So... The problem with the VAERS data is anyone can submit a "report", see here https://vaers.hhs.gov/esub/index.jsp https://vaers.hhs.gov/esub/index.jsp. I find it hard to believe that the antivax nut jobs aren't flooding the system with made up horror stories to further reinforce their "vaccines are deadly" delusion.

On the bottom it says "Warning: Knowingly filing a false VAERS report with the intent to mislead the Department of Health and Human Services is a violation of Federal law (18 U.S. Code § 1001) punishable by fine and imprisonment.". I wonder if they check it, I mean, after all, you do have to provide all your details (name, street address, phone, etc.) and they probably filter out obviously bogus ones. It also says that "[...] has been estimated to account for only 1% (see the Lazarus Report) of vaccine injuries". Of course 99% could be mild, but a higher % could be deaths. Welp.
