Context: VAERS is self-reported data and not even error-checked.
So the report of the infant vaccinated in December shooting herself? Uh, that’s not a Pfizer trial participant, Joel. That's a data entry error. sciencebasedmedicine.org/covid-19-vacci…
Another of the 9 reported deaths, of a supposed nursing infant, didn’t even take vaccine, and the report appears to have been submitted by someone who saw a outright fraud on Facebook. Anyone can submit!
Here’s one of the three “permanent disabilities.” It complains about blurred (noting other possible contributing causes), but seems clear the author is not actually 5.25 years old as claimed. Data entry error.
In fact, none of the Pfizer vaccine trial events could even be reported until the results are unblinded; Joel just made that up, along with the bogus stat about 4000 minors getting shots. The actual number is over 2 million (remember 16-17 year-olds are authorized).
The death rate of 15-19 year-olds in the USA is about 50/100,000 per year. So if you picked 2 million at random, you would expect 80 of them to die within one month. This is less than you'd expect by chance, and it includes obvious errors and a hoax. cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/a…
Update: Joel appended to his thread with this message. He didn't say "my claim that only 4000 minors got the vaccine was wildly false, as was my claim about 0.2% fatality rate."
His first tweet got 2k more retweets after this.
In the last couple hours, Twitter has removed them.

Here Naomi Wolf suggests criminal prosecution might be necessary for a teacher’s union that invested millions into a company she says harvests DNA from children without HIPAA protections.
TLDR: They don’t. That’s not how this works, that’s not how any of this works.
A partial list of issues: 1. CalSTERs has invested literally 0.004% of its portfolio into the company Wolf hates. 2. CalSTERS is legally obligated to protect its members’ retirement savings, and so can’t really make decisions based on Wolf’s unique theories.
Context: Alex Berenson casually suggests the Ohio governor is guilty of war crimes because lottery tickers are "coercive." But by this logic, lotteries themselves are—they offer life-changing amounts of money for only $1, which even less commitment than getting the vaccine!
In fact, they're even more coercive because people can by endless tickets, and some in fact do ruin themselves this way. A chance for a single lottery ticket only constitutes "coercion" if you don't understand what a lottery is.
Context: I'd like to walk through this, because this plot is sort of a Rosetta Stone of debunking bad takes.
First, Covid skeptics almost uniformly denied that cases were meaningless—up until they could snapshot a plot and blame the vaccines. They'd always claim that there are lots of "false positive" and that unnecessary testing created a "casedemic."
Context: Again, this non-leaked, public document describes which pregnancies should be monitored during the trial. It doesn't suggest "shedding" exists (which can't because there's no virus to shed).
Context: Jordan denies that Israel's current level of cases (approaching nil, with a positivity rate of 0.1%) is remarkable, says it doesn't show the vaccines are working, even as neighboring countries went through recent surges. Wrong.
Context: This was one of a series of tweets last year suggesting that the response to COVID-19 was mysterious because 70-116k died in 1957 and we didn't shut down anything!
In fact, we had a vaccine prepared within months to blunt the impact of that flu. history.com/news/1957-flu-…
For some reason Jeffrey keeps bringing up this example—America in 1957 where we had a vaccine—even as we've blown the doors off the 1957 death toll.
