"If we look into COVID19 Deaths in the VAERS dataset there are only 4,946 deaths associated with the COVID19 vaccines. "

After seeing ridiculous things like lacerations and gunshot wounds and herpes being loosely associated with a "vaccine injury" I no longer believe anything in VAERS. Anybody can submit data, and it seems like it's now just a tool for unhinged anti-vaccine types to try to use to manipulate others.

garbage in, garbage out.

Except it’s mostly physicians inserting the data. If you compare to prior years you can see a 1000x increase in deaths... it’s a crime to submit a false report and presumably the anti-vaccine crowd would have always posted BS results.

I think you’re being ridiculously dismissive. That system has been used for decades to track at this point.

Unfortunately, it’s the best we have. Ideally, the vaccine of a phase 3 trial for a new drug platform (ie mRNA vaccines) would at least have a good mechanism for reporting. Unfortunately vaers is the only public record we have.
