VAERS provides valuable insights into vaccine-induced anaphylaxis; however, it has limitations. Notably, VAERS is a passive reporting system requiring health care professionals to submit event reports that include vaccine lot numbers, which can be cumbersome to obtain and submit by treating clinicians. Additionally, the anaphylaxis case definition used by VAERS requires reactions to meet strict criteria, which can exclude mild reactions and some severe allergic reactions whose systemic involvement was limited by prompt treatment. Such treatment is more likely in health care workers who were overrepresented among the first wave of vaccinations, many of whom were vaccinated via occupational health programs in hospital settings. Hypervigilance toward adverse reactions to vaccines due to early publicized reports of vaccine-induced anaphylaxis and high rates of vaccine hesitancy may also lead to false-positive reports in VAERS. Given the high and growing prevalence of allergic disease in the general US population, public concern about possible vaccine-induced anaphylaxis risk among individuals with allergies, and the key role of vaccination in achieving herd immunity to COVID 19, it is essential that additional, comprehensive, and up-to-date clinical data be evaluated to further understand this important topic.
Just heard on the Project Veritas whistle blower video that it takes them 1/2 hour to fill out the VAERs report, add the other disincentives and there you go.
