This data is a graph of deaths reported to VAERS for Covid Vaccine versus all other vaccines combined since 1990. This is not from a conspiracy source. This is from the CDC (US Govt) and is very likely to be under reported.

Thanks for your response to my earlier posts T5150.
Thank you Tigger for your measured, balanced and logical response to mine.
I went onto the CDC website, but I couldn't replicate the report you presented.
Go to https://vaers.hhs.gov/
Click on VAERS Data
Scroll down, tick the "I have read...." and click on search CDC Wonder.
Scroll down and click on "I agree" on the disclaimer.
Click the REquest Form tab
1. Organise Table Layout - Group results by... Year Reported (leave everything else in 1.
2. Select Symptoms - Leave on "all"
3. Select Vaccine Characteristics - Leave on "all" for all
4. Select Location /Age?gender - Leave on "all" for all
5. Select Other Event Characteristics - Event Category - Select "death" - Leave on "all" for all else
6. Search text fields - Leave empty for all
7. Select reported dates - Select 1992 to 2021 inclusive
8. Select Report recieved dates - Select 1992 to 2021 inclusive
9. Select Vaccination dates - leave on all
10. Select Adverse onset - - Select 1992 to 2021 inclusive
11 Select death dates - - Select 1992 to 2021 inclusive
Then click any of the "send" buttons on the right
The results will then come up, then click on the chart tab.
To make it look the same as mine, click on chart options and change the "measures" from percentage to Events reported and then scroll down to changeplot orientation to vertical.
Im sorry this is so long and labourious but its important to show Im not fudging the data.
>I felt, however that, if the number of deaths were as high as indicated in the report you posted, there would be other references to it.
There is a clear and direct reference to this on the CDC website which states...." *More than 310 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through June 14, 2021. During this time, **VAERS received 5,343 reports of death (0.0017%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine.** FDA requires healthcare providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS, **even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine was the cause**. A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records, has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines. However, recent reports indicate a plausible causal relationship between the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and TTS, a rare and serious adverse event—blood clots with low platelets—which has caused deaths.*"
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html
I agree that the VAERS data does not prove or show or even seek to prove or show causality. That is not the purpose of the VAERS system. The purpose of the VAERS system is to identify signals regarding the vaccine that require investigation. VAERS data does not show causality or disprove it.
There were a number of references to the use of the CDC data. I've posted below a couple of the articles I came across. The common theme of these articles is that there is no causal link in the CDC data between the vaccines and the death of the vaccine recipients. In other words, **if you got a vaccine, and were then run over by a truck, your death will be recorded in the CDC data as a death occurring following a vaccine.** If the number of people who receive vaccines increases significantly, then so will the reported deaths.
Yes the VAERS data does not prove causality, however what you have posted is not true. The VAERS site spells out what healthcare workers are required to report....
*"Healthcare providers are required by law to report to VAERS:
• Any adverse event listed in the VAERS Table of Reportable Events Following Vaccination that occurs within the specified time period after vaccinations
• An adverse event listed by the vaccine manufacturer as a contraindication to further doses of the vaccine"*
Specifically relating to COVID....
*Healthcare providers are required to report to VAERS the following adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination [under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)], and other adverse events if later revised by CDC:
Vaccine administration errors, whether or not associated with an adverse event (AE)
Serious AEs regardless of causality. Serious AEs per FDA are defined as:
Death;
A life-threatening AE;
Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization;
A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions;
A congenital anomaly/birth defect;
An important medical event that based on appropriate medical judgement may jeopardize the individual and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.
Cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome
Cases of COVID-19 that result in hospitalization or death
Healthcare providers are encouraged to report to VAERS any additional clinically significant AEs following vaccination, even if they are not sure if vaccination caused the event.
Also report any additional select AEs and/or any revised safety reporting requirements per FDA’s conditions of authorized use of vaccine(s) throughout the duration of any COVID-19 Vaccine being authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)."*
One of the articles that I have posted is particularly disparaging of people who use the CDC data to advance an anti-vax agenda. I think the article has value, because there are people taking advantage of this health crisis to advance these ideas. I am not suggesting that your intentions, in posting the data from the CDC, are to advance an anti-vax agenda. You have stated quite clearly that you are not anti-vax. Please don't interpret the tone of the article as a personal attack by me.
I appreciate and respect your willingness to discuss this civilly and not paint me as an anti-vaxxer. Kudos to you.
Both of the articles you posted are factual, but in my opinion are pulling a journalistic trick that I see a lot in the media lately. That trick is to use a fact to club down the actual story, For instance both of these articles state that (accurately and factually) that the VAERS data does not prove causality which is correct, but then basically make the point that you should then look away and disregard it which is rubbish. That graph I posted shows deaths after the Covid vaccine ***relative*** to every other vaccine for 30years and the same conditions apply for all the other vaccines.
Ive been banging on about Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) a lot in this thread based on hundreds of randomised clinical trials proving the safety and efficacy of Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) as both a treatment and a prophylactic. If you think that is interesting and decide to google it, probably the majority of articles you will see will all say there is no scientific proof that this is true. The trick here is the same. All of these articles will **ALL** simply say that there are no **peer reviewed** studies showing the safety and efficacy of Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) for COVID which is (was) true but that is because the peer review process takes a long time and we havent had a long time. NONE of the vaccine studies went through peer review. None of the vaccines got through Phase 3 trials.
As an aside the American Journal of Therapeutics has just published the first fully peer reviewed journal article showing the safety and efficacy of Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) for Covid.

