Just a reminder that anyone, including you and I can report a vaccine death to VAERS database. It's not surprising that many entries get cleared up

I had to look this up and you're right.

VAERS accepts reports from anyone. Patients, parents, caregivers and healthcare providers (HCP) are encouraged to report adverse events after vaccination to VAERS even if it is not clear that the vaccine caused the adverse event. In addition, HCP are required to report certain adverse events after vaccination.

However, physicians that report have to fill out a longer form and can be held liable for reporting false information.
