VAERS numbers through the end of 2022: 16,000 deaths in the US, 73,000 hospitalizations, 6,000 struck with Bell's Palsy, 1,800 miscarriages, 6,000+ heart attacks

Through the end of 2022, VAERS shows reports of 16,155 deaths for the United States and U.S. territories, and 73,469 hospitalizations following the Covid-19 vaccines.

It also shows a stunning 180,512 doctor’s office visits, more than 6,000 cases of Bell’s Palsy, 1,830 miscarriages, 4,758 cases of either myocarditis or pericarditis and 6,449 heart attacks.

VAERS is an acronym for the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting system, which is administered jointly by the CDC and the FDA.

VAERS is known as the nation’s early warning system for problems with vaccines. It has been operational since 1990, having been developed in compliance with the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which gave vaccine manufacturers legal immunity for injuries and deaths caused by vaccines.

Congress required that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services use VAERS to monitor the safety of vaccines after they’d already begun to be administered.

The objectives for the VAERS system, are as follows, as listed on the VAERS website:

Objectives of VAERS

The primary objectives of VAERS are to:

• Detect new, unusual, or rare vaccine adverse events;

• Monitor increases in known adverse events;

• Identify potential patient risk factors for particular types of adverse events;

• Assess the safety of newly licensed vaccines;

• Determine and address possible reporting clusters (e.g., suspected localized [temporally or geographically] or product-/batch-/lot-specific adverse event reporting);

• Recognize persistent safe-use problems and administration errors;

• Provide a national safety monitoring system that extends to the entire general population for response to public health emergencies, such as a large-scale pandemic influenza vaccination program.
