More than 10,000 COVID-19-related reports have been deleted from the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), according to Albert Benavides, a data analyst who has been analyzing VAERS data since the COVID-19 vaccines were released for public usage.
The VAERS database is an early warning system maintained by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) used to identify vaccines that might be triggering adverse events at higher than expected rates. Anyone, including health care professionals, vaccine manufacturers, and the general public, can submit a report to VAERS.
