Where does it say any of that? What distortion? These are reports by people and medical professionals of adverse events after taking one of the available vaccines.
- h2odragon 5y agoRight. As are the case numbers reported on the news and elsewhere. I'm quoting myself to make the point there; that statement is accurate, but it doesn't tell the whole story. see the reports like [1] that expand on how the other numbers also have been taken to mean more than they perhaps should.

- rglover 5y agoThat's a leap, though. I get what you're saying but it's two different things: severity of symptoms is a completely different metric from "they had a heart attack" or "they died." It's also a federal crime to file a false report, so this isn't just the shoe shiner selling stock tips: https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html. If anything, this data might be missing reports (as noted by someone else below).
