If I'm understanding you right, you are thinking that the VAERS system is holding back the majority of its reported claims because the European claims systems have over 2 million claims but only 600,000 of them are showing up on VAERS. I <think> only the serious events are required to be forwarded to VAERS, which would mean we can't expect all 2 million reports to go to VAERS.

Well not exatly. Europe alone reportedly has 5,315,063 - half serious. But that is just Europe. There are reports from every other country to add to this.

I don't know how may of the 600,000 showing up on VAERS are from Eurioe, Maybe it's 100,000.

It is my understanding that big pharma is responsible for gathering adverse events ex-US and reprting them to VAERS. How does it do this? It probably does not - I doubt those ijected are even aware they should report to big pharma if they get injured - probably not the families of the dead either.

Which - leaves the issue of reports to the various countries adverse event reporting systems. Hopefully yhe better surce of information.

The details required to report to VAERS are sufficient to eliminate ay duplications (probably hardy any and the only reports are to the various countries adverse evet reprting systems).

The EU administered a billion doses in its own jurisdiction. The total for the EU ad US id arund 1.7 billion doses.

400m Pfizer and 250m Moderna doses for the US

665m Pfizer and 156m Moderna doses for the EU

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-vaccine-doses-by-manufacturer?country=~European Union

Pfizer claims 4.2 billion doses administered globally - which leaves 3 billio administered outside the US and outside the EU.

I am guesstimating and proxying around 2 to 2.5 billion doses by other US vaxx makers - almost all of which were Moderna - which leaves maybe 2 billion Moderna doses administered outside tithe Us and outside the EU.

I thik yu are right about expectations - under reporting is the norm. But our expectations do not fit with what SHOULD be happening.

"Lastly, just a speculative observation, - around 70-75% of injections did not result in harms."

Until proved otherwise, all shots resulted in harm. They are and will remain the cause of unpredictable consequential outcomes, which would seem the only generalisation possible.

Peter, Great analysis and very-credible extrapolations. I'm getting ready to write a story about "real inflation." In that story, I'm going to highlight the point that the formulas to calculate the Consumer Price Index (which measures "official" inflation) have been changed numerous times.

IMO, these formulas were changed to conceal (reduce) the real rate of inflation. That is, the government has been doing the exact same thing with probably all data and calculations they produce. If the real data would embarrass them or go against the authorized narrative, they rig the data somehow.

They of course did this with all the Covid data.

Yes. Lots of hedonistic adjustments and switches from arithmetic to geometric tc.

These chaps have bee on the case for a while:

I love Shadow Stats. I once interviewed the creator of that site for a story I did for The American Conservative on "shrinkflation."

I wrote that story about four years ago. Shrinkflation has gone to an entirely different shrink-rate in the last two or three years.

That’s not the reason those reports are conveniently missing. The CDC could pay any amount of money if they wanted those figures to be released. Just have the Fed print what they need like all crooked government agencies. No. They don’t want the liability for what they did. So these figures will remain unavailable.
