So again, we can go round and round on numbers, but I've been looking at this for years. I didn't need a sophisticated algorithm. As We went from an average of about 290 deaths per year reported to VAERS associated with the vaccine up to 2020, 2021 is 21,000. They had to hire additional people to just process the backlog of VAERS reports. And yet now we know Peter Marks, he was shown that their analysis was going to hide safety signals. (07:31–07:41)
