The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System contains over 2 million reports including 38,000+ deaths. The CDC says the data "cannot be used to determine causality." Look at it anyway.

VAERS - the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System - is jointly run by the CDC and FDA. By law, healthcare providers must report adverse events that occur after vaccination. The data is then aggregated and made publicly available.
As of 2026 the database contains:
- Over 2,000,000 total reports
- 38,000+ reported deaths
- 200,000+ reports of life-threatening events
- 180,000+ reports of permanent disability
The CDC includes a prominent disclaimer that the data "cannot be used to determine causality." This is technically true. It is also true that:
- A landmark 2010 Harvard Pilgrim Health Care study (funded by HHS) found that fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are ever reported to VAERS. The actual numbers are at least 100x larger.
- The CDC's own promised follow-up study to confirm the under-reporting rate was never conducted.
- The Department of Justice's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has paid out over $5 billion in damages to injured parties since 1989. You don't pay $5 billion for events that "cannot be linked" to vaccines.
