How the FDA and CDC Are Hiding COVID Jab Dangers

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

 Fact Checked
November 11, 2022

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
 The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has publicly warned that COVID is
one of the Top 10 causes of death in children aged 5 to 11, yet when asked to produce
the data, they admitted they never conducted an analysis for that age group

 The CDC has also lied about Pfizer’s study results. While claiming the Pfizer jab was 92%
effective for those with previous COVID infection, the actual trial data found NO evidence
of efficacy in those with previous infection

 In July 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration quietly disclosed finding an increase
in four types of serious adverse events in elderly people who received Pfizer’s COVID jab:
acute myocardial infarction, disseminated intravascular coagulation, immune
thrombocytopenia, and pulmonary embolism. However, more than a year later, that study
still has not been published

 The FDA is also hiding other studies. Buried inside a study protocol, the FDA discusses
findings from an unpublished “cohort study of the third dose safety in the Medicare
population where historical controls were used.” In that Medicare study the FDA found a
significant risk for immune thrombocytopenia and acute myocardial infarction among
those with prior COVID-19 diagnosis, as well as an increased risk of Bell’s palsy and
pulmonary embolism in general

 Analysis of the CDC’s Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Reports (MMWR) reveals the CDC
is systematically (and automatically) hiding jab-related deaths, particularly in categories
like cancer, cardiac deaths and strokes, to make the shots appear unrelated to excess
deaths
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention jointly run and, allegedly, monitor the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting
System (VAERS) for safety signals.

Both agencies have been blatantly derelict in their duties in this regard, as the safety
signals in VAERS have been screaming for attention since the first quarter of 2021. Yet
both the FDA and CDC claim they’ve found nothing of concern. Nothing at all.

They’re so unconcerned they even added the COVID jabs to the childhood vaccination
schedule, with the first jab series to be given to toddlers and babies as young as 6
months. Meanwhile, data from around the world, including data in VAERS,1 V-Safe and
the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), suggest these shots are the
deadliest in the history of vaccines. No other product comes even close.

CDC Invents Facts to Drive a Narrative

In the video above, Megyn Kelly interviews Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about the difficulty in
determining how many lives may have been saved by the COVID shots, versus how
many lives have been lost because of them, and highlights some of the outright false
statements issued by the CDC.

For example, the CDC has publicly warned that COVID is one of the Top 10 causes of
death in children aged 5 to 11, yet when asked to produce the data, they admitted they
never conducted an analysis for that age group.

So how did they conclude that COVID is a top cause of death in an age group they’ve
never analyzed mortality data for? The rational conclusion is that they just made it up.

As noted by Kennedy, the CDC is also discouraging autopsies of people who die post-
jab, and they’re engaging in a whole host of other obfuscation tactics that make good
data hard to come by, and this has been going on since the very beginning of the
pandemic.
FDA Is Withholding Crucial Study Findings

The FDA is also guilty of massive data obfuscation. In a recent BMJ article,2
investigative journalist Maryanne Demasi discusses the FDA’s failure to follow up on and
release data showing an increase in serious adverse events in elderly individuals who
received the Pfizer shot:

“In July 2021 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) quietly disclosed
findings of a potential increase in four types of serious adverse events in elderly
people who had had Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine: acute myocardial infarction,
disseminated intravascular coagulation, immune thrombocytopenia, and
pulmonary embolism.

Little detail was provided, such as the magnitude of the increased potential risk,
and no press release or other alert was sent to doctors or the public. The FDA
promised it would ‘share further updates and information with the public as they
become available.’

Eighteen days later, the FDA published a study planning document (or protocol)
outlining a follow-up epidemiological study intended to investigate the matter
more thoroughly.

This recondite technical document disclosed the unadjusted relative risk ratio
estimates originally found for the four serious adverse events, which ranged
from 42% to 91% increased risk. (Neither absolute risk increases nor confidence
intervals were provided.)

More than a year later, however, the status and results of the follow-up study are
unknown. The agency has not published a press release, or notified doctors, or
published the findings by preprint or the scientific literature or updated the
vaccine’s product label.

The BMJ has also learnt that the FDA has not publicly warned of similar signals
detected in a separate observational cohort study3 it conducted of the third
 dose (first booster dose) in the elderly ...

