VAERS is tracking the following:

17,128 DEATHS

83,412 HOSPITALIZATIONS

92,017 URGENT CARE

127,641 DOCTOR OFFICE VISITS

7,532 ANAPHYLAXIS

10,179 BELL'S PALSY

2,631 Miscarriages

8,408 Heart Attacks

10,304 Myocarditis/Pericarditis

26,199 Permanently Disabled

3,875 Thrombocytopenia/Low Platelet

18,925 Life Threatening

31,753 Severe Allergic Reaction

9,734 Shingles

2,631 Miscarriage

15,158 Menstrual Disorders

5,401 Vaginal/Uterine Haemorrhage (All Ages)

The key question about VAERS data is, how bad is the under-reporting of side effects? The allegations of under-reporting ratios are all over the place, from as low as 1 to 3 undercount, to as bad as 1 to 100 undercount.

We really don't know how bad the situation is, or isn't. We just know there are side effects and some of them are non-trivial.
