Vaccine adverse events and injuries: Is the risk one in a million? 👉🏻 The CDC states that 30,000 adverse events are reported to VAERS each year. 👉🏻 A report funded by the Department of Health & Human Services states that less than 1% of vaccine adverse events are ever reported to VAERS. This is 3 million or more adverse events that occur within 30 days following vaccination that *should* be reported to VAERS, each year. 👉🏻 287 million doses of vaccines are administered on average each year. 3 million adverse events out of 287 million doses, is a risk of adverse events near 1 in 100. 1 adverse event per 100 doses of vaccines administered. Not, one in a million. 👉🏻 Considering the fact that by the time they’re 18, children are given 72 doses of vaccines, assuming the vast majority of vaccines given in the US are given to kids under 18, that is a HIGH likelihood that your child will experience an adverse event (mild to severe), but most will have no idea that their child’s injury or reaction is vaccine-related. ——————— Sources: 30,000 reports to VAERS each year*: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/ensuringsafety/monitoring/vaers/index.html Report funded by the HHS stating less than 1% of all vaccine adverse events are reported to VAERS, due to lack of clinician awareness of adverse events being vaccine-related: https://healthit.ahrq.gov/sites/default/files/docs/publication/r18hs017045-lazarus-final-report-2011.pdf VICP payout and number of vaccine doses administered: https://www.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/hrsa/vaccine-compensation/data/monthly-stats-february-2019.pdf ——————— *It is stated by the CDC that serious adverse events are more likely to be reported to VAERS, than mild ones. I’d like to address this claim. (1) Where’s the data? (2) Mild adverse events occurring at the injection site are widely accepted and well-known to be caused by vaccination, such as fever, crying, irritability, diarrhea, nausea, etc. are much more likely to be recognized as vaccine-related by medical professionals, parents, and patients, and therefore more likely to be reported to VAERS. (3) Aside from immediate events such as anaphylactic reactions, an unknown percentage of serious adverse events are not likely to be reported to VAERS. Serious adverse events which occur 1-3 weeks post-vaccination, 1-2 months later (e.g. thrombocytopenia, POTS), or other autoimmune disorders which develop several months or years post-vaccination, are much, much less likely to be recognized as vaccine-related and therefore less likely to be reported, due to the fact that these injuries are latent and do not immediately manifest in outward symptoms. Medical professionals and parents are largely unaware that there are a wide variety of serious adverse events which can and do occur weeks to months or even years post-vaccination. Practitioners are generally unaware that vaccination has been linked to the development of autoimmune disease. (4) CDC Vaccine Information Statements (VISs) given to patients and parents list only a small fraction of the potential moderate and severe adverse events which can occur post-vaccination. Doctors are not required to read vaccine package inserts or give them to parents or patients, which typically include long lists of adverse events reported to occur post-vaccination. Adverse events are required to be listed only if there is reason to believe they may be associated with vaccines. (5) The HHS-funded report that determined less than 1% of adverse events are reported to VAERS accounted for events that occurred 30 days or less post-vaccination. This excludes a significant portion of vaccine-related injuries which manifest after 30 days. 👉🏻 THEREFORE, it is more likely that latent, serious adverse events following vaccines which manifest weeks, months, or years later, are much less likely to be reported to VAERS than well-recognized mild events. —————— Sources: Description of VAERS project funded by HHS describing that they included only those events which occurred within 30 days of receipt of vaccines: https://healthit.ahrq.gov/ahrq-funded-projects/electronic-support-public-health-vaccine-adverse-event-reporting-system/annual-summary/2010 VICP vaccine injury table cites injuries which can occur 42 days post-vaccination (e.g. GBS from flu vaccines): https://www.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/vaccinecompensation/vaccineinjurytable.pdf Thrombocytopenia can develop 2 months post-MMR vaccination, and vaccine virus replication does not occur until 1-2 weeks post-vaccination: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/pdf/rr/rr4512.pdf 14 year old develops POTS 2 months post-HPV vaccination: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4528866/ Case report of rheumatoid arthritis manifesting 7 months post-vaccination: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/art.10666 300 cases of autoimmunity following aluminum-containing vaccines, each case confirmed by experts: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28741088/ Autoimmune disease can develop with long-term persistence of aluminum injected intramuscularly via vaccine, eventually causing systemic symptoms, which can take 3-96 months (8 years) to manifest.