[Nor] has the agency publicly acknowledged other published observational

studies or clinical trial reanalyses reporting compatible results. Experts spoke
to The BMJ about their concerns about the data and have called on the FDA to
notify the public immediately.”

Serious Side Effects in Seniors Are Being Hidden

As explained by Demasi,4 the July 2021 findings came from a surveillance system called
Rapid Cycle Analysis (RCA), which provides “near real-time” monitoring of 14 “adverse
events of special interest.” Like VAERS and other surveillance tools, the RCA cannot
establish causality, but unlike the others, its strength lies in detecting potential safety
signals more rapidly.

The FDA’s protocol document for the planned follow-up study indicates that a
manuscript of the original RCA study is being prepared, but more than a year later,
neither the original RCA study nor the follow-up study have been published. Why?

The FDA is also hiding other studies. Buried inside yet another study protocol, the FDA
discusses findings from “a cohort study of the third dose safety in the Medicare
population where historical controls were used.” In that Medicare study, the FDA found:

“... a statistically significant risk for immune thrombocytopenia (incidence rate

ratio 1.66, confidence interval 1.17 to 2.29) and acute myocardial infarction
(IRR 1.15, CI 1.02 to 1.29) among people with prior COVID-19 diagnosis as well
as an increased risk of Bell’s palsy (IRR 1.11, CI 1.03 to 1.19) and pulmonary
embolism (IRR 1.05, CI 1.0001 to 1.100) in general.”

Why were those results buried in a study protocol and never published or announced to
the public? As noted by Dr. Joseph Fraiman, an emergency medicine physician in New
Orleans, “If the FDA is stating publicly that they’re collecting [data], then they should be
publicly reporting it. They shouldn’t be burying the results in protocols as they’ve done.”5
Dutch epidemiologist and president of the International Society of Drug Bulletins, Dick
Bijl, agrees, telling Demasi that any warning signals found in July 2021 “should have
been analyzed and published within months.”

Reanalysis of Trial Data Confirms Safety Problems

Fraiman is particularly concerned as his team recently reanalyzed data from the Pfizer
and Moderna Phase 3 trials, finding results that match those that the FDA are now
hiding.

Their reanalysis,6 which focused on serious adverse events highlighted in a World Health
Organization-endorsed ‘priority list7 of potential adverse events relevant to the COVID-19
shots, found Pfizer’s shot was associated with an increased risk of serious adverse
events at a rate of 10.1 events per 10,000. The rate for Moderna’s jab was 15.1 events
per 10,000.

“ The shots are far more likely to land you in the

hospital than COVID-19 itself. For every 800 jab
recipients, one person will suffer a serious injury.
Meanwhile, some 5,000 must get the Pfizer jab to
prevent a single COVID hospitalization.
”
Fraiman’s analysis stressed that this level of risk for a post-injection event was
significantly greater than the risk reduction for COVID-related hospitalization found in
both trials, which was only 2.3 per 10,000 participants in the Pfizer trial and 6.4 per
10,000 in the Moderna trial.

In short, the shots are far more likely to land you in the hospital than COVID-19 itself. For
every 800 jab recipients, one person will suffer a serious injury. Meanwhile, some 5,000
must get the Pfizer jab to prevent a single COVID hospitalization. This is what risk-
benefit analysis is all about — comparing and weighing the benefit against the risk —
and in this case, the jab clearly does more harm than good.

Scandinavian Study Confirms Cardiovascular Risks

Demasi also cites an observational study8 from Denmark, Finland and Norway, which
found “statistically significant increases in thromboembolic and thrombocytopenic
outcomes following both Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines.” As reported by the
authors:

“In the 28-day period following vaccination, there was an increased rate of
coronary artery disease following mRNA-1273 [Moderna] vaccination: RR, 1.13
... There was an observed increased rate of coagulation disorders following all
3 vaccines (AZD1222 [AstraZeneca]: RR, 2.01]; BNT162b2 [Pfizer]: RR, 1.12; and
mRNA-1273: RR, 1.26) ...

There was also an observed increased rate of cerebrovascular disease

following all 3 vaccines (AZD1222: RR, 1.32; BNT162b2: RR, 1.09; and mRNA-
1273: RR, 1.21 ...

For individual diseases within the main outcomes, 2 notably high rates were
observed: 12.04 for cerebral venous thrombosis and 4.29 for thrombocytopenia,
corresponding to 1.6 and 4.9 excess events per 100 000 doses, respectively,
following AZD1222 vaccination.”

