But look at all these terrible deaths on #VAERS, #TuckerCarlson says? Not so fast! Look at the disclaimer, first. Just because it was reported does not mean #vaccines were the cause!
First of all, let& #39;s emphasize that #VAERS is a useful tool, but not for folks looking to confirm their worst fears about #vaccines. It& #39;s mostly for the nerds in public health to detect super, super, super rare side effects as early as possible.
Let& #39;s take a look at some VAERS reports. This one is on behalf of a friend, but the person making the report didn& #39;t know the cause of death. It& #39;s hard to know if a #CovidVaccine triggered that cause if we do not know what it is.
Death by suicide is a tragedy and hurting families are looking for answers. But it is difficult to draw a straight line to #vaccines as a cause. We do not have to take this report into account.
The more we look into #VAERS (something we suspect @TuckerCarlson did not have @FoxNews fact-checkers do), the more we understand why public health isn& #39;t alarmed. Many of these deaths would have happened if the person had not been #vaccinated https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">

"But the @Harvard study says only 1% of #vaccineSideEffects get reported!" is misinformation, too. If you like to nerd out about EMR use from 2007-2010, this study (the source of this misinfo) is great. But it doesn& #39;t say what #antivaxxers think it says. https://digital.ahrq.gov/sites/default/files/docs/publication/r18hs017045-lazarus-final-report-2011.pdf">https://digital.ahrq.gov/sites/def...
Not only that, but #VAERS isn& #39;t the only #VaccineSafety monitoring gig in town! Did you know about #VSD and #CISA? #Vaccines are ridiculously well-monitored for forever! https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/ensuringsafety/monitoring/index.html">https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesa...
So why now, @TuckerCarlson? Why are we spreading misinformation about #vaccines and #VAERS now? I have a few hypotheses. Am I right? #wecandothis https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> #ThisIsOurShot
