>>13987532Honestly probably. I've read through some of the raw data vaers provided (prior to Covid) and the information was pretty spotty at times. Just a couple claims from what I remember:
>Young son has severe eczema following routine influenza booster, mother claims they're related, obligated to report>10 month old infant dies from congenital heart defect, caretaker thinks complications from DTaP, obligated to report>70+yo woman died of a stroke, documented history of high blood pressure, next of kin insists their flu shot 4 YEARS AGO contributed to death, obligated to report>Elderly man severely injured from fall in his home, suffers from dementia, relative suggests vaccine from a DECADE ago, obligated to report Some of the gaps between claimed immunizations and complications span from reasonable to over half a decade apart, more often than not it comes off as "confused caretaker is unsure what happened and choosing to blame something they don't understand". I can well imagine those conditions escalating at a time where people are scared, confused, and stressed (job insecurity, late rent/utilities, medical misinformation, 24/7 news exposure, etc).
Before Covid, I've seen a lot of antivaxxers predate on parents of ill/dying/dead children by exploiting that fear of the unknown and personal incredulity with medicine: its easier for some parents to process a child's death as the work of something malevolent rather than just natural causes. Naturally they've just expanded their emotional propaganda nets to include adults.
