Speculation? This is HHS saying that the reporting system is vastly underutilized. You know the situation is bad if the gov. admits that their own agency is not working!

It's now real time and daily, via text/cell with V-safe, as a result of that decade old study. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted May 4, 2021 Moderators Share Posted May 4, 2021 "V-safe is a smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after you receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Through v-safe, you can quickly tell CDC if you have any side effects after getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Depending on your answers to the web surveys, someone from CDC may call to check on you and get more information. V-safe will also remind you to get your second COVID-19 vaccine dose if you need one." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all of my acquaintances did not bother to participate because they believe that no one gives a “s**t” anyway. I also know some docs who will not be bothered as well. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2778441 Maynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw, neither my wife nor I had anything more than a sore arm so we didn't file a report. 8 minutes ago, jimjimbo said: How many other "apps" are out there like this?

CECAA850 Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Older people don't use apps and many people can't be bothered. It's like surveys, most people just blow them off as waste of time as they'll never see the results of the survey or changes made by participating in one. 8% participation sounds about right.

Sam S. Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Probably because adverse events really aren't investigated, and they certainly aren't reported in the media. Pharma and health "experts" have already been locked into the "safe and effective" narrative, so anything that runs contrary to that will be discounted as either outright false or an odd coincidence. According to the VAERS data, there were (as of this posting), 109,199 adverse events reported from COVID vaccines. I'd challenge anyone to find a mainstream news article that even mentions this. Instead, we see Scott Gottlieb, former FDA commissioner, plastered all over the news and talking about how everyone should vaccinate a 10 year old, with no mention of the fact that he is currently on the board directors for Pfizer, which stands to gain Billions in profits from vaccine distribution and repeated vaccinations.

I've never heard of the app till now. I'm sure others are in the same boat. If they do have complications they're probably be more focused about getting better than downloading and filling out a survey on an app. I asked a co-worker who has had both shots if he's ever heard of that app, and he was unfamiliar with V-safe. His exact words were "I've never heard of it, why?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw, thing about actual News sites is that they have a vetting and editorial process. That's my point, the only articles are there to support the narrative of those that I mentioned, and Big Pharma, the "nothing to see here folks" narrative. What is the CDC doing to investigate these reports? Does the media actually talk to people who've had and reported these adverse events? Undoubtedly, some are quite minor, and others likely mis-reported or false, but all 100,000? You can't discount the narratives of people who describe their own actual experiences, especially when the clinical trials datasets are so (relatively) low.
