According to data released as of Feb. 12, 15,923 adverse reactions to COVID vaccines, including 929 deaths,
have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC)
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) since Dec. 14, 2020.
The latest VAERS data show that 799 of the deaths were reported in the U.S., and that about one-third of those deaths occurred within 48 hours of the individual receiving the vaccination.
As is consistent with
previous VAERS data reports, 192 of the reported deaths — or 21% — were cardiac-related. As
The Defender reported earlier this month, Dr. J. Patrick Whelan, a pediatric rheumatologist, warned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December that
mRNA vaccines like those developed by
Pfizer and
Moderna could cause heart attacks and other injuries in ways not assessed in safety trials.
Of the 929 deaths reported since Dec. 14, 2020, the average age of the deceased was 77.8 and the youngest was 23. Fifty-two percent of the reported deaths were among men, 45% were women and 3% are unknown. Fifty-eight percent of the deaths were reported in people who received the Pfizer vaccine, and 41% were related to the Moderna vaccine.
States with the
highest reported number of deaths were: California (71); Florida (50); Ohio (38); New York (31); Kentucky (41); Michigan (31); and Texas (31).
CBS Detroit reported this week that a 68-year old news anchor died one day after being vaccinated for COVID of a
suspected stroke.
Reports of deaths among elderly people after being vaccinated for COVID continue to surface, including
the article published this week by The Defender about 46 nursing home residents in Spain who died within one month of receiving the Pfizer vaccine.
