CDC Won’t Release Latest Information on Post COVID Vaccine Heart Conditions
The CDC hasn’t updated the data on myocarditis and pericarditis in almost a year.
The CDC won’t release new data of reported cases of heart conditions after someone gets the COVID-19 vaccine.
The CDC has already confirmed the vaccine can cause myocarditis and pericarditis. Both are heart-inflammatory conditions.
That’s weird because the government is pushing people to get a new COVID vaccine this fall:
The agency has regularly conveyed the number of post-vaccination myocarditis and pericarditis cases to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which it helps manage, as it has consulted with its advisers on updates to the vaccines.
But during a meeting on Sept. 12, the CDC didn’t mention VAERS data.
Asked for the information, a CDC spokesman pointed to a CDC study that covers data only through Oct. 23, 2022.
A CDC spokesman told The Epoch Times, “When appropriate, the updated safety data will be published.”
The CDC has it but won’t release it.
The study released last year mentioned nine possible cases of myocarditis and pericarditis in young people after bivalent COVID vaccines, which came out in September 22.
The bivalent vaccine’s formula covered the original COVID and the Omicron variants.
Medical reviews confirmed seven cases.
New vaccines have labels warning of myocarditis:
“Postmarketing data with authorized or approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccines demonstrate increased risks of myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly within the first week following vaccination,” the labels state. While some people have recovered, others have not. The labels also say, “Information is not yet available about potential long-term sequelae.”
Vaccine reactions are submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Anyone can submit a report, but the majority come from healthcare professionals. Anyone can view the VAERS data.
The Epoch Times reviewed it for 2023:
Through Sept. 8, 98 cases of myocarditis, pericarditis, or myopericarditis were reported to VAERS following bivalent vaccination, according to a search of the system by The Epoch Times.
Although anybody can submit reports to VAERS, research has shown that most reports are entered by health care providers. People who submit false information can face prosecution.
Five reports were for people aged 6 to 17 years, and another 13 were for people aged 18 to 29.

Comments
Given the precedent of deliberate government lies when they do something wrong, and in this specific case that every day the news has reports of people who are both relatively young and in good shape [a lot of athletes] who suddenly are dropping dead with no cause of death ever listed; it would not be unreasonable to assume that the recent mass vaccination for COVID may be having some side effects. It would also not be unreasonable for people to start answering government spokes-critters who are pushing another mass vaccination for COVID with a sentence that starts, “ You can fold it until it is all corners . . .“.

All information that the CDC has is public information, right? What justifies the CDC withholding it? It appears that the only cure is to totally defund the CDC and start over.
There is plenty of data available to draw conclusions, the media just doesn’t seem interested. One of the best sources is a Brit named Dr. John Campbell. Check out his YouTube channel. I think his dry manner of speaking allows him to evade a lot of censorship.
The information is public. You’re free to look at it if you like. The CDC is not withholding anything, but it is not required to publish whatever anyone demands of it, on demand.

