This seems to just be random data from VAERS. So the "deaths" column includes things like people who got hit by a bus 6 months after being vaccinated. I think OP is looking for a comparison of side effects caused by the vaccine (for example, comparing death rates b/w vaccinated and the general population, without falling into the common traps you see on websites like this one that is hawking "miracle cures for cancer")

VAERS is a voluntary reporting system, it does not include any deaths by bus. Nor does Sharyl Attkisson hawk miracle cures so you seem to be talking complete nonsense.

When I go to her website I haven't been able to re-find the "doctors don't want you know about this cancer cure" link, but I have seen "A Teaspoon On An Empty Stomach Burns 4 Lbs Of Fat A Week Safely". Sounds like BS to me, but I'm not an expert

You're right that it's a voluntary system where anyone can report a negative outcome. If you look at VAERS, it includes a ton of reports like "I saw on Facebook that someone died". For example, look at VAERS report 1429304-1 it says "This spontaneous report received from a consumer via social media concerned multiple patients of unspecified ages with unknown ethnicity and race. The patient's weight, height, and medical history were not reported.". Literally, shitposting on the Johnson & Johnson facebook page leads to a VAERS report. There's quite a few from Pfizer's facebook page as well.

I couldn't find any deaths by bus, but I did find a death from a car crash (1180840-1). There's also a VAERS report (1082804-1) for someone who stepped in front of a semi truck on the highway.

VAERS also includes multiple people who died after being vaccinated while they were already in hospice. I think if someone was already in hospice for their terminal condition, it's unlikely that the vaccine is the cause of death (e.g. VAERS IDs 0921880-1, a 96 man who was vaccinated while in hospice and died the following day)
