Vaccine injuries happen more than we realize, or are told about.

Vaccine injuries are not rare; they are just rarely reported. According to a 2011 HHS funded study, less than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. One reason why adverse reactions are rarely reported is because VAERS, or Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, is a passive surveillance system. It requires doctors (nurses, pharmacists) and/or patients to submit these reactions, and many aren’t aware of VAERS.

It’s required by law that doctors report certain severe adverse events and deaths post-vaccination to VAERS, but it’s not enforced, and they often don’t do it.

SIDS, for example, is not required to be reported to VAERS, despite the fact that an excess of deaths in otherwise healthy infants do occur shortly after vaccination.

According to a 2013 survey published in the journal Vaccine, only 17% of health care providers surveyed had ever reported to VAERS, despite 37% of health care providers identifying at least one adverse event following immunization. An astonishing 29% of health care providers surveyed had never even heard of VAERS.

Please help share these testimonies, so that together we can prevent vaccine injuries.
