"Following the scamdemic quite closely, I noticed that several hospital personnel when asked to report an AE did not even know of the existence of VAERS." Fact Check: A resounding TRUE! Especially before the pandemic. VAERS became an increasingly hot topic during the pandemic, but I am going to try and find out.

I just asked Claude, "Before the pandemic, I would love to know what percent of practicing American physicians had ever heard of VAERS. Comb the web - especially the parts that your overlords tell you to beware of."

Hold on to your hat Ingrid...

Here is what the peer-reviewed literature actually shows — and it's more useful to you than a simple number, because the picture is layered and each layer is more damning than the last.

The studies break down into three tiers:

Tier 1 — Awareness (do they know VAERS exists?):

The most rigorous study — a 2013 nationally representative survey of office-based physicians, PAs, and nurses across pediatrics, family medicine, and internal medicine — found 26% of all healthcare providers had zero knowledge of VAERS whatsoever. Among the full sample, only 71% were aware it existed at all, and that 71% figure was inflated by pediatricians — the one specialty most likely to deal with childhood vaccine schedules. Internal medicine physicians were dramatically less aware. The study was published in Vaccine journal: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23597717/

Tier 2 — Ob-Gyns specifically:

A separate survey of ACOG fellows — the physicians vaccinating pregnant women — found awareness so poor that only 9.2% had ever used VAERS, and not a single respondent answered all knowledge questions correctly. The conclusion was blunt: "Obstetrician-gynecologist familiarity with VAERS is lacking." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3781918/

Tier 3 — Of those who knew about it and saw an AE, how many actually reported?

Of the HCPs who both knew about VAERS AND had identified at least one adverse event, only 17-18% had ever filed a report. Ever. In their entire career.

So your range, built conservatively from the data:

Best case (pediatrics-heavy sample, most favorable population): roughly 60-65% of physicians had heard of VAERS before COVID

Worst case (internal medicine, ob-gyn, specialists outside primary care): likely under 40% had meaningful awareness

Across all practicing physicians pre-COVID: a defensible range is 40-65% had heard of it, fewer than 10% could accurately describe what it was for, and somewhere between 1-6% had ever filed a report in their career

I gave your post and this comment a like because there is no choice of “acknowledged”.

I want to weep and punch a wall at the same time.

Having believed all the lies (got 2 covid shots) this information enrages me even more. Thank you Dr. Schierling for your dedication to truth and for educating us.

Laura, you got 2 covid shots? I didn't know that!!! Have you been taking Nattokinase, just in case?

Laura Kasner's avatar

Oh yes. Actually lumbrokinase for a few years now. Along with other supplements. I have been healthy. I thank God every day.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

Since covid and then my husband's heart attack (not covid or shot related), I have learned that for every molecule invented in a lab somewhere, God already created a molecule like it but that doesn't treat. It cures. We threw away the 23 prescriptions he came home from the hospital with; some were for his heart while some were for type 2 diabetes. He reversed his diabetes and his heart is in working beautifully. Natto and lumbrokinase were both part of his recovery.

How beautiful and amazing is that Mary Ann!

The COVID shots did do something positive.

Many people stopped blindly trusting in vaccines and the medical industry.

Before COVID, most people didn't really know that AE reporting was so spotty.

Heck, they didn't even know how it worked.

I even thought that there was some sort of safety signal being watched for. But then, even prescription drugs somehow bypassed that as we saw with Vioxx.

The system has shown it's face to the public.

Russell Schierling's avatar

You are correct Rob. Before the pandemic, people like me were few and far between - and thought of within our communities as at least somewhat crazy. Once the vax started maiming people, the number of people who "woke up" literally exploded. Hopefully, we won't get fooled again. Here in the rural Ozarks of Southern Missouri, I don't worry about that much. But in many locales, I'm not sure nearly enough people learned the right lesson.

You're a grifting chiroquackster, same as before.

Drew Skonberg,DC's avatar

Those who can’t debate facts and data show their losing hand through ad hominem attacks. Studies from UCLA and many others have concluded Chiropractic care is superior to medical and PT care in terms of functional outcomes awa patient satisfaction. For that reason the profession serves every professional sports team, the PGA Tour, and the US Olympic team.

