That form requires a medical report otherwise it gets rejected like here in Canada. Sure you can start the process as anyone, but VAERS has a moderation team like any system.
One thing you fail to note is this system is legally required by healthcare professionals to submit claims through.
What you do when you diminish a legally required reporting system is you create distrust in something healthcare professionals must report to
Folks, bobbysgoat needs to go to the site, do some reading, and get their facts straight. Right at the top of the page it says "The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences. Anyone can submit a report to VAERS, including parents and patients." https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html
They're either ignorant of the facts or purposely spreading misinformation about this.
Healthcare providers are required by law to report to VAERS:
Any adverse event listed in the VAERS Table of Reportable Events Following Vaccination that occurs within the specified time period after vaccinations
An adverse event listed by the vaccine manufacturer as a contraindication to further doses of the vaccine
You are the liar. This is the official reporting system required by law for healthcare professionals. By claiming "anyone can use it" is an attempt to discredit it.
By claiming "anyone can use it" is an attempt to discredit it.
Folks, by claiming only medical professionals can submit to VAERS this user is either unwilling to look at the page or deliberately lying,
Ask yourself, folks, why this person is insisting so strongly that only medical people can submit incidents to VAERS, when the very first sentence on the reporting form says this: "The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences. Anyone can submit a report to VAERS, including parents and patients." There is a second form for health professionals, but it is not - as this user is insisting - the only form.
Further down the page we are told there is no follow-up with whoever reports something, unless they left out a required field, and then it will just be to collect the missing information.
If you doubt any of this go to their site and fill out a form yourself. Just don't submit it.
Discrediting a legally required reporting system using the pretext that someone has create a log in identity on the system is disinformation.
By throwing "baby out with the bathwater" you are creating a chill that could stop health professionals reporting adverse reactions.
By completing "step 1" you are implying that a report has been submitted to VAERS and accepted, but this is not true as shown by the number of steps "every" submission must got through to be registered in the system. Just having a case ID created does not create a complete report.
By spreading this lie to people you are risking health perfessionals belief and reliance on this legally required reporting system. You could be causing some people to not report their adverse condition and get the help they may desperately need.
Folks, pretend you are a shit disturber who just wants to screw things up, or worse: someone who is purposely spreading misinformation to promote unrest and weaken a society.
With that in mind, ignore that link - which looks to be for medical professionals - and go instead to https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html, where the very first thing it says is " "The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences. Anyone can submit a report to VAERS, including parents and patients." Anyone who is willing to lie and confident they won't get caught can fake their way through the process of reporting a fictitious reaction to the vaccine.
"Anyone", in this case, includes vandals and disruptors. Here are a couple of articles about it.:

Read the steps.
That form you reference is just the onboarding step 1.
You will be rejected if you do not do the next steps.
So no "just anyone" cannot make a submission.
