In recent years evidence has emerged that adverse event reports from consumers contain information that is useful for monitoring the safety of therapeutic products, but there is low awareness of available reporting systems. In Western Australia https://www.health.wa.gov.au/~/media/Corp/Documents/Health-for/Immunisation/Western-Australia-Vaccine-Safety-Surveillance-Annual-Report-2021.pdf Total AEFI rate following a COVID-19 vaccine was 264.1 per 100,000 doses. 26.41 per 10 thousand 2.641 per thousand 0.241% How to report in Australia https://aems.tga.gov.au https://aems.tga.gov.au/privacy/ https://aems.tga.gov.au/report-unregistered/?id=2da2d6a9-0d26-ee11-8172-005056a9ce6f How to report in UK https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk How to report in the US https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html https://vaers.hhs.gov/esub/index.jsp Yellow Card: Yellow card scheme, Don’t wait for someone else to report it https://www.gov.uk/drug-safety-update/yellow-card-please-help-to-reverse-the-decline-in-reporting-of-suspected-adverse-drug-reactions It is estimated that only 10% of serious reactions and between 2 and 4% of non-serious reactions are reported. Under-Reporting of Adverse Drug Reactions https://link.springer.com/article/10.2165/00002018-200629050-00003 12 countries, 43 numerical estimates of under-reporting. The median under-reporting rate across the 37 studies was 94% In primary care Non serious, 95% under reported Serious or severe, 80% under reported Hospital based More severe or serious, 85% to 95% under reported As an Australian I feel utterly let down. Grateful for WA for making this report available, but it leaves such a bad taste in the mouth to know how we were lied to. I did not want the vaccine and felt pushed from all sides to get it. As a West Australian I can say that doctors were discouraged to report adverse events and were reprimanded if they reported too many. The red flag system in Australia took about 45mins to report and doctors were not paid to do so. This data is absolutely doctored and controlled. I fled WA to another State with my family as soon as the unvaccinated could travel outside of the State domestically. I work in the medical field and lived in a suburb surrounded by the medical profession. The GPs who weren't afraid to report these events started getting phone calls from the Department of Health questioning their opinions and asking them to retract their reports and registrars/junior doctors working in hospitals were told to remove vaccine injury from patient notes by senior staff. My mother was vaccine injured and did not report it to the VAERS system. I imagine others like her are part of why the US has poor data on vaccine side effects. I live in Alberta, Canada. I worked for a group of general practitioners during the height of covid and the vaccine implementation. I can tell you first hand that the physicians I worked for purposefully did NOT report vaccine side effects regardless of their legal obligation to due so. When I inquired about it, it was strongly implied that I mind my own business. Interesting. I am in BC and know my reported side affects were not reported as asked later and was told could not tell me and did not know who to direct me to.
