Important: VAERS reports alone cannot determine if a vaccine caused an adverse event. Reports may contain incomplete, inaccurate, or unverified information. Correlation does not equal causation.

The 19.05% mortality rate among these reports is elevated, but this reflects the severity of the condition itself rather than vaccine causation.
