Based on official data from Open VAERS and the CDC, 5,993 Americans have died out of 146,171,792 Americans who are fully vaccinated as of June 11. This corresponds to a ratio of about four deaths out of 100,000 who are fully vaccinated.
When VAERS death rates are compared with COVID-19 vaccination rates from December to June, and odd pattern emerges: Vaccine-related deaths decline just as vaccination rates reach their peak in April (Graph 1). This implies that the VAERS death rate started at 18 per 100,000 on the 1st of February, then dropped to around 3.1 per 100,000 on the 1st of June (Table). If this remarkable trend really took place, why didn’t it make headlines?

Cumulative VAERS deaths
Table: Comparing VAERS death rates per 100K vaccinated over time. The vaccine death rate was calculated by dividing VAERS deaths per month by the total vaccinated. Cumulative total vaccinated was provided by the CDC’s COVID Data Tracker.
Silicon valley inventor/entrepreneur Steve Kirsch claims “inside sources” told him the true death count is 25,800 and that the CDC has been “reclassifying” most vaccine-related deaths. These are serious accusations and given the ubiquity of “anonymous sources” spreading fake news it is unwise to relay this information unless it leads to citable evidence.
Fortunately, Kirsch did not only cite an anonymous source. He also provided instructions for accessing these “hidden” deaths from the CDC at the 20:20 time mark of this video. Following these instructions, I downloaded the CDC file and found that the “unclassified” death rate trend “coincidentally” follows the vaccination trend with remarkable consistency (Graph 2).
Graph2: Comparing “unclassified” death rates by week with overall vaccination rates from December 2020 to June 2021. Vaccination rates were provided by the CDC’s COVID Data Tracker. Death rates were provided the CDC’s “Weekly Provisional Counts of Deaths by State and Select Causes.”
If values prior to December (left bar in Graph 3) are subtracted from values December to June (right bar in Graph 3), the number of excess “unclassified” deaths is 32,060. This is comparable to Steve Kirsch’s difference of 25,800 (My calculation may be higher because I downloaded the data a few days after Kirsch posted the video).
Graph3: Total “unclassified” deaths before and after vaccine availability. Death rates were provided the CDC’s “Weekly Provisional Counts of Deaths by State and Select Causes.”
A total of 32,060 vaccine-related deaths from December to June comes out to a death rate of 21 per 100,000 fully vaccinated. This is almost the same the VAERS death rate recorded for the beginning of February (Table). Is this another “coincidence”?
For the sake of argument, let’s suppose a massive number of people reporting these “unclassified” deaths were unsure if their loved one had died from the vaccine, so they avoided reporting to VAERS in fear of being prosecuted for the federal crime of “false reporting.” How could the CDC have failed to notice this trend in “unclassified” death?
For the sake of argument, let’s suppose that after February the CDC started relocating massive number of vaccine-related adverse events to another database to ensure their vaccination drive proceeded without interruption.
Occam’s razor favors the second scenario, but either way the CDC has a lot of explaining to do.

Since the vaccine rollout, there has been a great concern about two points: vaccine efficacy and vaccine safety. A research group has undertaken a review to determine the risk-benefit ratio of the vaccines. They just published their findings as a peer reviewed article in the journal, Vaccines 3 days ago. These studies are employed to consider the risk of severe side effects to the benefits of lives saved by the vaccines. Their findings are easily understood so I will let them describe the findings(I included clarifications of certain terms in brackets, and the bolded emphasis as well.):
The founder of the mRNA technology, Dr. Robert Malone had this comment on the results of this study:
It should be noted that this is a short term(6wk) study and the long term risk-benefit is unknowable at this time as the efficacy could remain or wane and the possibility of long term side effects remains to be seen.
Here is the link for the full journal text, it is well worth reading, but you would be well served to also look into the use and benefits of Risk-Benefit analysis:

COVID-19 might be over, but viral infections in Israel are surging
Children and adults around the country are getting sick as it usually happens in the winter, experts say.

The corona crisis might be over, but all over Israel adults and children are getting sick with viral infections in a phenomenon that is unprecedented for this time of the year, according to several medical professionals.
“We have never seen anything like this,” said Dr. Tal Brosh, head of Infectious Disease Unit at the Samson Assuta Ashdod Hospital. “We’ve been monitoring viral infections in the hospital, which of course is just the tip of the iceberg of what is going on in the community, as for each hospitalized patient, there are many more out there. Since the spring, we have been seeing an increasing number of respiratory diseases, and since May there has been a surge in RSV cases.”

RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, usually appears in the winter together with the influenza, and is especially serious for very young children and older, vulnerable adults.
“We usually see it disappearing in the summer, but if we consider the numbers now, it looks like winter in previous years,” said Brosh. “During the winter 2020-2021, we did not see one individual case of RSV.”
RSV is not the only virus that is widely circulating – other diseases that are currently infecting a growing number of people are a type of adenovirus, the human metapneumovirus (HMPV), and the rhinovirus. All of them are associated with respiratory symptoms and other symptoms similar to those of a severe cold. At the same time, influenza has not hit the country since the winter previous to the pandemic.
“However, we are not checking the type of virus in all cases,” said Dr. Tal Snir, director of the Adolescent Clinic at Tel Aviv’s Sourasky Medical Center (Dana-Dwek Children’s Hospital).
Snir noted that after the year of the pandemic, it is not surprising that these diseases are reappearing.

