One file, one row per report with everything, even revision history and deleted reports. This is for the serious data analysts to improve their results but also now anyone can search VAERS more easily. Each week, VAERS data from the CDC is many files, multiple years, a file for symptom-entry labels, another for vaccine info and a third for other data with free-text about the harm and so on, plus USA and “foreign” are separated.
My man! I'm already using your flat file for "up-coding" all these serious SAE's they have sitting in the None of Above bucket. Like this: https://imgur.com/gallery/uBZz4sf. WYSIWYG like Openvaers & Medalerts, then some more dynamic views like vaersaware and your stuff! We don't need no stink'n badges!
Keeping track of all VAERS_IDs newly showing up each week since the start of covid. At the end, a count of the number of gaps that were never filled in.
And the print of the number each week in the run output is what I used for the chart.
Edit: A weekly never_published.txt file has been added at the flatfile link above.

Tremendous work, thank you
I am just curious if anyone has done an analysis on the deleted records. Was CDC attempting to cover up how bad it was?

WOW. Thank you!
Just wondering - the graph of VAERS Reports never published - where is this from?
Maybe I read through too quickly and missed it.
I will go back and read all of this slower and take notes.
Sure thing, happy to help.
never_published in the source code.

The data set is interesting but always keep in mind it's only 1/100th of actual due to underreported.
