one more thing worth noting about VAERS: ANYONE can make a report and they don't have to provide proof. So not all of the reports are factual. Some are left by trolls (people trying to be funny or who like to stir the pot), some are left by people with political agendas (anti-vaxxers, etc.), and some are left by conspiracy theorists and hypochondriacs. You can look at specific reports and many of them are obviously false.
I really enjoyed this podcast. I have nursed all 5 and will soon be nursing #6. have used LLL and a consultant several times and I still learned alot from Sally! Thank you!!
