 OpenVAERS is run by "a small team of people with vaccine injuries or who have children with vaccine injuries."((//Who is behind OpenVAERS?// (2022, April 21). OpenVAERS. https://web.archive.org/web/20230105212943/https://openvaers.com/faq/who-is-behind-openvaers))
+===== History =====
+In August 2021, [[VICE]] author [[David Gilbert]] doxxed OpenVAERS founder [[Liz Willner]], revealing her identity, social media accounts and prior employment details after identifying her through [[WHOIS]] records.((Gilbert, D. (2021, August 12). //David Gilbert’s tweet - "OpenVAERS is a website that is presenting unverified federal data about vaccine deaths as fact. It’s become wildly popular in anti-vaxxer communities. Now, thanks to research from @LogicallyAI, we can exclusively reveal who’s running it"// Trendsmap. https://archive.ph/EFoV3)) Gilbert further accused Willner of spreading "anti-vax misinformation,"
+which Willner strongly disagreed with.((Gilbert, D. (2021, August 12). //This Woman Secretly Runs One of the World’s Biggest Anti-Vax Websites From Her House.// VICE News. https://archive.ph/BhhQf)) The VICE article cited a previous investigation published by [[Logically]] which provided much of Willner's private information, and revealed that OpenVAERS was "outperforming" VAERS in terms of traffic.((Khandelwal, D., Backovic, N., & Miller, E. (2021, August 12). //California Woman Behind Anti-Vax Site Outperforming Government Database.// Logically. https://web.archive.org/web/20221231012904/https://www.logically.ai/articles/california-woman-anti-vax-site-openvaers))
