Researchers went into the broken VAERS system (the one we've always been told captures less than 1% of adverse events) and looked specifically at Tdap vaccination in pregnant women.

What they found should be front page news.

Stillbirth: a reporting odds ratio of 285. Pre-term delivery: 196. Fetal death: 140.

Those numbers mean the signals appearing in the database are not slightly elevated. They are hundreds of times higher than expected. And that's in a system everyone (including the researchers themselves) acknowledges is wildly under-reporting to begin with.

Meanwhile, Canada just locked its vaccine injury data for 15 years. The country that froze bank accounts and crushed civil liberties to force compliance with a vaccine program is now hiding the outcomes. If the data looked good, they'd be rushing it out the door.

And here in the US, Politico published a piece fretting that the Supreme Court might allow doctors to speak freely with their patients about vaccines. That's the hill they're choosing to die on - the right of licensing boards to punish physicians for practicing medicine with an independent thought.

This is what the broken system looks like in full:

A passive surveillance network that captures almost nothing. Manufacturers with zero liability. Doctors who can lose their licenses for telling patients the truth. And now Rand Paul's bill — S.3853 — that would end pharmaceutical immunity and allow Americans to sue vaccine makers like any other product manufacturer.

Call your representatives. Support this bill. And if they vote against it, remember it.
