US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System data (as of January 3, 2022) – COVID-19 vaccine events and deaths for all vaccines year by year
Note that the data presented in this post is accessed January 3, 2022.
I have to emphasize that it is accepted that VAERS data under-represents the actual adverse events (the disclaimer says, “in large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary”), so the point of posting this information is to present evidence that adverse events are occurring and documented.
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System: https://vaers.hhs.gov/data.html.
First option, check “I have read and understand the disclaimer” and click “Download VAERS Data”
If you get a chance, you should download the data sets you are interested in, for example, download the zip files for “All Years Data,” “2021,” “2020,” etc.
I would note the discrepancy between the size of the 2021 zip file and the size of the files for all of the previous years. Why is it so much larger? The VAERS DATA CSV file is also much larger than for previous years and so is the VAERS Symptoms CSV file and the VAERS Vaccine CSV file.

1990 0.21 MB 0.58 MB 0.13 MB 0.19 MB
Also note that the size of each of these files becomes progressively larger year after year, from 1990 onwards.
The zip file for 1990 is 0.21 MB, the one for 2000 is 1.95 MB, the one for 2010 is 5.43 MB and the one for 2020 is 11.32 MB.
I would guess that this is because, as the years go by, there are more vaccine products and more symptoms reported.
The one for 2021 is 170.29 MB so it appears that 2021 is a very special year.
We know that COVID-19 vaccines were introduced to the public in 2021.

Either way, the numbers aren’t accurate anyway, but notice how many deaths were reported in 2021 for all vaccine products compared to previous years according to the VAERS data.
