The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has finally released data detailing people’s experiences with COVID-19 vaccines following a court order.
The data comes from the CDC’s V-safe text messaging system, which is designed to monitor for potential vaccine side effects. They have long refused to share the data with the public, opting instead to simply publish studies of the reports that aim to reassure people the shots are safe. However, data released in 2022 showed that eight percent of the system’s 10 million users needed hospital care or medical attention following their vaccine, and many more had to miss work, school or their usual activities while they dealt with the jab’s side effects.
Now, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, ordered the agency to release the free-text entries in which people were prompted to describe their experiences with the jab in their own words. The government unsuccessfully tried to block this, arguing that processing the responses and redacting private information would be too difficult, but the judge ruled that the information must be released.
The free-text part of the surveys was the only section where people could report adverse events, despite the fact that the CDC had known for quite some time that the jabs could cause heart inflammation, myocarditis and pericarditis.
So far, we have already seen the first two tranches, which are made up of 780,000 reports from just over half a million individuals. Not surprisingly, there are numerous reports of heart inflammation, seizures, tinnitus, facial paralysis and miscarriages.
Some people described experiencing allergic reactions, while others recounted extreme fatigue and loss of appetite. For several people, their symptoms were so bad that they thought about ending their lives.
For example, one person wrote: “For 24 hrs after [the] shot I was so fatigued I could not stay awake. I also have some very strong suicidal thoughts. Zero appetite.”
Another wrote: “Loss of consciousness and seizure immediately following injection. Went to ER by ambulance,” while a different patient noted: “Diagnosed with Bells Palsy today due to left-sided facial numbness and paralysis.”
The order to release the data was part of litigation on behalf of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), a nonprofit that has been pursuing the release of numerous important pandemic-related government files.
The fact that the group had to sue the CDC to share information that should have already been readily available to the public strongly suggests there is information in there that they were hoping Americans would not find out about.
The National Vaccine Information Center’s president and cofounder, Barbara Loe Fisher, said: “ICAN had to sue the Centers for Disease Control in order to gain access to the COVID-19 shot V-safe adverse event data, which is yet another shameful chapter in the decades-long history of federal health officials trying to cover up vaccine risks by ignoring patterns of vaccine reaction symptoms in reports made to the government.”
She added that when multiple people report the same symptoms, as happened here with problems like shortness of breath and heart palpitations, the CDC should be warning the public instead of trying to cover it up.
“It raises questions about what else government health officials are hiding,” she added.
The entries do not have dates on them, and the group is now trying to press the CDC to release the dates of the reports so they can determine how long the CDC knew there was a problem. However, it is known that the entries are the earliest ones the CDC received, and V-safe was launched in conjunction with the vaccine rollout in late 2020. More entries will be released in the coming weeks on a rolling basis, and it will be interesting to find out more about what the CDC knew about these dangerous jabs and how long they denied it.