>>The CDC has it but won’t release it.<<
Then you file a FOIA request for all the relevant data on post-covid vaccine heart complications to date and then sue the heck out of them when they refuse to release the information.
Again, the information is publicly available. FOIA does not require the CDC to do your homework for you.
And no, there’s no support for the claim that the CDC “has” it.
It is my understanding that government agencies must hand over any information in their possession when a Freedom of Information Act request is made. Am i wrong in that?
This information is already public. You are perfectly capable of looking it up. They are not required to do your homework for you, just because you’re too lazy to do it yourself.
There’s no indication that the collated report this person wants to see is in the CDC’s “possession”. It can prepare such a report, but right now it doesn’t feel like it. Why should it? It’s an effort and expense, and for what? It will do one eventually, but in the meantime if you want to see such a report you do the work of collating it, from publicly available information.
Then smartass provide a link to that information that is “publicly available” as you claim. A link to that information. Right here in the comment section. Failure to provide the link will just indicate your blowing wind up people’s ass. So provide the link to the information to date or STFU.
And yes, if you read the damn post the state the CDC has such data but will release such information when the damn well please. So don’t know where you get the claim that there is no “support for the claim that the CDC “has” it”. They admit they have the fucking information and are not willing to release it.
So get off off your fucking high horse with this shit you’re posting. They have the information and are withholding it from the public.
Yes, a FOIA demand to the CDC does require them to do the “homework” for a person. They must either respond with the documents in question or they must produce a letter denying anything exists and/or why they are denying the demand. It’s the law and they must obey it. No exceptions.
The link is VAERS. You can look that up yourself.
And no, there is nothing to indicate that the CDC has already prepared a report on the VAERS information and is sitting on it. That is just the Epoch Times making things up with no basis in fact. They have the information in the exact same way that you do: it’s on VAERS and you can look it up just like they can. And no, FOIA does not require them to prepare the report; they will simply tell you no such report exists because they haven’t prepared it yet. They will prepare it when they feel like it. If you don’t want to wait, prepare it yourself.
Smartass, show me the quote from the CDC that they are sitting on anything. You can’t, because there is no such quote.
They do not have that right.
So? They’re reliably Leftist, so they do whatever they please, the law be damned. And they get away with it because nobody in authority has the spine to rein them in.
It’s Epoch Times, so a grain of salt is called for.
Who, as we all know, are pillars of integrity beyond all questioning.
Also, whose research shows this? What percentage of reports did it find are not filed by such providers?
These are all questions we ask about pro-vaccine claims; it’s only fair to ask it about anti-vaccine claims too.
Perhaps in theory, but has anyone ever been prosecuted?
I think it’s fair to say that there is nothing over and underreporting but I don’t think it’s a wash. Most docs who dished out the vax don’t want to be associated with vax side effects. I’ve personally seen several quick to dismiss links before even exploring them.
*nothing was an autocorrect of “both”
I don’t think it’s a wash either; I think VAERS from its very inception has been a garbage site, full of bogus reports filed by people pursuing various causes, either because they’re cranks or because they’re creating evidence for a lawsuit.
Remember that evil monster Wakefield originally published his so-called “study” that claimed to have found a link between the MMR shot and autism, for the purpose of creating a career for himself as an expert witness in parents’ lawsuits that would result.
Considering what a pain the ass it is to submit a VAERS report, I’m going to posit that people are not spending that time and effort submitting bogus reports.
And I’m going to posit that you’re full of shit. VAERS is worse than Wikipedia, because at least on WP there are thousands of people who clean up bogus information (which is known as “vandalism”). On VAERS nobody cleans it up.
Lawyers post false reports to support litigation. Activists and cranks post false reports to support the bees in their various bonnets. It’s garbage.
People need to learn to look at the world around them and draw conclusions based on what information they can trust.
Sadly, we are learning some sources aren’t as reliable as we once hoped they were.
“Postmarketing data with authorized or approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccines demonstrate increased risks of myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly within the first week following vaccination,” the labels state. While some people have recovered, others have not. The labels also say, “Information is not yet available about potential long-term sequelae.”
And how many times have you gone in for a vaccine and seen the label on the bottle?? I can count them with 0 fingers.
The only vaccine I have taken in decades was shingles. I was, in fact, presented by CVS with a huge disclaimer on two pages of paper that I had to sign first, information that I assume corresponded with the bottle label.
The number of cases in young men and women seem very small considering the number of injections of this experimental gene therapy as all other vaccines have side effects. The difference here, I think, is that young people are in less danger from getting Covid than the number of side effects and this stuff has no long term data. The current booster has not even been tested on humans. Do not take this nonsense, folks.
There is nothing more dangerous to a democratic republic than secrecy. This applies to agencies at all levels of government. We cannot decide about issues that affect us of which we know little or nothing.
Nothing is being kept secret here. If you want to know what information (of dubious quality) is on VAERS, you’re free to look it up.
Out of 20 employees who were Covid vaccinated, 2 are now on pacemakers following attacks of myocarditis. We’ve been suspicious of a connection for at least the last year and a half. One is a woman in her mid 50s and the other in her early 60s. There was absolutely no history in either case of heart problems.
When govt agencies don’t produce easily searchable reports and summaries of the trends from the data they collect one should assume the worst. Especially so when they stop updating existing reports. Even more so when the anecdotal experience and perception of the public regarding the data indicates problems that the govt agencies would rather not discuss b/c it might conflict with the ideology of the bureaucracy and/or put their prior decisions, policy recommendations, advice, assurances and pronouncements at risk of collapse from additional information being provided.
Bottom line is the govt agencies and the bureaucracy which staffs them have their own agenda and it often conflicts with the expectations of the taxpaying public who fund them. The bureaucracy doesn’t ever want to disclose their errors lest their gravy train end.
What do you mean “when they stop updating existing reports”? When has it ever been the practice to constantly update reports? They issued the last report less than a year ago. They will issue another one when they get around to it. They’re not required to do so daily, weekly, or monthly. They’ve never issued this that frequently before and there’s no reason they should start doing so now.