Christine Stabell Benn, a vaccinologist and professor in global health at the University of
Southern Denmark told Demasi:9

“The safety signal seems to be gathering around cardiovascular and cerebral

vascular events, things to do with circulation and our larger organs, and these
are the same signals that appear to be popping up in the FDA surveillance data
as well ...
 It seems to me that doctors have a much higher tolerance for COVID vaccine
side effects because there’s been this sense that if you don’t take the vaccine,
you die. Obviously, that is completely the wrong way to think about it.

We don’t want to create a lot of unnecessary anxiety and we can’t say there is
now proof that the vaccines cause these events because the data are of poor
quality, but we can say there is a danger signal, and the medical profession
needs to be alerted to this.”

Jab Makers Intentionally Botched Trials

The primary reason for why the data is of “poor quality” is the fact that the COVID shots
“were not tested properly” from the start, Stabell Benn notes. The control groups were
eliminated by giving them the real shots a few months into the Phase 3 trials, which
makes it near-impossible to evaluate long-term side effects — problems that might arise
many months or years later. This seems to have been done intentionally, for that very
reason.

Without a proper control group, any and all side effects can be written off as normal, as
there’s no documented unjabbed group to compare with. Many of us did not get the jab,
but there are no data about us (our health status and so forth) in the trial, so true
comparisons become problematic.

Are Data Withheld to Prevent Establishment of Causation?

Earlier this year, the CDC admitted it was deliberately withholding data for fear they may
be “misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective” and/or be misconstrued as
confirming causation.10 This is not how real science should be conducted.

To ever reach the conclusion that the shots are causing injury, data are needed, and lots
of it. By withholding crucial data, the CDC is effectively preventing that conclusion from
being reached. Its excuse so far has been that there are “no data” to indicate there’s a
problem. Meanwhile, they’re sitting on data that indicate just that!
CDC Lied About Pfizer Study Results

In addition to hiding data, the CDC has also lied about trial results. As noted in an
October 31, 2022, tweet from Rep. Thomas Massie:11

“Pfizer’s original vaccine trial, which contained 1,200 participants with evidence
of prior infection, showed no benefit from their shots for those who had
evidence of prior infection. CDC lied, said study showed it was 92% efficacious
for those w/ evidence of prior infection.”

Massie — a Republican Congressman for Kentucky and an award-winning scientist —

initially revealed the CDC’s error in January 2021, after having tried, in vain, to get the
CDC to correct it. I detailed Massie’s efforts in “Why Do Public Health Agencies Reject
Natural Immunity?” At the time, Massie said:12,13

“There is no efficacy demonstrated in the Pfizer trial among participants with

evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infections and actually there's no proof in the
Moderna trial either … It [the CDC report] says the exact opposite of what the
data says.”
Latest COVID Variant Favors the Jabbed 3 to 1

In related news, October 25, 2022, the Ethical Skeptic — a data analyst and fraud
investigator — tweeted14 out a graphic showing the latest COVID variant, dubbed BQ, is
infecting the jabbed at a rate of 3-to-1 compared to the unjabbed. It also appears to
favor those who got jabbed more recently.

CDC Has Automated Data Falsification

A day earlier The Ethical Skeptic posted the second installment15 of his “Houston, the
CDC Has a Problem” series, in which he details how the CDC is systematically
manipulating the data to hide signs of COVID jab dangers.
Using data from the CDC’s Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Reports (MMWR), he shows
how the CDC hides and deletes excess jab-related deaths, particularly in categories like
cancer, cardiac deaths and strokes. In June 2022, the CDC temporarily paused its
MMWR reporting to perform a “system upgrade.” That lasted two months.

When it came back online, large numbers of deaths jab-related categories had been
moved, either into the COVID death category or a “holding” category for undetermined
deaths, thereby making it appear as though deaths from cancer, heart attacks and
strokes are far lower than they are. This gaming of the algorithm appears to have been
automated as of that system update. Here’s an excerpt from Part 2, in which The Ethical
Skeptic summarizes his findings:16

“The principal concerns with regard to the US Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention ‘Weekly Provisional Counts of Deaths by State and Select Causes’17
and ‘Wonder: Provisional Mortality Statistics’18 are that the reports have begun
to exhibit two primary apparent goals on the part of the CDC and its agency:

concealing excess deaths potentially caused by the mRNA vaccines, and

attempting to make mRNA vaccines falsely appear as uber-effective in saving

lives.

