How The CDC Lied About Shot Injury – OpEd

A 15 January 2021 memo from General Dynamics Information Technology to the CDC stated that COVID-19 VAERS reports had far exceeded the estimated maximum of 1,000 per day, rendering the contractor unable to meet processing timeframes.

The CDC’s 19 February 2021 MMWR, based on only 6,994 reports, concluded that the vaccines showed “reassuring safety profiles” and no evidence of unexpected serious adverse events, even though the article notes that roughly 107,000 reports already existed and that 9.2 percent of the examined reports involved serious injury.

The piece alleges that the agency understated report volume and death counts, never corrected the record, and that the vaccines remain available and mandated in some settings despite later VAERS figures of millions of reports and tens of thousands of death reports.

The month was January 2021, only a few weeks into the mass rollout of the injection called a vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had outsourced its collection of data from the VAERS system – designed to monitor vaccine safety – to General Dynamics Information Technology. GDIT wrote the CDC a memo dated January 15. 

“The number of incoming COVID-19 reports has significantly exceeded the estimated maximum of 1,000 reports per day,” the memo to the CDC said. “As a result, GDIT is unable to meet processing and other timeframes (data processing, telephone inquiries, clinical inquiries, etc.). GDIT has reache [sic.] out to the Pogram [sic.] office and OAS for guidance and support.”

Indeed, the floods of reports were many times the “worst-case scenario” that General Dynamics had anticipated, so it admitted that it could no longer process them. 

The five-alarm fire should have been obvious. At that very instant, if not long before, the shots should have been pulled. Banned immediately for all groups. Apologies should have been offered. Industry executives should have been put on trial because later document releases proved........
