The US government’s vaccine injury tracking system, VAERS, has both a public database and a private ‘back end system’ that includes ‘all updates and corrections’ about vaccine injury reports, including formal diagnoses and deaths.
A research article published in the prestigious medical journal BMJ has revealed that the U.S. government keeps a private database for reported vaccine injuries.

According to the report by journalist Jennifer Block, the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) consists of a public database that only includes the initial report of a suspected vaccine injury case and a private “back end system” that contains “all updates and corrections—such as a formal diagnosis, recovery, or death.”
VAERS is co-operated by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is a public reporting system where everyone can submit a report of a suspected side effect caused by a vaccine. Block writes that all information about a case submitted after the initial reports are kept in a separate, private system, a fact that was reportedly confirmed by an FDA official.
The BMJ article tells the story of rheumatologist Patrick Whelan, who submitted a VAERS report for one of his patients, a 7-year-old boy who suffered a cardiac arrest and was admitted to the hospital after receiving a COVID shot. The boy eventually died in the hospital, and Whelan wanted to update his report but found that “there was no mechanism for [updating] it.”
Whelan later discussed the case with FDA official Narayan Nair, the division director overseeing VAERS. The rheumatologist was surprised to find out that the VAERS report about his patient still showed that the boy was submitted to the hospital but contained no update regarding his death.
“I made the false assumption that that conversation would result in an adjustment in the publicly reported case,” Whelan said. “Think of all the people who are using VAERS data as a means to assess what’s happening with the vaccines—except in this case you’d be left with the false impression that the child had had a serious adverse event,” instead of seeing that he had died.
