The numbers are higher specifically because doctors are, for the first time in a long time, actually required to report to VARES even if they known an Adverse Event is unrelated to the vaccine.
So citing higher numbers says nothing, it is entierly expected given the law.
"they're using the same criteria as before".
The FAQ that you just linked literally says you are wrong and I am right.
From the link you provided:
"Healthcare providers are required to report to VAERS the following adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination [under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)], and other adverse events if later revised by CDC:"
It clearly states that the reporting has significantly changed under the EUA and it is **now** required by law to report whereas before it was optional.
Are you just seeing what you want to.. It very clearly stated reporting adverse effects of COVID-19 is mandatory under the Emergency Use Authorization... What does the same format of a table have to do with anything.
@meowski
The quote i already gave explicitly states it only applies to covid-19 under EUA
The required list of AE that need to be reported for other vaccines is much smaller than the list for COViD (and a recent development). If you read the fax they list the events that are required to be reported for covid vaccines and its different from other vaccines due to it falling under rhe EUA
Not sure why you need the link when the VARES site itself explicitly states the difference in reporting between COVID-19 and vaccines in general... but ok
here's the faq

where's the link to the law? post it.
