Which reminds me of one other question that I had for CARenter. Is there a reliable database somewhere showing these “thousands” of children who have been harmed? Do they appear on the VAERS database? If so, what is the name of the symptom that they developed following their vaccination? If they are not in the database, are there thousands of letters from the CDC explaining why they were excluded, or even confirming that they were excluded?[/quote]

I mention the thousands because back in the 90s when I was teaching, this was becoming a pretty big issue in the education field. Many articles were being written about these families. To the best of my limited knowledge, there were no major studies or databases of these patients at that time. Parents were complaining about the lack of attention/investment/research being done to find out why so many kids were experiencing such dramatic changes in such a short time after being vaccinated.

I met the two families I had mentioned in the early-mid 2000s, and they were still frustrated with the lack of attention being paid by the medical establishment and the government. In all three cases (in two families), the diagnosis was autism, with two being severely autistic and one with a mild-moderate form. I have no idea if they’ve been included in that VAERS database, but don’t believe they were included in any database at that time.[/quote]

The VAERS database has been in place since 1990. Anyone can make a report – in fact, if you go here: https://vaers.hhs.gov/esub/index
there is the following invitation in bold and larger size letters:

“Please report all significant adverse events that occur after vaccination of adults and children, even if you are not sure whether the vaccine caused the adverse event.”

In smaller letters it goes on to say: “The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) accepts all reports, including reports of vaccination errors.”

So, one would expect that all of these events would have been reported.
