Is it true that more than 10,000 people died from vaccines against the Covid-19 vaccines?

In social networks, they disseminate information that the media are silent for the real danger of vaccination, although the corresponding statistics are available. We checked how just such conclusions are.

Users of social networks give various assessments of the “real” mortality from vaccines against the Covid-19, but often their statements come down to the fact that vaccinations not only do not save from coronavirus, but also pose a danger. For example, in July 2021 on Facebook appeared Information about almost 11,000 killed after an injection, in September in VKontakte They said About 13,000. Famous Covidoskeptik and a supporter of conspiracy theories, Professor MGIMO Valentin Katasonov also in September declared About almost 14,000 deaths due to vaccines.

Most authors of such publications refer to the VARS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) - a system of messages about the side effects of vaccines. She was Founded In 1990, in the United States, in order to detect possible problems that vaccine manufacturers have missed at the clinical test stage. The system is jointly guided by the centers for the control and prevention of diseases (CDC) and the sanitary supervision of the quality of food and medicines (FDA) - state institutions of the United States.

On the website Vaers It is saidthat she "accepts and analyzes messages about (possible) side effects after vaccination." Patients can report a side effect voluntarily, while medical workers are required to do this in some cases. In turn, vaccines manufacturers must transmit Vaers all their observations in this area. At the same time, the site emphasizes that the system serves only for the connection of patients and doctors on the one hand and CDC and FDA on the other. Vaers does not determine the relationship between the vaccine and the observed health problem, but only transfers the received messages to the competent authorities.

How Report CDC, from December 14, 2020, when in the USA It has begun Vaccination, on September 27, 2021, Vaers received 8164 reports of the death of Americans vaccinated against coronavirus (this is 0.0021% of the total number of vaccinated). The agency draws attention to the fact that FDA obliges doctors to inform Vaers about each such case, even if death is unambiguously caused by not by the side effect of vaccination, but by another disease. In other words, these people died after vaccination, but not necessarily because of it.

CDC separately Checkthat modern studies, including the analysis of the documents of the dead vaccinated and the autopsy of their bodies, do not allow us to establish a connection between vaccinations and their deaths. Only in the case of a vaccine developed by Janssen, It is known About a rare side effect - the appearance of blood clots that led to the death of three patients.

At the end of September 2021, it began to spread "study", whose authors claimed an even larger scale of "problems." According to Jessica Rose and Matthew Crawford, which are in the initiative group, setting The effectiveness and safety of vaccines, about 150,000 Americans died due to side effects associated with the vaccination from Covid-19. Representatives of FDA They said Reuters, that these data are not confirmed by statistics: “Although insufficient reporting is Vaers restriction as concerning the security monitoring of the COVID-19 vaccine, there is currently no evidence that the system underestimates the number of deaths associated with these vaccines.” The conclusions of Rose and Crawford, as well as Similar "Research", which appeared two weeks earlier, a factor from Reuters Assess Like false.

Thus, at the moment, the United States confirms isolated cases of deaths directly related to the Janssen Covid-19 vaccine. The Vaers side observation system received about 8,000 death messages after vaccination, but there is no reason to say that it was the vaccine that caused the death of patients.
