The chart represents lawsuits filed and the subsequent settlements or dismissals, not number of cases. 'Deaths' means that a death occurred and a plaintiff has filed a suit claiming that the death was vaccine-related. This is not a chart that provides statistics about vaccine-related injury, it's a chart about lawsuits.
There were numerous lawsuits a few decades ago claiming that mishandling of deliveries by obstetricians caused cerebral palsy in infants. There were numerous enormous monetary awards from juries. The science demonstrated that cerebral palsy is not due to birth injury, but begins early in pregnancy. Nevertheless, the judgments stood.
I would look at CDC or WHO databases if I were looking for data on injuries. Even then, every negative sensation experienced by anyone who has received a vaccine within the past few weeks is recorded. There are no attempts to determine causation; it's a database that can, at most, provide information as to association.
Association does not infer causation.
