VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System)
programBiotech & Transhumanism
The main system for spotting vaccine harm may catch only a tiny fraction of what actually happens.
Who they are
VAERS, the U.S. government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.
What they do
It is a voluntary reporting system, run jointly by the FDA and CDC, that the engine says is known to badly undercount real events.
How it works
Created by a 1986 law, it relies on people choosing to report. Independent analyses comparing regions suggest it may miss about 95% of actual events, capturing only around 1 in 20.
Why it matters
If the reporting system is built in a way that can't reliably detect a real safety problem, then the legal system that depends on it can't act on one either.
The engine's record — word for word
Co-administered by FDA + CDC. Established by 1986 NCVIA. Voluntary reporting mechanism known to suffer severe under-ascertainment bias. Independent vaccine-induced mortality risk (VMR) analyses using regional variation suggest under-ascertainment by factor of 20 (national-average VMR ~0.04% implies VAERS captures ~5% of actual events). The data collection system is structurally incapable of producing the safety signal the legal framework would require to act.
