This video is dumb even by @delbigtree standards. Also, Mr. Bigtree forgets that VAERS is by no means the be-all and end-all of vaccine safety and adverse event monitoring. There are three other systems, all of them, unlike VAERS, active surveillance systems.https://twitter.com/delbigtree/status/1209161320857309185 …

I've been using this link to a Tweetstorm I did a couple of weeks ago on the various vaccine safety monitoring systems because antivaxxers on Twitter seem to be perseverating on the shortcomings of VAERS the last couple of days,https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1203383416001093635?s=20 …

It is also not true that vaccine manufacturers were freed from liability by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. The NCVIA only required that parents go first through the Vaccine Court to seek compensation.

Not that
@delbigtree cares about the three ACTIVE surveillance systems monitoring vaccine safety in addition to VAERS. It suits his purpose to portray VAERS as the be-all and end-all of vaccine safety monitoring because it's a passive reporting system subject to underreporting.3 replies 3 retweets 21 likesShow this thread
Of course, antivaxxers and lawyers have also polluted VAERS by attributing adverse events to vaccination and reporting them when they're not caused by vaccination.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2008/01/18/how-vaccine-litigation-distorts-the-vaer/ …
