Due to underreporting, the actual number of deaths following vaccination is likely to be far higher than the number reported in VAERS. On July 13, 2021, an expert witness signed a Declaration under penalty of perjury expressing her opinion that, as of July 9, 2021, “the deaths occurring within 3 days of vaccination are higher than those reported in VAERS by a factor of at least 5. This would indicate the true number of vaccine-related deaths was at least 45,000.”