“We did not see them during the winter because we were wearing masks and because of the lockdowns, but they are normal viruses,” she said.
While no formal study appears to have been published on the topic, Brosh said that a similar phenomenon was reported in Australia a few months ago, when the country hit its summer after the first winter plagued by corona.
The number of children hospitalized with respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases has been exceptional also at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, said Dr. Giora Weiser, director of the Department of Pediatric Emergency Medicine.
“Children are going back to school, seeing friends and having a normal life again, and these viruses are taking their revenge,” said Weiser.
While there is no particular reason to be concerned, Weiser said that it has not been easy for the staff because of the work overload.
All experts agreed that nobody can predict how this surge of infections will continue to behave in the coming weeks and months.
“This is not a pandemic, these viruses exist in the country and every winter comes with illnesses,” Brosh said. “What is weird now is the season, and we do not know whether this will die soon or continue into next winter, and what will actually happen next winter.”

The clots in these capillary-beds has two major consequences that are representative of the disease – red blood cell damage and a reduction in oxygen to the organ associated with the capillary bed. The blood moves thru these small blood vessels at some speed and hits these clots causing the red blood cells to be damaged or break apart – this causes a drop in the red blood cell levels. The reduced blood cells reduces oxygen delivery to the organs and reduced removal of waste from the organs.
The clots that are formed in the capillary-beds also prevent what blood cells remain from delivering oxygen to the organ involved from these affected capillary-beds. As a result there can be serious clinical signs associated with a lack of nutrition to the organ system involved such as the brain, heart or kidney, among others. The drop in platelet levels is associated with a bruising pattern called purpura, small and very small bruising along the skin.
The cause of the non-inherited form of this disease is fairly lengthy. It includes some toxins, some drugs, auto-immune diseases, systemic infections and pregnancy. It can take months for the treatment of this disease to resolve, and recurrence is frequent, which is why anyone who has a history of TTP is being recommended to discuss this issue with their physician prior to using the experimental vaccines.

Thanks for sharing this, Adam. I had heard about a few of these cases in the past several months but I had not seen this report out of Israel as of yet.
TTP is a very serious disorder of the clotting system. TTP should not be confused with the large and plainly visible blood clots that are to be found in the mid to large blood vessel and are associated with cerebral sinus venous thrombosis or large blood clots. Those large blood clots that block these larger vessels have been associated with all four of the experimental vaccines and have been discussed over the past several months. TTP is a disorder associated with very tiny blood clots that are found in tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
TTP can be inherited from birth or acquired later in life following some biochemical event that leads to the same serious condition as the inherited form. In the inherited form, there is a gene, ADAMTS13, which is abnormal and fails to produce a specific enzyme. The inherited disorder is a consequence of neither parent passing a correct copy of the gene in question – everyone has two copies, one from each parent and the disease is only apparent when neither parent passes a working copy to their child. There may also be an absolute absence of the enzyme, or just a reduced level of it, dependent on the originating cause of each case of TTP. In an case of TTP acquired later in life, i.e. not inherited, antibodies interfere with the proper expression of the same gene/enzyme with the same result depending on the degree of severity of the disease.
The significance of this missing enzyme is that clots are not readily broken down. I have mentioned before that the clotting cascade is a marvelously balanced and sensitive system of checks and balances that results in a constant state of clotting formation and clotting dissolution in routine healthy states of life. But if this enzyme created by ADAMTS13 is not working properly, it will result in an imbalance in this clot formation-clot dissolution mechanism that will favor clot formations.
The details involve the creation of adhesion, large strand like extensions from the vessel walls being formed along the vessel walls. These strand-like adhesion will readily attach to a passing platelet(very small fragment that carries much of the clotting mechanism with in as it floats freely in the blood) and create a clot. The strand-like adhesion that form inside the smallest of blood vessels called capillaries or capillary-beds(rows of capillaries where oxygen is delivered to an organ like the brain, heart or kidneys) creates occlusions in the vessels that blood can not flow around.

Anyone interested in examining the actual data that is collected by VAERS or the CDC would find the video that the article above references as very rewarding. Kirsch has provided a very detailed and easy to follow video manual of sorts where the data for both sites may be downloaded and examined either grossly or in a more careful manner.
Steve Kirsch setup an Early Treatment Research Fund to finance the development of treatment protocols after the US gov’t failed to set aside any funding for such research. Kirsch placed one million dollars into this fund and raised a total of five million dollars to fund the treatment of Covid. His video is also quite informative beyond the data analysis of CDC and VAERS data sets.

It should be noted that TTP is completely different from the blood clots that have been talked about and noted for many months now with the vaccines. The clots discussed that caused the J&J vaccine to be temporarily pulled was a large and visible clot that can be involved in medium or larger vessels. The clots associated with TTP are very tiny and involve the occlusion or blockage of tiny vessels called capillaries which causes the serious consequences of the disease.
