That data explicitly says it is not to be used directly for causal analysis of health effects after vaccination.
> What is VEARS? [0][1]
> VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem
> Limitations of VAERS: [2]
> * It is generally not possible to find out from VAERS data if a vaccine caused the adverse event
> Are all adverse events reported to VAERS caused by vaccines? [2]
> No. Some adverse events might be caused by vaccination and others might be coincidental and not related to vaccination. Just because an adverse event happened after a person received a vaccine does not mean the vaccine caused the adverse event.
> VAERS accepts reports of adverse events following vaccination without judging the cause or seriousness of the event. VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused an adverse event, but it is good at detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of reporting that might indicate possible safety problems that need a closer look.
