Hoax report submitted to VAERS

Covid-19 vaccine skeptics are exploiting official data to undermine confidence in the shots, misrepresenting statistics from a US government-run database as evidence that the doses are routinely killing Americans.

In an especially egregious case, a report submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) said that a two-year-old girl died in the state of Virginia less than a week after receiving a Pfizer-BioNTech shot.

The report spread on social media, and an article claimed the death came during "vaccine experiments on children."

But the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told AFP the report was "completely made up," with a professional athlete listed as the patient and a world leader's name used for the person who reported the incident.

The names did not appear in the public version of the report, and by the time it was removed from VAERS, the damage was already done.

That's what happens when anyone can submit a report.

This is exactly the way the CDC set up VAERS. Any fraud is because they wanted to be able to question the evidence. They had the opportunity 10 years ago to automate this entire process so that the reports would be high percentage of total number of reports, and no one could game the system. But, they refused the opportunity to do it. They stopped all communication with the medical school that they commissioned to study the efficacy of the VAERS system knowing that it was extremely faulty and inaccurate. The medical school was to improve the system but the CDC refused their calls and stopped all communication between the school and their own agents.

Your, so called evidence, and CDC's supposed anxiety about the accuracy of the database are nothing but disinformation.

Like a robot, perhaps?
