Yes, vaccine makers and doctors are required to submit to VAERS any potential adverse reactions that happen in a window after taking the vaccine.

That does not mean that what is being reported IS, in fact, a reaction. It just means it's a problem that popped up soon enough after a vaccine to warrant attention, just in case.

Essentially, if any medical problem pops up within a month of the vaccine that the doctor can't IMMEDIATELY rule as unrelated to the vaccine (like a gunshot to the head), then it gets reported to VAERS.

Life-long alcoholic dies of liver failure two weeks after the vaccine? VAERS. 98 year old cancer survivor dies of heart failure shortly after getting the vaccine? VAERS.

See the problem?

The database is not even expected to have a MAJORITY of the cases reported here as vaccine-related problems. They are just problems that happened shortly after getting the vaccine.

But if tens of millions of people are getting vaccinated, then some proportion of those people are going to get sick, because tens of millions of people get sick all the time.

And if people can submit their own report, that means that if you have a headache the day after getting a vaccine, you can file a LEGITIMATE VAERS report, and your headache will now be considered a potential adverse reaction. That's not fraud. It's just not likely to be a vaccine-related problem.

That's why VAERS isn't really designed to be used the way you guys are trying to use it. Because it's not designed to be solid data on vaccine problems. It's designed to collect random reports from everywhere over everything to help researchers focus their efforts into localized problems.

Think of it this way: VAERS is like a police tip line. The vast majority of tips are going to go nowhere and mean nothing, even if the tipsters genuinely thought they were trying to help. But police will collect EVERY tip and investigate EVERY lead, JUST IN CASE. Even though most of the tips are bullshit.

That's the data you're seeing.
