“Academic researchers throughout our country and around the globe have seen troubling safety signals of adverse events surrounding this vaccine. Their concerns are corroborated by the substantial increase in VAERS reports from Florida, including life-threatening conditions,” Ladapo wrote in the letter, dated Wednesday.
Percentage increases do not alone provide an understanding of the magnitude of an event. According to the VAERS database, 14 life-threatening events following any vaccination were reported in Florida in 2020. In 2021, the number was 695, according to the database. In 2022, the number was 177. Nearly 42 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in Florida, according to the CDC.
William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee, said Ladapo’s letter “speaks a misunderstanding of the VAERS data and how they are used, and that’s unfortunate.” “All you know is that you have two coincidental events,” he said. It’s a “logical fallacy” to conclude that “because ‘B’ follows ‘A,’ ‘A’ caused ‘B.’”
