Almost 1.5 Million COVID Vaccine Injuries Reported to VAERS as CDC Purges Safety Signal Data

The latest data from Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was released this morning and is nothing short of expected. There are more deaths and injuries reported to the system and more deleted reports U.S. regulatory agencies didn’t want you to see. Perhaps this has something to do with a grand jury investigation announced by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, but this is pure speculation.

According to VAERS, 1,490,160 reports of adverse events were reported following COVID-19 between Dec. 14, 2020, and Dec. 23, 2022, including 33,334 reports of deaths and 273,051 serious injuries. Of the 33,334 reported deaths, 21,016 cases are attributed to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, 9,271 to Moderna, 2,882 to Johnson & Johnson, and 0 to Novavax. Of the reported deaths, 9% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, and 13% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination.

VAERS is a voluntary reporting system co-managed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and CDC designed to detect vaccine safety signals. The data released is usually one week behind, so data released on Dec. 29, 2022, would include reports up to Dec. 23, 2022.

VAERS is estimated to represent only 1% of actual adverse events. Reports submitted require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed; however, U.S. regulatory agencies neither properly investigate nor acknowledge causal relationships between adverse events and COVID-19 vaccines.

Excluding “foreign reports” to VAERS, 915,411 adverse events, including 16,155 deaths and 96,762 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020, and Dec. 23, 2022.

Foreign reports are reports from foreign subsidiaries sent to U.S. vaccine manufacturers. Under FDA regulations, if a manufacturer is notified of a foreign case report describing an event that is both serious and does not appear on the product’s labeling, the manufacturer must submit the report to VAERS. As of Nov. 18, 2022, VAERS stopped putting free text field information in the public data for Europe and the U.K.

According to OpenVaers, this affects the narrative, foreign data, history, allergies, medications, and lab data related to COVID-19 vaccines. (More on this below.)

In the U.S., 661 million COVID-19 vaccine doses had been given as of Dec. 21, including 395 million doses of Pfizer, 248 million doses of Moderna, 19 million doses of Johnson & Johnson, and 67,000 doses of Novavax.

Bivalent Booster Data

As of Dec. 28, 47 million people received an untested, updated bivalent booster dose targeting the no-longer-existing Wuhan strain and obsolete BA.4/BA.5 omicron subvariants.

There are 14,021 reports of adverse events attributed to the bivalent boosters, with 43% attributed to Moderna’s booster and 57% attributed to Pfizer/BioNTech. The data included 117 deaths, 903 serious injuries, and 44 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation).

Note: The CDC uses a narrowed case definition of “myocarditis,” which allows them to exclude cases of cardiac arrest, ischemic strokes, and deaths due to heart problems that occur before one has the chance to go to the hospital, obtain a diagnosis, or “dies suddenly.”

To meet the case definition of myocarditis, people must have had “symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath and feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering or pounding heart, and medical tests to support the diagnosis of myocarditis and rule out other causes.”

The CDC website does not state what happens to these cases, but there is no indication they are tracked or included in the CDC’s myocarditis numbers.

Data for 6-month-olds to 5-year-olds

• 5,325 adverse events, including 216 cases rated as serious and 12 reported deaths.

• 5 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis.

• 32 reports of blood clotting disorders.

• 54 reports of seizures.

Data for 5- to 11-year-olds

• 16,230 adverse events, including 737 rated as serious and 33 reported deaths.

• 48 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis.

• 74 reports of blood clotting disorders.

• 191 reports of seizures.

Data for 12- to 17-year-olds

• 40,790 adverse events, including 4,446 rated as serious and 132 reported deaths. (Reported deaths DECREASED from data released a week ago.)

• 272 reports of anaphylaxis among 12- to 17-year-olds where the reaction was life-threatening, required treatment, or resulted in death.

• 1,341 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis, with 1,174 cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine. (Reports of myocarditis also DECREASED from data released a week ago.)

• 306 reports of blood clotting disorders, with 280 cases attributed to Pfizer.

• 28 cases of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), with all cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.

Data for all age groups to VAERS

• 16% of deaths were related to cardiac disorders.

• 53% of those who died were male, and 41% were female. The remaining death reports do not list the gender of the deceased.

• The average age of death was 72.

• As of Dec. 23, 8,836 pregnant women reported adverse events related to COVID-19 vaccines, including 5,126 reports of miscarriage or premature birth.

• Of the 16,880 cases of Bell’s palsy reported, 73% were attributed to Pfizer vaccinations, 22% to Moderna, and 5% to J&J.

• 3,154 reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome.

• 10,236 reports of anaphylaxis where the reaction was life-threatening, required treatment or resulted in death.

• 8,201 reports of myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest.

• 44,880 reports of blood-clotting disorders. Of those, 30,769 reports were attributed to Pfizer, 10,146 reports to Moderna, and 3,888 reports to Johnson & Johnson.

• 24,958 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis, with 18,911 cases attributed to Pfizer, 5,557 cases to Moderna, and 431 to Johnson & Johnson.

• 75 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, with 61 cases attributed to Pfizer, 12 to Moderna, and 2 to J&J.

• 617 cases of POTS, with 451 cases attributed to Pfizer, 143 cases to Moderna, and 22 cases to Johnson & Johnson.

Although healthcare providers are required by law to report vaccine adverse events to VAERS, they rarely do, which is why it’s essential that anyone who experiences an adverse event reports their own injury.

CDC recently purged thousands of reports from VAERS to undermine obvious safety signals

According to epidemiologist Dr. Jessica Rose, more than 15,128 reports of myocarditis were recently purged by the CDC from VAERS data after European regulators ordered the deletion of free text (i.e., SYMPTOM_TEXT) from many variable fields of the reports. This gutted 15% of the total myocarditis reports using a limited query for “myocarditis and pericarditis.”

In addition, 1,023 people who had “death” written into their SYMPTOM_TEXT fields subsequently had their data deleted. At least 648 (63.3%) deaths were not properly documented as deaths per MedDRA codes, which means they don’t show up as a matter of course when making a simple MedDRA inquiry for fatalities.

The same occurred with pulmonary embolisms (blood clots in the lungs). Of the 733 people with “pulmonary embolism” in the SYMPTOM_TEXT fields, 236 (32.2%) reports were not properly documented per MedDRA codes and disappeared with the purge.

Of the 391 people with “neuropathy” written in the SYMPTOM_TEXT fields, 159 (40.7%) reports were not properly documented as neuropathies per MedDRA codes and disappeared with the purge.

Rose said that although she likes to presume innocence until proven guilty, these actions appear to be an intentional and willful act carried out by European regulators, the CDC, and FDA to remove specific data that would undermine safety signals.
