in his arm, lungs and leg along with a stroke and many medical conditions kept arising as he was hospitalized. He was in the CICU for a week and a half. Unfortunately, my brother passed away from the Pfizer vaccine. Until his last day the doctors still "didn't know" what was wrong with him. A lot happened during his hospital stay, but this is just a brief statement. They have been keeping his medical records from me. They tested him repeatedly there from covid and he wa salways negative. They had no other explanation to what was happening and all along they wanted it to be COVID-19 and were so quick to say it was not the vaccine.""Yes a lot of test and lab were done, but like I said previously they have not given me his medical records so I don't know all the exact dates to everything yet.
My mother, was found deceased on March 19, 2021. Last seen and spoke to on March 18, 2021 around noon or before. After first injections, Pt reported being extremely tired around day 4 and laid down for a nap in the afternoon and woke up the next day in the morning. On the day she was found, it appears she had taken a nap on the couch and never woke up from the nap. This occurred within 10 days after the shot. Possible 9 days if she passed on the 18th. She was found deceased on 3/19/2021 after she didn't answer he apartment door for her meal being delivered.
Examples of “fakes”
“liver cancer”
Hospitalization and death within 30 days of vaccination. Obituary stated that he died at Hospital.
Again, you can download my spreadsheet here.
So, let’s now go on to the debunking of fact checkers:
The reports of deaths are overwhelmingly NOT fake
As you can easily see from the data in the spreadsheet, 3/4 entries were made by medical professionals and 15% by relatives. There are no repetitious entries among those, little exaggerated language, no obviously similar texts. As you would expect, in the relatives posts there are misspellings and signs of a variety of personalities.
So, 90% of entries look generally believable. You may review the data and reach a different conclusion about specific entries (read all fields like prescriptions lists), but your results will likely lead to the same conclusion.
Most reports come from medical professionals
Close to 75% are reports from medical professionals. These include medical language, long lists of medications probably copied from patients’ charts, and use medical jargon generously. Many medical professional generated posts list patients’ prescription medications and other such things. None seems to be similar to another as if written from a script or a template.
Most other reports come from frustrated relatives desperate to be heard
The reports from relatives appear to be completely different, written by different people, include a varying personal story, do not generally share the same writing style or misspellings.
While any particular VAERS entry cannot establish causation, the causation is plainly obvious in the data
It is absolutely true that any single VAERS entry cannot establish causation. I did not even attempt to establish causation, with ONE exception: the truly outlandish reports not seemingly written by medical pros, such as referring to “liver cancer” with nothing else, the ones that seem crazy even to me (not a medical doctor), I classified as fakes. I tried to be skeptical and some of the entries that I considered fakes, may have been written written by real people. To all such people, I apologize in advance.
That said, just because any particular entry cannot establish causation, the totality of the data clearly does establish causation.
Why is that? For many reasons. First, many entries share similar diagnoses such as blood clots. Second, the fact that most entries appear legitimate, and that there are so much more deaths from COVID vaccines reported compared to previous year, establish a statistical certainty that COVID vaccines are far more dangerous than the truly time tested “safe vaccines”, such as tetatus or measles or shingles shots, for example. If most records are real, and if they exceed the past averages by an order of magnitude, something is definitely going on.
AND MOST IMPORTANT, you can easily check it all for yourself!
Yes, I only looked at one state (Illinois).
Take a look at your own state and make a post! I will link to a post about your own state, if it seems nicely written and includes raw data. No need to rely on me and my conclusion. If you are in Kansas, just look at Kansas VAERS reports of Covid vaccine deaths for 2021. See for yourself! And “do your own research”.
Take that, fact checkers, and “debunk” me!
Are VAERS reports understating the actual, true deaths from vaccines?
This is really the “$64,000 question”. The answer to this question is extremely difficult to obtain with any degree of certainty and this article does not even try to go into that.
If any understatement exists, it is hard to estimate how large it is.
I want to avoid discussing this question here to avoid mixing up too many claims in one article. I have my own opinion that I will not discuss here.
Disclaimers to preempt questions like “who are you to analyze this”
I am neither a medical doctor, nor a statistician. I do have two degrees (computer science and business). It does not take a genius to carefully look at data, summarize it, and make simple quantitative and qualitative conclusions. It just takes an effort and some desire to learn something new.
English is NOT my native language, so I apologize for all grammatical errors.
Igor, thank you for writing this thorough post debunking the VAERS propaganda. I have been repeatedly pushing back against the “dropbox” talking point used to discredit this vitally important monitoring system, but the brainwashed bots are fairly impenetrable on this matter. I do plan to cover this topic in an upcoming essay and appreciate having your article as a reference.
BTW, my favorite source for viewing the VAERS data is https://openvaers.com/ (https://openvaers.com/covid-data for the COVID data). They present the data in a much more accessible format and also make it easy to view/search reports. I have read through several hundred reports there and have found all of them highly credible.
Great analysis. Nicely written. It shows that the "fact-checkers" are probably... well, maybe sponsored by certain well-known multinational corporations, shall we say.
