Bad VAERS Takes

VAERS subtweets and snark - exposing how the system is supposed to work. Known to underreport by 90% of bad VAERS takes. Submissions welcome - just @ me

@RxRegA Hi. I’d recommend looking at my pinned tweets. Respectfully, this is analogous to flat earth.

Hi Jessica…VAERS is not the well of facts you think it is. These data are not verified and should not be used to determine causality.

[Jessica Adams @RxRegA]

I woke up still thinking about this chart showing 7 pediatric deaths attributed as possibly or probably related to COVID vaccination in the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations release of FDA-reviewed VAERS cases.

I wonder what went into the agency’s thinking about labeling and risk communication here. The benefit-risk calculus in this age group is different and may possibly vary depending on underlying risk factors and baseline COVID risk, which is the labeled indication.

At the same time, these vaccines remain widely available in practice. So if FDA reviewers classified even a very small number of pediatric deaths as possible/probable after case-level review, why wasn’t that considered sufficient to better inform the public about a potential very rare but fatal risk?

@WhiteRosePub24 @jakescottMD Please, cite your sources.

[Bad VAERS Takes @badvaers]

@occupiesajob I’m more upset that I misspelled “cite.” At this point you’d think I’d figure it out.

Green, might I suggest reviewing my pinned tweet? I would also encourage you to cite (correctly spelled) your 7-10x claim.

Either or both Becky or Toby blocked me and I am unable to reply. My snark tells me they don’t like facts.

[Bad VAERS Takes @badvaers]

@WhiteRosePub24 @jakescottMD Guilty on the snark. But VAERS (backed by VSD) did catch real signals that led to policy changes. You keep saying safety concerns are 'ignored' - give me an example with evidence.

[Bad VAERS Takes @badvaers]

@BeckyJohnson222 @rdrosenbaum @SageblogOrg @uTobian 1. No. VAERS timestamps everything..nice try though.
2. The '1%' stat is for sore arms, not deaths. You're off by ~20x.
3. 'Maybe cancer in years!' isn't data..it's fanfiction. 4 years, billions of doses, zero population signal. Got actual evidence or just vibes?

@HiddenPinky @navydoc201 I bet you can buy one. Imagine the money flowing into that grift

Chat…Julie is certified (by someone…). We need to disengage and stop explaining how data works.

🚨 In preparation for the California Gubernatorial Forum January 10th, candidates should review and understand VAERS. I am certified with National Vaccine Information Center @NVICAdvocacy @NVICLoeDown and pulled this information.

97,268 Californian's submitted injury report for COVID shot.
756 dead including 84 from pharmacy and 86 at senior living facility
72,460 reports for all other vaccines
435 dead including 168 <6 mo old

@marten_damien @RobSchneider VAERS reports are elevated, and 670M+ doses in 2 years with mandatory reporting explains much of it. VSD analysis confirmed rare risks (myocarditis, TTS) that were communicated. What specific signals do you think systematic review missed?

We simply follow the numbers and contextualize where and how info is collected. Vax safety is one of the most comprehensive systems we have. The US leads the world in how it collects and reports vaccine safety data. If there’s a problem, we would know

@WhiteRosePub24 @jakescottMD Straw man, ad hominem, red herring. Ignored 30+ international studies with "but funding tho" then retreated to VAERS misconceptions. Adorable.

[Bad VAERS Takes @badvaers]

@marten_damien @RobSchneider Multiple logical fallacies here:
1. False Dichotomy
2. Straw man
3. Appeal to extremes
4. Credential assertion
5. Loaded question
At no point did you address my actual criticism: that VAERS requires corroborating data sources to establish causality.

@Jb1983whizzle @jengleruk @han_francis @DrJMarine @drjohnm Assuming this is true…Michelle Mello had every opportunity and ability to submit to VAERS theirself.

@occupiesajob 7-10x site your source.

@Abad0n989 @BSmithBenS Which “VAERS report” did you read?

[Bad VAERS Takes @badvaers]

@marten_damien @RobSchneider And, yet, you still misunderstand VAERS. Data in and of itself does not indicate anything. Taken with other data sources (VSD for instance) can indicate causality.
