In the letter, Mr. Johnson outlined some of the data from VAERS, which tallies adverse effects in people who get shots, though the shots have not been shown as the cause of the adverse effects:
• As of Aug. 20, 12,791 worldwide deaths over an eight-month period have been associated with the three COVID-19 vaccines.
• Of the deaths, 4,632, or 36.2%, occurred within two days of the vaccination.
• A total of 571,831 adverse effects were reported, including 51,242 hospitalizations and 16,044 permanent disabilities.
Mr. Johnson noted that the 12,791 deaths eclipse the 8,966 deaths related to all other vaccines reported on VAERS since its creation 31 years ago.
[…] He said the lack of transparency in the approval process was a disservice to Americans who have already suffered through the pandemic.
