This is not coming from me btw.
VAERS is not designed to assess cause and effect, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event (AE) or illness. Some reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. Most reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to bias. Data from VAERS reports should be interpreted with these limitations in mind.
VAERS reporting can be done by anyone: Vaccine providers, other health care professionals, local public health agencies, vaccine recipients, patients, and/or family members of people who have received a vaccine are encouraged to submit a VAERS report when an adverse event occurs after vaccination.
Seems pretty clear to me. Not sure how you can sit there and say that this is a reliable data source. This may help detect certain issues and patterns, but it's not a data source in which you can call a source of truth. Someone would need to further investigate each report to make a better determination.
You say it's against the law to make false statements, but this doesn't matter when there is no control and these statements can be made with complete bias. It's not that people are lying, they believe what they are saying, but it doesn't mean the information is actually true.
There are plenty of other studies around vaccines that show the risks like you mentioned, but they also show that the benefits far outweigh the downside. I don't even know why politics has anything to do with this. We are talking about facts and science and I don't understand how politics has anything to do with this.
I honestly don't even understand what you are even arguing for. You just sound like an old guy yelling at the kids to get off his lawn.
Hi friend,
"VAERS is not designed to assess cause and effect, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event (AE) or illness. Some reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. Most reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to bias.

Did you even try to read my claims? I never claimed this.
My claim: Government did an observational study where they designated a Vaccine Committee and which looked at the first two years of data and then, the government designated a vaccine satey committee and then they went through the data and sorted and still found examples where they begrudgingly admitted some connection regarding safety.
Again, I ask you, is your claim the source is useless? Yes or No? If is is useless then why are you, if American paying for it? Is your claim that VAERS is then all smoke and mirrors?
So which one is it? Is VAERS next to useless, so why does big pharma and taxes pay for it for about 35 years? Or it is useful once the data is parsed and thus can in fact show us vaccine injuries? You can't have both narratives exist. The study I showed was Government sactioned so are the Feds lying? Which one is it?
When they say "anyone," they do not mean, anons, you have to enter some medical info. You could be a rand9m pereon bit you have to enter a Doctor or some medical proffessionals persons name/ID. It is not like a random lottery. Have you actually try to fill a form and upload it to the HHS? Please. Try. Stop reading this and GO fill a fake report. There is nothing to lose, as you say. Go, do it. Let us know once you have downloaded the PDF filled it up and uploaded it back. We will all wait.
If someone enters bad info and lies, but add no Medical ID or Doctor's into, etc then they just ignore the data point. Easy come, easy go. You clearly have never worked with any databases of this type. Obviously. To say there is no or 0 control is outstanding and I cannot believed you think that would fly. Logically.
Do you even understand what you are copy/pasting? When they say "VAERS" alone they mean using the RAW data. Cool. I literally stated that before, Data needs to be sorted -- AKA: Investigated before you can use it. I did say that and I did state that people DID that in the study I posted. Like, you are not really reading or understanding what I am say? Honestly asking, is English your first language? It is not mine, bit I think I am being clear enough. Yes, friends, the reports DO get investigated. It takes a wild and we can question how well they investigate those entries and hiwnfast, butbthey do. Science is not magic.
Politics in general and in my mind should not have anything to do with vaccines or Science, in general. But in the real world, they do, because people are attention monkeys l, Left or Right or UP and Dow. and there is money and ego and voting power involved via PR, so it js. A sad reality of the world. I wish politics had nothing to do with it. That would be ideal. I'm my opinion.
I can tell for a fact now that you actually do not read Vaccine Studies cover to cover. At the risk of sounding bad, I do not just abstracts or conclusions. And if you actually read any studies in general then you know that there is plenty of room for a lot of questions and an unreasonable level of lies by omission.
A point here, is how off you are about VAERS and how you push so-called pro-vaxxie misinformation, not so much different than anit-vaxxers in zest that only harms actual scientific discussions, because you parrot things without fully understanding the nuances involved.