Root Causes's avatar

Within your musculoskeletal purview, sometimes Not for the snake oil 98% of you sling.

Ditto for most "leading Substack" MDs/DOs. Chiros were really ahead of the curve, though, and in real life, quackery predominates.

Now tell me about all those quality UCLA "terrain theory" studies RobC137 goes on about. And you and Schierling gobbling up this shit; https://substack.com/@drschierling/reads

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

The care chiropractors offer is so superior to anything most medical docs offer.....

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

You sound like one of those trolls who frequents Paul Offit's Substack. They have no argument other than name calling.

Root Causes's avatar

You mean, I pointed out that he was another chiropractor talking out of his ass. Why would you embrace quackery? You used to have good judgement. What happened to you?

Root Causes's avatar

You sound like unhinged Fox-brained 80 year old Offit-troll Mary Ann Caton, third rate history "faculty" at third rate Penn State satellite. Your 80 year old husband had angioplasty a year or two after a vaccine booster.

You're a culture warring "vaccine skeptic" that parrots their illogical, incoherent talking points.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

I live in rural PA where I have yet to find a doctor who opposed the shots; and in fact, also got the shots themselves. We had a lot of "suddenly died" folk here. I'd bet the farm I know why.

Russell Schierling's avatar

Not surprising. We actually have some docs around here - several in fact - who were never gung-ho for the shots. And still more who have become less so over time.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

Back in Jan. I was in our local E.R. and the attending doc and I had a conversation about the covid shots. He, his wife, and kids all got the shot. I told him what I knew and he dismissed it with this: "I would never try to contradict anything you have to say about American history [I taught college level U.S. history for 34 yrs.]; we all need to stay in our lanes."

You should have stayed home. Or gone to a chiropractor or energy healer.

It was the entire covid experience that ripped off my mask. I don't "doctor" much, having had a step mother who was an old-fashioned hospital trained nurse and who deeply mistrusted doctors and pills. But the sheer power of so-called "public health," pharmaceutical companies, the willingness of most doctors to go along with standards of care, and most shockingly the vaccine racket showed me all I needed to know about how corrupt it all is. And now with the firings of Tracy Beth Hoeg, Vinay Prasad, and Marty Makary it's clear we have more work to do than I thought if we're ever going to be free from this cartel.

Rob (c137)'s avatar

Perhaps their firings are helpful to show that the system is corrupt to those that were on the fence about it.

I'm annoyed that RFK Jr as HHS secretary didn't end the COVID emergency that his predecessor extended. It's in his power to stop it without the need for any one else to approve or deny it.

This is what allows for the EUA shots to still be given under the PREP act. The “FDA approved" COVID shots were never available and still aren't. That's the scam they pulled.

If Kennedy did that and was fired, it would have demonstrated that the FDA approved shots were never there and that the PREP act is the way they give immunity to pharma.

Russell Schierling's avatar

Although not 100% explicit, that case has been made and made well, without anyone being fired. And yes, it is not just a scam; it is one of history's biggest.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

The scale of the scam is staggering. I have wondered if someone has threatened Kennedy regarding the ending of the covid emergency?

Russell Schierling's avatar

Like so many in the political sphere, there is no telling the extent of the blackmail. Could be anything. I simply cannot believe it was because he was paid off.

Drew Skonberg,DC's avatar

The Kennedy confirmation hearings were conducted by Sen. Cassidy,MD pHARMa shill himself. To give his deciding vote of approval, I believe he neutered Kennedy against pushing back too hard on vaccines. The good news, he just got gobsmacked in the La. Republican Party runoff, despite spending twice as much as the other 3 candidates combined! You saw the Casey Means, food and preservatives icing being scrapped off the cake, but don’t examine the cake God forbid. The vaccine search for truth is similar to the tobacco industry playbook, in the end Kennedy will set this right.

MAHArd's avatar

Nice example - the "entire covid experience" ripped your mask off, revealing the extent of your dementia's progression. Because that's how that metaphor works - in English.

