Isn't that where anyone can post unverified reports os possible reactions to the vaccine? Kinda like turning in a school report based on information from Wikipedia? Your teacher probably would not accept that report.
You apparently don't realize VAERS is hosted by the CDC. You should be able to quote their numbers. Why wouldn't you be able to do that?
I have read that most of the reports are physician initiated. They're not just whimsical dalliances and flights of imagination.
In addition, deaths are marked "covid" when people die *with* covid, as opposed to *from* it - so the numbers are inflated. And if you have die with covid and are vaccinated, the deaths are not attributed to covid. There's a whole lot of rearranging and fudging of numbers by the CDC, which they actually ADMITTED last week!

Wow.. So for decades VAERS was a valid reporting site for vaccine issues. All the folks pushing vaccines cited VAERS as the shining example of how vaccines were indeed "safe and effective" because of hardly any reports.
But along comes covid. Along comes a new vaccine never used in humans before.
The VAERS database explodes.
And now...VAERS is like wikopedia.
How can people go from trusting VAERS to not trusting VAERS so quick ?

Oh, but I do. It mentions that right on the website, afterall. But anyone can report to VAERS. And anyone can misinterpret what they read on VAERS, too.

VAERS is ripe for exploitation because it relies on unverified self-reports of side effects. Anyone who received a vaccine can submit a report. And because this information is publicly available, misinterpretations of its data has been used to amplify COVID-19 misinformation through dubious social media channels and mass media, including one of the most popular shows on cable news.

Because VAERS claims are self-reported, they tell us something about what ordinary people, as opposed to doctors and medical researchers, think about vaccine safety. In other words, people who feel that a vaccine is responsible for a side effect they might be experiencing can log that concern with the federal government, whether or not those claims would stand scrutiny in rigorous clinical testing.

I didn't say it wasn't part of Twitters TOS, I said it was never a part of anyone's up until recently. You know how recently? Obviously right around the time of covid.
Until "true and verifiable information" stays that way for more then a week, who is Twitter to decide what is misinformation? Ah yes. The government. Still don't see a problem?
The problem is who is influencing those rules?
A policy can be bad even if (in this case) it supports your opinion. I wish people could see the bigger picture.

When misinformation is posted, Twitter has the right to delete it. Guess people have to really be able to dig deep and do their own research on what the truth is and isn't. That's the bigger picture.
