      This paper was recently published, arguing that vaccines cause as much death as they prevent and so we should stop vaccinating people I rarely say this, but it is truly awful and should be retracted as soon as possible 1/npic.twitter.com/A6vSJsEtn3

      They assumed that reports of adverse events are 100% valid which couldn’t be further from the truth. Anybody who thinks that way should definitely have their study retracted.

      Assuming that's correct, is it not also true that the report of adverse events are vastly underreported in the systems like VAERS?

      Pharmacovigilance literature & senior experts (see Rebecca Chandler from Uppsala Monitoring Centre) for the past decade have repeatedly warned that ADR systems are only capable of picking up a fraction of adverse effects within a population.

      I think there's very little doubt that is true. The question though is if this underreporting is only happening for mild adverse effects, and all serious adverse events are correctly recorded? That's what they claim, but I've seen anecdotal evidence of this not being the case.

      So, some confusion here I think. It's not that every event following immunization is captured for severe events (although they tend to be captured far more often than mild ones), it's that these are always investigated and almost never found to be related to the vaccine

          Of the deaths reported to the system, we would expect somewhere around 1% to be found to be related to the vaccine after investigation, possible less. So using the *reports* of deaths is an enormous overcount, because most of these would not be related to the vaccination

          The problem is that when the entire world depends of the vaccines being safe maybe there's an unwillingness to accept links? For example with Covid deaths the UK reported deaths as dying within 28 deaths of a positive test. Let's do the same with vaccines AND tests and compare?
