Greetings! Hope you are all well.
I just read a “hit piece” regarding Substack - actually, a critique of a hitpiece by Matt Taibi. It appears that Substack has arrived, if it is attracting negative attention to this degree.
Since covid began, I have been writing a lot, in Twitter-sized snippets, regarding covid. Most recently, a few dozen tweets looking for “signals” in the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System - VAERS. It has been disappointingly easy to find these “signals”- I have found over twenty in the past week.
Back in February, I began looking at VAERS data for covid vaccines, which at the time included only Pfizer and Moderna. I did some preliminary analysis, and was concerned. It took me several weeks to find a data display format that reached a decent-sized audience, but by early April, I published a time-series graph of VAERS death reports, showing a gigantic spike in 2021. This post reached several hundred thousand readers.
Since then, I have struggled to expand on this audience, or to generate interest in the medical community to engage with this concerning “signal” in VAERS.
My intention, then, is to experiment with ways of communicating what has been obvious to me and others since April 2021 - that we are in a serious safety crisis with covid vaccines.
