The disingenuous perfunctory refrains of “safe and effective,” “rare side effects” and “generally mild” are presented by public health officials as unquestionable truisms about COVID-19 vaccines, requiring no scientific data to justify them.
In the CDC’s intermediate-term (minimum 90 days) follow-up of myocarditis reports in VAERS published Sept. 21 in The Lancet, the CDC reports, “To our knowledge, no deaths occurred during follow-up among the patients eligible for the survey.” In public testimony to Congress (at 1:51:52) regarding deaths following COVID-19 vaccination reported in VAERS, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky stated, “Every one of those [deaths] is adjudicated.”
In the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) Oct. 19 presentation, once again the CDC relied on VAERS data alone (which are known to underestimate the risk of myocarditis by 3-4 times), reporting that the risk of myocarditis was “rare.” Using old data from its February ACIP presentation for the Oct. 19 meeting, the ACIP reported, “Most individuals with myocarditis/pericarditis have fully recovered at follow-up.”
