evidence: FULL CLAIM: VAERS data are "crystal clear": "72% of the deaths in the history of VAERS are from the COVID vaccine"; the "vaccination-to-onset time" vaccine curve "means that the COVID vaccines are killing people" [...] In yet another iteration of this claim, entrepreneur Steve Kirsch published an article on Substack in August 2023, in which he used data from the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), a database where anybody can report medical events occurring among vaccinated individuals, to claim that it was "crystal clear" that "the COVID vaccines are killing people". [...] In another part of his analysis, Kirsch presented a graph that supposedly "means that the COVID vaccines are killing people". Once again, the reasoning is flawed. To understand why, we must first explain the rationale behind this.