Discussing the safety and efficacy of the covid vaccines is a valid thing to do, but we need to be careful about it. It's so hard to believe anything we read these days - particularly on the internet. It's just a real struggle to know where to get valid information.
Media dissemination of information has become horribly politicised. The second of those articles that you posted is in my opinion disgraceful (not a reflection on you posting it), That article is in a Science journal and the headline is "**Antivaccine activists** use a government database on side effects to s**care the public**". That is not science, that is politics. You can see that that information (VAERS data) is valid and worth considering without being an antivaxxer and disseminating information is hardly "scaring the public". It is information to be looked at critically. You asked the right questions (what percentage of people that were vaccinated does that represent vs other years/vaccines) and that is the right thing to do. Look at the data, critically assess it and utilise it accordingly. For most the way information is assessed is, "who's narrative does this best suit and I'll ignore it accordingly".
For what its worth, its worth learning to find and read scientific articles. That is where some truth can be found.
Vaccination is a health issue but it's also an economic issue. Full economic recovery is dependent upon broad-based immunity. Any disinformation in relation to the safety of our vaccination program is an attack on our economic well being.
Of course, but I'd respectfully suggest to you that I have not provided any disinformation, only information. Information is becoming increasingly important and increasingly guarded and suppressed. What if there was a safer, cheaper, easier as effective alternative to vaccines?

What if clinical trials have been done in Germany and actual confidentail Pfizer data obtained by Japanese Government under FOIA showing that the S1 unit spike protein in vaccines is pathogenic and is being concentrated in the bone marrow and ovaries of people who have had the vaccines? (to be more accurate the Pfizer data shows the lipid capsule that contains the S1 unit, not the S1 unit itself)

The population of the US is 328M, 616920 people have died of Covid 19 which is 0.0019% (of course the case mortality rate is around 1%)
Based on the VAERS data and the CDC there have been 310M doses of the vaccine and 5343 deaths after the vaccine (no causal link). This represents 0.0017% however if you assume that they all got two doses (of course not everyone will have gotten the second dose yet but how else do you do the maths?), then this is 155M people and the 5343 deaths represents 0.003%. That is 1 death per 30,000 people vaccinated. Yes there is no causal link but the data exists.
Again, I am NOT antivaxx. I am fully vaccinated except for Covid and so are my kids. This vaccine has not been researched, tested, approved or manufactured like ANY vaccine before it and as a result IMO it should not be blindly trusted like previous. There is a lot of actual scientific data coming out that this vaccine is not doing what it was expected to do.
