What happens when the system designed to detect vaccine safety signals may be missing them?

In this episode, Dr. Ryan Cole sits down with Dr. David Wiseman, PhD, for an update following Sen. Ron Johnson’s recent hearing on COVID-19 vaccine safety signal detection.

VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, is a national early warning system that collects reports of health events after vaccination and helps identify potential safety signals that deserve further investigation.

Dr. Wiseman explains how VAERS data is analyzed, how safety signals may be missed or obscured, and why transparent pharmacovigilance matters for patients, physicians, informed consent, and public trust.

They discuss:

• What VAERS is and why it matters

• What was revealed during the recent Senate hearing

• How statistical methods can influence safety signal detection

• Why Dr. Wiseman’s work matters for transparency and accountability

• What this means for informed consent and restoring trust

This conversation is about asking better questions, strengthening accountability, and using honest data to better protect patients.
