Original Note:
VAERS data is unverified, unadjudicated and therefore unreliable. https://www.factcheck.org/2021/03/scicheck-viral-posts-misuse-vaers-data-to-make-false-claims-about-covid-19-vaccines/ https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-covid19-vaers/fact-check-vaers-data-does-not-prove-over-2000-deaths-due-to-covid-19-vaccines-in-july-2021-idUSL1N2PB2H3 The submission process has been infiltrated by the antivaxx community as well, as no proof of vaccination is needed to submit feedback on VAERS. https://www.politifact.com/article/2021/may/03/vaers-governments-vaccine-safety-database-critical/
