🧵Since I've done a thread to end the VAERS Debate I should try my best to explain HOW to use the VAERS. So I made a ultra-simplified step-by-step how to guide to do a #VAERS data search. 1st go to their website:
vaers.hhs.gov

2🧵(all pics are #'d in order) Once you get to the webpage you'll need to scroll down till you see some options. For a data search you'll want to click the "Search VAERS" box

3.🧵After clicking the search option, you'll be taken to another page. Once there, you'll have a terms & conditions box with a disclaimer and warning on it. Read it, and click "I understand" if you wish to continue the process of using the #VAERS system,

4🧵You'll be asked with two boxes which type of search you wish to use. Click the first box that says "VAERS data search" (The other option is for a specific report which you'd need an identifier number for. ) You'll be taken to another page.

5🧵 Now you'll be on the main search form page. Scroll down til you see the box titled: Vaccine Products. In that box you'll need to locate the tabs labeled "COVID-19" & "COVID-19-2" Ctrl-select those two, being sure no other boxes are highlighted.

6🧵 After clicking those two, click the "Open" tab just below that box. Those tabe for COVID-19 & COVID-19-2 will expand, Ctrl+select everyone that are now available for COVID-19 (you'll see them appear in a box on the right) Scroll down.

7🧵Once they are all selected scroll down til you see: Box 4 labeled "Locations/Territory" and select "All Locations" make sure thats the only one highlighted. Then Press a grey "Send" button on the right. You just made a request for all Adverse Event reports for those vaccines

8🧵On the next page, your request will load. Shortly an answer and data will appear. The total will be in a box at the top. For this example, the total Adverse events for C19 💉s is: 1,538,487. To pull more data, click the "request form" tab. Taking you back to the previous page

9🧵 Whatever changes you want to make you can do. Double check your boxes to confirm what you want to see. Following the previous steps to choose criteria and pressing "Send" you'll get the requested data. Might take some practice but you can do it! Best of luck!
