This type of misleading reporting is extraordinarily irresponsible. It makes me sick that this sort of stuff is still going on, honestly.
Trying to hijack our democratic process with lies about electoral fraud wasn't enough, now anti-establishment fly-by-night websites are springing up to help propagate lies about pandemic vaccination safety too. All while our country is mired in a pandemic and trying to undertake the biggest and most necessary vaccination effort in world history. It's disgusting.
No, 501 deaths, birth defects and other permanent disabilities are not being ascribed to the vaccine.
A very high percentage of these deaths occurred in long-term care facilities, in patients with already-tenuous health, and when compared to the number of deaths that might be expected over the same period due to natural causes, the vaccinated population had fewer deaths than expected. In those deaths that have been studied, the vaccine DID NOT cause the deaths.
I'm not trying to single you out Cary; we all share this responsibility. Please, please, please dig into what you read on these non-mainstream sites before posting it publicly. That's a shared responsibility of all of us.
Thanks for your post Civilized and I 100% agree with what you said. Here is some additional detail for people to know about the data being reported, directly from the VAERS website:
"VAERS is
a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences to CDC and FDA. VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine. This way, VAERS can provide CDC and FDA with valuable information that additional work and evaluation is necessary to further assess a possible safety concern."
VAERS is basically, self-reported and unverified data. Key point in the quote from the website:
"VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem..."Until any of the self-reported data is checked, verified, and analyzed, it is basically "garbage in, is garbage out." The data does not originate from the CDC or the FDA. It is self-reported data by anyone with access to the system and is only used by the CDC or FDA after it has been full verified as accurate and based on science.
The credibility of the data reported is very suspect to me, considering it is showing 12 reports of birth defects. Someone needs to explain to me how a vaccine, approved for use in mid-December caused birth defects in people who likely never received the vaccine. The deaths reported are completely out of line with scientifically collected data during extensive vaccine trials (ie., no deaths from people who received the actual vaccine, only from those receiving the placebo). I find it extremely hard to believe these trials missed deaths to the magnitude reported by the linked article.
By the way, I am not attacking anyone personally for posting the information. I just have a very low tolerance for the article and the way it is being used by some people to dissuade people from getting the vaccine. I had a rather difficult discussion with one of my father's care givers on Thursday afternoon on this very report. She does not think he needs to get the vaccine and is trying to talk him out of it. He is 86 years old with significant health issues and the fact she is using crap like this (she sent me the link to this very article) to try and change his mind is a big problem. If she wants to believe this junk (and that's exactly what it is), fine. But do not use it to try and tell anyone to not get the vaccine.
