Here’s the thing— the disingenuous downplay VAERS for all of its faults, but it’s the only system that’s available. NIH and CDC have the ability to change how this works, but don’t.
It’s easier to have a flawed system for creating poor strawmen.

Various estimates suggest that the voluntary nature of the system--and the personal and professional incentives for doctors to NOT enter events--mean that there is large, systematic underreporting of adverse events in VAERS.
She then pointed out that it was up to her ex-husband – from whom she amicably split in 2018 – to report his reaction to the vaccine as it wasn’t automatically done by the hospital.
“I wasn’t aware of that Jackie, and I’ll take that on board,” Ms Berejiklian responded.
“We find out (about these issues) because the federal authority puts out a statement if there’s any adverse reactions to the vaccine.”
Not to mention that in the middle of an unprecedented pandemic with a novel and strange acting coronavirus US government agencies are actively discouraging reporting on adverse vaccine events. Copied word for word directly from the OSHA website: “DOL and OSHA, as well as other federal agencies, are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers' vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904's recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination at least through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agency’s position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward.” https://www.osha.gov/coronavirus/faqs#vaccine

non-reporting is likely on the order of 90-99%.

the idea that VAERS is over reporting bad outcomes looks impossible to support.
In Australia the hospital is not required to report the adverse event, the *patient* is.
