"... completely Government owned, so it's not some TikTok guy giving his own opinion ..."

Meanwhile on the website:

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) receives adverse event reports associated with medicines and medical devices. These reports come from a wide range of sources, including members of the public, general practitioners, nurses, other health professionals and the therapeutic goods industry.

[emphasis mine]

... So it includes some TikTok guy giving his own opinion.

    And the covid deaths are accurate?

    Depends on the country. As you get away from the first world, there aren't the testing resources available, so there are vast under-counts.

    In the case of Australia, they'll be pretty good.

    Both are ball parks,

    The database from members of the public and health professionals for possible cases is not in the ballpark of the deaths due to the vaccine.

    The number of vaccine deaths according to the TGA in Australia is 9.

    If anything vaccine adverse reactions are going to be under reported but to come to a conclusion different than the video you would need an over reporting factor of 8:1.

    Not even close.

    1039 deaths from COVID, 9 deaths from the vaccine. Not 8:1 the ratio is 1:115

    If anything vaccine adverse reactions are going to be under reported

    Clearly not. The TGA reviews all deaths in people who have received the vaccine. Only 9 so far of the 495 reports were due to the adverse effects of the vaccine.

    And the example I gave you there was generous in assuming the opposite of reality that the error in covid deaths would be under reporting. We know the exact opposite is the case

    I don't know that.

    How do you know that?

    given how they measure a covid death.

    That that is measured according to this definition. "A COVID-19 death is defined for surveillance purposes as a death in a confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID-19 (e.g. trauma). There should be no period of complete recovery from COVID-19 between illness and death. Where a Coroner’s report is available, these findings are to be observed." - Source

    Why would that over-count necessarily? It seems to me that there would be unconfirmed cases in regional and remote Australia that would be under-counted. And there would be deaths from an undentified cause in a person who is simultaneously ill with a COVID-19 infection that would result in an over-count. It's not obvious to me that one or the other would dominate.
