Original Note:
VAERS is a starting point, not the final verdict. CDC & FDA decide if there is a safety issue. Steve Kirsch, a former tech entrepreneur, lacks any medical training.

His claims have no scientific consensus. https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/testimony-by-steve-kirsch-on-the-alleged-harms-of-vaccination-relies-on-flawed-biased-analyses/ https://www.factcheck.org/2024/02/scicheck-review-article-by-misinformation-spreaders-misleads-about-mrna-covid-19-vaccines/ https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/activist-misuses-federal-data-to-make-false-claim-that-covid-vaccines-killed-676000/ https://www.factcheck.org/person/steve-kirsch/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/list/?category=&ruling=pants-fire&speaker=steve-kirsch https://healthfeedback.org/authors/steve-kirsch/ https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking/steve-kirsch-and-seduction-simplicity https://www.npr.org/2023/05/04/1173697394/as-the-pandemic-winds-down-anti-vaccine-activists-are-building-a-legal-network
