Today I noticed that the Florida Surgeon General has sent a letter US FDA & CDC to highlight the huge increase in reports to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System) during 2021 & 2022.
Many vaccine related injuries aren’t even recorded in VAERS by doctors. Not all doctors are nefarious but I’ve heard it’s tedious along with all the other paperwork.
I have heard that too, that it takes about half an hour, that it is unpaid work, and requires technical details not easily provided, especially by lay people. Busy doctors are thus unlikely to use it routinely. In addition, adverse events that do not happen almost immediately may not be recognised as such. My understanding is that VAERS was set up as part of the deal of granting immunity from liability of vaccinators and vax companies. These seem to be pretty obvious design flaws, and it is unsurprising that careful studies have consistently suggested very high under-reporting factors (from around 10 to about 40). Logically, if most adverse events are not reported, one would expect extra care to follow up those that do make it through the reporting barriers.

Private citizens can also submit reports, and the site has buggy data validation, perhaps intentionally so. It first rejected my submission (for a minor adverse reaction) because it wrongly calculated age from date of birth and then said I entered the wrong age. So I fudged one of the values to make it happy.
Later, I was notified that the submission was incomplete because it didn't include the "lot number", which I didn't know. Apparently, I had to select "N/A", instead of leaving the field blank. Good job, CDC.
Fixing the incomplete submission required an annoying amendment process.
FWIW (I have the screenshot): Date of birth was early 2015. Date of vax (flu shot) and reaction was late 2021. Age at vaccination was 6. Error: Age entered does not match auto-calculated age years.
But I also wonder if maybe there's something different about state attitudes and guidelines for AE reporting in Indiana. It seems like in a lot of places it's a sad case of "the first rule of adverse events is, don't report adverse events..." and that has been true since long before covid. A young relative had some fairly scary problems with the ordinary round of childhood immunizations, and the parents were repeatedly gaslit by pediatricians and hospital ER staff about it, so definitely it was never reported to VAERS. That was a decade ago, seemed to be standard practice, and definitely made me wonder how many of these things go under the radar.
So... assuming that general guidance for medical professionals is something like "adverse events don't happen and if you report them you'll be targeted for retaliation" There may be some room for variation across jurisdictions when it comes to how stringently the unwritten rule is enforced. Would love to hear from some doctors in Indiana about this.
That's a good question & I'm not sure if I'll have enough data to answer. I believe I can get the VAERS data from previous years, but I'm not sure there is published data on the number of doses of *all* vaccines being administered by time/state. COVID vaccines might be unique in the reporting of how many people are jabbed.
“Until proven otherwise.” The three most important words in human drug experimentation of any kind. This, of course, was the standard before the clown world 2021 and beyond which we are living through.
In other words, causation is assumed... people have to figure this out. Due process for experimental drug and vaccine safety is not the same as our typically reasoning
This is to ensure the most basic of safety measures.
Have a look at the UK yellow card reporting system for comparison? It doesn't just rely on medics making reports, patients are encouraged to report drug side effects (long story short I have experience of using it when you literally filled in a yellow card). As for Indiana, could be batch related. In Nov 2021, the European medicine regulator revealed that there were huge quality control issues with the Pfizer and Moderna jabs - some batches had 8x the active ingredients, some 0. Just a thought.

The first place the mind goes is "bad batch".

--do we have access to data that would tell us whether Indiana's AE reporting for *all* vaccines was higher than other states *before* the pandemic?

It's horrible to have the CDC, a deeply pro-vax organization, assess vaccine safety.