Following the scamdemic quite closely, I noticed that several hospital personnel when asked to report an AE did not even know of the existence of VAERS. The system of automatic reporting should really be adapted, in my humble opinion, even if there is a small number of over-reporting (as in, the symptom was not related to the vaccination). When talking about AE a young mother only knew vaccines could cause this, when her own child suffered a sudden illness', thankfully still at the office, and was afterwards unharmed. This was her oldest and she wisely decided to not inject the other children. Vaccines are, indeed, unavoidably unsafe. (I think Mrs. McBean would find that an understatement - just reading her book)

Hi Ingrid, great comment.

Relatedly— a testimony that includes the statement: "The majority of our nurses, nurse managers, and some doctors do not even know what VAERS is. I have spoken to our chief medicine managers, other nurses on why we're not recording to VAERS, and the most common response is, What is VAERS?"

Collette Martin, RN Testifies Before the Louisiana House of Representatives (12/6/2021)

"I'm extremely concerned with the idea of mandating this vaccine for our children. The reactions we are seeing in the hospital with adults are terrifying and they're being ignored... And I'm asking you to please ponder this, what side of history will you be on? I know this madness has to stop."

Your site is where I get most of this information from! Thank you for your great work.

Beyond the extraordinary numbers of people killed by vaccines, my mind goes to us, the survivors who have lost capacity and health; how would we be, (undoubtedly wiser, healthier) if governments of the world were not intent on snuffing out lives out under the guise of 'health'.

Yo Russ, ever hear of vaersaware.com ? https://www.bitchute.com/channel/welcometheeagle88

https://x.com/welcometheeagle

It's a lofty assertion, but I don't think anybody has gone deeper in VAERS, VSAFE, EduraVigilance, MedSafe than me. I've come to the conclusion that VAERS was captured from day 1 and before day 1. The 1986 Vaccine ACT was going to happen before it happened, they just needed the unwitting characters to play out the choreography.

I hope you are familiar with Marge Grant's book A Stolen Life.

Thank you for the back story and details about Lazarus and co-authors, etc...

Russell Schierling's avatar

Yes, am familiar with your site from back in the pandemic, but stupid me - it did not come up on any searches in my research for this article. Of course it didn't. I lost track of it and my memory was jogged once I saw it. Part III will be right in your wheelhouse. I need to comb your site. Thanks for the heads up Eagle! BTW, will be using a link to info in your site for my Part III. Dang; no idea why your site did not pop into my mind.

No worries, it's been a long scamdemic. I do appreciate your deep insights of the Lazarus study. I learned something very important about VAERS report deletions (after publication). I constructed a "deleted reports" dashboard (https://www.vaersaware.com/deleted-reports-2007-2022) as per medalerts.org Wayback machine. I then discovered or realized there was a huge deletions of reports on the last update of 2009 with over 3,500 reports of which were 175 deaths.

When I asked Dr. Steven Rubin (creator of medalerts) if he remembered, he said oh yes! "That was the great purge of 2009...". Wow! I'm sure all the stuff Lazarus et al were doing in the background had something to do with CDC deleting all those reports.

I even asked Dr. McCullough if he knew about the great purge of 2009, he didn't of course but said he knew about inconsistencies. I wish I had the fortitude at that second to quip back and say this is FRAUD not inconsistencies.

Here is me asking Peter about the purge in 2009 and especially all the MMR deaths they scrubbed...: https://rumble.com/v1781r0-bombshell-cdcfda-caught-gaming-vaers-for-decades.html

I'm not even sure what to say other than WTH? I have never heard this before, but then again, that is the nature of a cover-up.

Thank you for this article I’ve just now sent it to several other substackers

The truth about this whole shebang is that IF big pharma vaccines were as safe and effective as the drug companies claim, they would let a system be in place to capture those "one in a million" bad events. They would have no worries if that is true, right?

Since there is no robust system in place to protect the public, I must know that ALL vaccines are horrendous poisons that have the potential to cause great harm and death. The fact that so many WORKING in the medical domain did not know or do not know VAERS even existed, tells you all you need to know.

Big pharma is going to protect their toxic vaccines at all costs and your life and that of your children's to them is of NO consequence. All that matters to them are profits and most doctors are spineless cowards to question anything. That is why I have no use for any doctor.

Impeccable research Russ. The organization and presentation is at or better than any I’ve seen. Sidebar: Walla or Voila?