Please note that we will not resolve an answer to either of these issues in this
article, rather herein we will only outline the efforts in disinformation,
misinformation, and deception on the part of the CDC which are foisted in an
attempt to achieve both goals. Accordingly, four key issues are entailed inside
this two-sided-coin deception:

1. The National Vital Statistics System Upgrade (hereinafter referred to as the

‘NVSS System Upgrade’) afforded the CDC a timeframe inside which it could
alter 22 weeks of NCHS-MMWR data.

During this window of opportunity the CDC surreptitiously removed excess death
records from its database, and adjusted the policies and techniques as to how
 ICD-10 mortality codes were populated with state death certificate data
thereafter.

We outline herein that a new policy was enacted during the NVSS System
Upgrade break, one which centered around two categorical gaming practices.
The CDC is employing categorical gaming techniques to conceal dramatic
Excess Non-COVID Natural Cause Mortality.

If these excess deaths are not COVID deaths and are not vaccine related, as is
commonly claimed through appeals to authority, credential, and ignorance, then
there should also be no reason to conceal their associated records. Yet, that is
exactly what is occurring.

2. Excess Cancer Mortality is being concealed through Cancer Multiple Cause of

Death (hereinafter referred to as ‘MCoD’) categorical reassignment to COVID-19
Underlying Cause of Death (hereinafter referred to as ‘UCoD’).

3. Sudden Adult Deaths are being concealed by holding Pericarditis-Myocarditis-

Conductive heart related deaths inside the R00-R99 temporary disposition
bucket, far longer than per historical practice, thereby falsely depleting the
associated ICD-10 mortality trend for these related deaths.

Finally, the CDC is using the exact opposite technique, exploiting Multiple Cause
of Death attributions and adding in completely fictitious deaths as well, in order
to make its mRNA vaccines appear to be performing better than they are.

4. The CDC is using Multiple Cause of Death categorical gaming, and is creating
novel death counts, in order to counterfeit an appearance that the unvaccinated
are dying at a rate 12 times that of the vaccinated.”

22-Sigma Increase in Cardiac Deaths

The article contains loads of charts and graphs and extra details for those who want to
dig in. But in summary, the analysis performed by The Ethical Skeptic raises serious
questions about the CDC’s handling of mortality data, as it appears to be manipulating
statistics specifically for the purpose of hiding post-jab deaths.

On the upside, The Ethical Skeptic believes the CDC’s mirage will soon fall apart, as the
data is already starting to get misaligned to the point that fraud is self-evident.

For example, since the system upgrade, 25% of all weekly COVID deaths just so happen
to also be dying of cancer. “Such constitutes an impossibility in this important mortality
account ledger, one which is analogous to the same species of mistake an embezzler
might make,” he writes.

Similarly, the temporary “holding” bucket has grown by 70% since the introduction of the
COVID shots, and the CDC is simply leaving them there. At present, there are 35,600
pericarditis, myocarditis and conductive disorder deaths that remain unaccounted for in
U.S. cardiac mortality statistics.

If just 18% of these deaths were properly coded back into their heart-related deaths,
there would be a 22-sigma increase in cardiac mortality. Based on the CDC’s data,
having properly recategorized the miscategorized deaths, The Ethical Skeptic estimates
there are now 385,000 excess deaths related to the jabs.

Justice for Vaccine Victims Act

Marjorie Taylor Greene, House representative for Georgia's 14th Congressional district,
recently introduced HR 7308, the Justice for Vaccine Victims Act of 2022, which would
require an investigation into COVID jab injuries reported to VAERS to be completed
within three months of the bill’s enactment.

The bill would also remove liability protections “that apply to the administration or use
of certain medical countermeasures (e.g., vaccines) during the public health
emergency.”19

Last but not least, November 1, 2022, Judicial Watch announced20 it is suing the
Department of Health and Human Services (DHS) for all of its safety studies relating to
vaccines and gene therapies to treat or prevent COVID.

All in all, it seems the wheels are coming off the COVID jab bus. Sparks are already
flying. The FDA and CDC could have saved themselves by coming clean a few months
into the COVID jab scam. At this point, there’s no way to save face, let alone anyone’s
career. Both agencies are doomed, as are their leadership.
