The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), is the principal government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U. S., but is known to vastly under-report vaccine-related deaths and adverse effects by a factor estimated to be 41 to 100. New data has been released showing a total of 1,103,893 reports of adverse events following COVID vaccines were submitted between December 14, 2020, and February 4, 2022. There was a total of 23,615 reports of deaths — an increase of 466 over last week — and 188,135 reports of serious injuries, including deaths, during the same period — up 4,824 compared with the previous week.
