New vaccine adverse event reporting systems linked to well-known anti-vaccine groups

Anti-vaccination advocates are making further efforts to link vaccines and injury by creating a new vaccine injury reporting system: vaxxtracker.com. Children’s Health Defense is also hosting a vaccine injury reporting system. Both sites are focused particularly on COVID-19 vaccines. These systems are not endorsed by public health authorities and have no relationship, legal or otherwise, with the US-government vaccine adverse event reporting system: the CDC and FDA-monitored Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The creation of these new systems appears to be at least partly in response to anti-vaccination group’s distrust of public health and government authorities, and unhappiness with the administration of VAERS. Anonymity and confidentiality of submitted data into these new systems is a concern.
