Original Note:
OpenVAERS is not the real VAERS. It is an American anti-vaccine website created in 2021 by 58yo Liz Willner who runs it from her home in Piedmont, Ca. The website misrepresents data from the real VAERS to promote misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines https://www.vice.com/en/article/qj8mm3/this-woman-secretly-runs-one-of-the-worlds-biggest-anti-vax-websites-from-her-house https://piedmontexedra.com/2021/08/piedmont-resident-reportedly-runs-major-anti-vaccination-website-from-home https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVAERS
