VAERS: 72 deaths in 2 days after vaccination, 50-64 years. Is that a lot?

In the Netherlands, the data are about reports of deaths after/due to vaccinations not just available. Still, I would like to be able to judge how worrisome those stories actually are. So I resorted to VAERS. VAERS stands for The CDC's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System: the system that tracks REPORTS of POSSIBLE side effects, for all of America. So those are certainly not always vaccine-induced side effects or deaths. They are only reports from the field, by general practitioners, etc. Let's see how it goes there.

You can turn any death into an antivax horror story and that's absolutely not my intention. However, I do want to have something of a frame of reference for when possible (dis)information comes along on TV or in the newspaper. Leaving things undiscussed feeds the fantasy – and the fear.

Searching in the VAERS database is not easy so I share a report here, then you can read the reports.

The selection I have made is as follows:

• Alone Deaths (so no serious side effects, etc.)
• Only from Americans aged 50-64. The next category is 65+, which includes a lot of hospice reports, etc., so that is even more difficult to interpret.
• Within two days of vaccination died (i.e. three days: the same day, 1 day or two days after.)

This yields 75 results. A number of them are explicitly reported as unlikely to be vaccine-related, but reported anyway just to be sure. So are there too many? On the contrary, there are far too few. Take a look at one of my famous beer mat calculations.

First get a feel for the averages:

• In that 50-65 age group, we are talking about a total of 43 million Americans. Source
• About 7.5 million of them die every 5 years. That is 1.5 million per year, about 4000 per day: 0.009% of the total 43 million. (A total of 7,700 Americans die every day, so that doesn't sound surprising.)
• Every three days, that is 0.028% of that population. Of course there are mortality peaks, etc., but they don't matter right now, we look at the averages of the average expected mortality.

Then the vaccinated:

• There are 14 million Americans in this age group vaccinated. Source So you should expect 0.028% to die within three days after that.
• So 3906 people between the ages of 50-64 would have to die within three (actually two) days after the jab.
• Of these, only 72 are registered as potentially vaccine-related.

So 72 is not much at all. But it does stimulate the imagination... Namely:

If it comes on top of normal mortality, that would mean an increase of 1.5%. That is a lot. But yes, is that true? If you don't register it properly, you will never find out.

So about 3,800 people died a few days after the vaccination and simply did not report. Isn't that strange?

Maybe those 3831 were already in very bad shape... Or were they traffic accidents or other obviously unrelated causes of death, who knows. Many heart failures are suspected, which is the first cause of death in America (23% of all deaths). Heart failure also regularly recurs in the VAERS reports as the last symptom. If the body reacts violently, a weak heart will not help.

In any case, it seems that the vast majority of post-vaccination deaths are not reported. There is apparently no obligation to report whether or not someone has been vaccinated a few days before death. If that had been the case, you would have been able to compare that data with the normal values a bit better.

Another question: why did the 72 report and the other 3831 not?

If you read the descriptions, you see quite a few "lousy in the morning, dead in the afternoon"-like reports, also from previously healthy people who did not suffer in the fifteen minutes after the shot. A few collapse in the parking lot. After two days you often see complaints of nausea, shortness of breath, symptoms that indicate heart problems (pain in shoulder/arm), diarrhea – and a little later nothing helps anymore. Do people in this age group often die in this way? I honestly don't know but again, I don't really feel comfortable with it. Could I have proper information about this please, instead of reassuring promises or fearful threats?

And if you know, then what?

In any case, this raises the question of what the accepted risk of vaccinations is and to what extent this outweighs the risk of dying from the disease against which vaccination is being given. I've read something about that but it never seems to be properly quantified. Last year I got the impression that this is being directed off the cuff on the basis of authority arguments.

If I add to that the stories about strong suspicions of vaccine-induced death while it is not mentioned as such, on the advice of a GGD doctor, for example, I get an uncomfortable feeling again. The best-known story is that of general practitioner Bart van Tienen, who cautiously expressed his concerns: "I believe that the vaccine has played a major role. The GGD doctor determined by telephone that there was a natural death. These were known side effects and the constitution of that patient was apparently too weak to withstand them. That is a natural death." See also this interview on youtube.

Informed Consent

A friend of mine in Amsterdam is currently at home with corona. Is sick (headache, etc.) and PCR positive. She asked a GGD employee whether a vaccination still made sense. The GGD employee absolutely said so, because natural immunity only offers protection for 8 weeks and a vaccination much longer. Pierre Capel, Geert Vanden Bossche and many other top immunologists, virologists and epidemiologists strongly disagree... Immunity depends on the mutation rate of a virus; A disease that has been experienced covers a much broader spectrum than a specific vaccine.

We have something to think about again.
