A social media post has garnered nearly 19,000 engagements by listing thousands of supposed “COVID-19 vaccine injuries,” which were pulled from VAERS. Responses to the post question the safety of the vaccine, with many misrepresenting VAERS data. As the VAERS website explains, the reports in the database are explicitly not a list of vaccine injuries. VAERS reports can be submitted by anyone and are unverified. VAERS is designed to be used by researchers to flag potential safety concerns, not to determine the safety of a particular vaccine.
