Some of the perspective that needs to be applied is:

1) In most years we give flu shots to almost as many people as have gotten the Covid shots this year. The implication is that adverse events are orders of magnitude more common with the Covid shots than the flu shots.

2) There is a great deal of pressure in many hospitals to NOT make VAERS reports for the Covid shots. Thus the number of adverse events is almost certainly dramatically under-reported.

There's plenty more to include but I didn't want this to be an exhaustive list. You are correct in that there have been reports to not alert VAERS data and many people may have difficulty navigating VAERS on their own. There's a lot of reasons and they should be looked into but this was meant to provide a little bit of my perspective.
