There is so much to address in this "meme-a-fiction" MAM created and posted, but it is a great place to work from when debunking the VAERS claims often made by anit-vaxxers. I'm going to first address everything except for the *1-10% of all injuries are reported to VAERS.* That claim I am saving for the end because there are many links and sources to cite with the information available, though the claim of under-reporting, and over-reporting for that matter, will be discussed here and there throughout the post. For now though, let's move on to the first statistic MAM incorrectly alleges.

The first post by Martha on December 21, 2018 reads,
"Help. My 9 month old is crying uncomfortably. Thick mucus. She cries harder when she coughs. Fever is only 100 [degrees Fahrenheit/37.7 Celsius] she's so stuffed up she's not nursing.....I thing the mucus is making it hard for her to breathe....We leave for a trip tomorrow morning."
