Wasn't aware of all of it.

By the way, here's something tricky to understand and it came to mind as I was taking another look at those ...

Of the 55 DIED reports, they were all given VAERS_IDs higher than the highest from the week before, all reported during that week. (the CDC RECVDATE's can be trusted hopefully). HOWEVER only 6 of the 55 were reported in the latest week as expected, their DATE_DIED is prior, and all the way back to 02/06/2021. Nine from 2021, ten from 2022, fourteen from 2023 before the week, and the six other 2023 are in the week being reported (the expected case).

I think it most likely means that people are newly finding out about VAERS and deciding to go through the arduous process of reporting on a death that occurred in the past. They are assigned new VAERS_IDs higher than the previous week.

My code only marks reports as Delayed in the status column when their VAERS_IDs are filling in a previous gap. It dawned on me that my word "Delayed" is a misnomer. I liked it because it is shorter than Throttled.

I could address it maybe with a new term, something like Reported_late, although I think that might apply to the majority of all reports. Even died Thursday and not reported until Monday.

But like this one for example as an extreme:

https://medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?IDNUMBER=2639448&WAYBACKHISTORY=ON

Onset: 2020-12-23

Entered: 2021-01-22

First Appeared on 6/9/2023 two and half years later

For now, think of my status "Delayed" as VAERS_ID_Gap_Fill. Seems most all reports are delayed, to some degree by the reporter so I guess it could partly be a sign of people awakening.

Thanks, good to know the resource is noticed.

Wonder if there's a way to find out what reporting rate change has occurred in those 31 countries purged: https://deepdots.substack.com/p/countries-hit-in-the-vaers-11-11
