The vax safety nuts like to talk about VAERS, which is a self-reporting system for supposed vaccine adverse events. That system is pure bullshit, as almost every one of the events reported are found to have nothing to do with the vaccine at issue. And with CV-19 vaccines, the nuts used fake reports to jam the system with false information. Meanwhile for several decades there has beeen a real monitoring system in place at FDA and CDC, one that uses large claims and electronic medical record databases to surveil drug and vaccine safety in near real-time. You can’t get better or more timely information on real-world usage and events. But the nuts never mention this system because of course it doesn’t in any manner support their wild claims about millions of deaths, etc.
And now RFK, Jr., a notorious liar about vaccine safety, who also profits in the millions from being involved in lawsuits against drug and vaccine companies, is trying to undermine that surveillance system, making up shit about it. Now I have some personal knowledge on this topic because a unit I ran at UnitedHealth Group had one of the first contracts with FDA to do this surveillance. We helped identify some serious drug adverse event issues. The integrity and quality of the work of the group that compiles and analyzes all this data is of the highest level.
Battacharya and Makary have their work cut out for them. I think they are serious scientists. They need to make sure RFK, Jr. doesn’t do what he has always wanted to do and make up research about non-existent harms so he and his pals in the lawsuit injury can keep making money, while children start getting and dying from infectious diseases again. He should stick to making America healthy again and drop the other crap. This article gives more background on the surveillance databases. (MP Story)
How many mandatory-for-public-education vaccinations are required now? It seems odd to me if young babies are being injected with a cocktail of numerous chemicals. I’m an oldster and we received single digit vac’s – I believe the new generation is up to double digits, including one for an std, injected into newborns. It’s hard to ignore the cash cow nature of making injections mandatory by drug companies who hold full immunity.
I would agree that a serious review of the childhood vaccine schedule is in order
Why did the CDC & FDA create such a piece of garbage to do this important work? They’ve contemplated an active system that would be amazing. No, can’t have it. The VSAFE data from Covid shows similar, Kevin. The reports and results are VERY bad. Everything I’VE seen indicates to me the efforts to obscure the truth is what all this nonsense is all about, avoid having a real conversation, name-call some more, pretend the science is settled, etc. THAT’S the bullshit, right there.
I have no idea what you are talking about. There already is an active system in place, been used for decades. There is talk of expanding it to include even more claims and EHR databases, but it already exists and it was used for the CV-19 vax and several studies were published based on that and I reported on those studies when they occurred. there are absolutely no “very bad” results, there is only a bullshit attempt to spread garbage lies.
