While it is true that VAERS reports are not proof of vaccines having killed the person that died in and of themselves, there is clearly an issue here.

No, there is not. That is just a feeling you have. People statistically have health issues and even die all the time. You would have to show that statistically those people were dying more than normal to even begin to show there is a problem, much less a clear one.

And even a study like that would be complicated by the fact that VAERS accepts reports from all over the world, with different rates of all reported issues. Furthermore, statistically the chance for health issues is higher during the pandemic due to stressful conditions, poorer nutrition, and less availability of health services overwhelmed by treatment of COVID patients.
