It really is not "trivially accounted for" in this manner. The flu is an annual thing that most people are coping well with mentally. Can't quite say the same about the latest pandemic, and people's attitudes and beliefs are going to significantly colour the amount and nature of the self-reporting system.
- AndrewBissell 5y agoThose are separate concerns from the age/demographic ones I was addressing. I could see what you raise driving some difference in the rates of reporting to VAERS. I could not see it driving a difference of, say, zero "Death + Life Threatening" reports for influenza vaccines in 2020 versus 2,857 "Death + Life Threatening" reports for Covid vaccines in 2021 for the 18-59 age group.
