On a recent episode of “The Defender” podcast, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. interviewed data scientist and immunology researcher Jessica Rose, Ph.D., about the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and what it tells us about COVID vaccine injuries, especially among children..

“VAERS is telling a very frightening story,” Rose told Kennedy.

VAERS data show 618,548 adverse event reports (as of Oct. 29), but that number doesn’t account for under-reporting, explained Rose. (As of Nov. 19, the latest VAERS data show 664,745 adverse events, excluding foreign reports).

“If you consider the under-reporting factor, which I’ve based on the Pfizer phase 3 clinical data — which is probably questionable data anyway — the under-reporting factor is 31,” she said. So to get an accurate count of adverse events, “you need to multiply the VAERS numbers by at least 31,” Rose explained. “It’s really staggering. We’re in the millions.”

Rose said the VAERS data also show there are “children being inappropriately injected with these products.”

She told Kennedy reports submitted to VAERS show young children receiving COVID vaccines not yet authorized for their age group. As of Oct. 29, 38% of those children who died following the vaccine were under 2 years old.

“So someone has to explain that to me because we are not supposed to be injecting babies,” she said.
