For the record, of the 10 studies shown on the first page of the link you posted in your defense:
- Three specifically cite the limitations of VAERS and describe it as a poor singular data source useful only for pattern monitoring for further research.
- Five do exactly that (pattern monitoring) and each follows up with a statement that VAERS is at best unreliable and in three cases, directly calls out that the reported cases have no connection to vaccination.
- One uses it as a source for a lit review, but specifically states it provides correlation data, not causation.
- One has no mention of VAERS in it at all.
Try again.
You moved the goal post. You said it wasn’t used as a source, clearly it was.
