Dr. Peter McCullough, MD, one of the most cited medical doctors on COVID-19, reported that, between December 14 and April 23, there were 3,544 deaths reported to the CDC's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System [VAERS], along with 12,619 serious injuries. He said if this were any other vaccine it would have been pulled from the market for safety reasons after 50 unexplained deaths. In early March, the CDC announced that they had reviewed about 1,600 deaths and indicated that not a single death was related to the vaccine! Dr. McCullough said it is impossible to opine that none of the deaths were related to the vaccine without a thorough investigation. Covid injection deaths are undercounted because (1) only 1% to 10% of all vaccine-related deaths are estimated to be reported to VAERS, (2) reporting a death requires a healthcare worker to enter it into the system, (3) and if the death does not occur within the normal 15-minute monitoring period they often go unreported. Most deaths occur within 72 hours of the shot. McCollough also said focusing on sick patients would have had the highest public-health value, instead of lockdowns and masks for contagion control, and vaccines.
