An article on a U.K.-based conspiracy news site uses VAERS data to claim that 4,000 fetal or newborn deaths are linked to COVID-19 vaccines. It’s important to remember that VAERS reports are unverified and cannot be determined to be caused by a specific vaccine. The number of VAERS reports of fetal or newborn deaths that occurred at some point after vaccination is not the accurate number of vaccine-related deaths. An analysis of VAERS reports found under 1,800 reports of fetal or newborn death after COVID-19 vaccination but the causes of the deaths or even whether the death actually occurred cannot be determined from VAERS data.
