JRE #2462 - Aaron Siri · Aired Mar 3, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
The V-Safe system was intentionally designed to prevent reporting of serious vaccine side effects.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Intentionally is the part that does not hold. V-safe was built to catch common short-term reactions through daily check-ins, and it did flag when someone needed medical care or missed work. It was never the channel for unusual or serious events, which is what VAERS is for, and it was not designed to establish cause. Being narrow by design is different from being built to suppress.
