CDC Director Admits Agency Gave False Information on COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Monitoring
In May, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky admitted that the agency had “underperformed” and vowed to “rebuild public trust.” Those efforts took a big hit on Tuesday when the agency admitted they shared false information to the public regarding COVID vaccine safety monitoring.
The director made the startling admission in a written statement made public on Monday.
According to the Epoch Times, the statement acknowledges that the CDC “did not analyze certain types of adverse event reports at all in 2021, despite the agency previously saying it started in February 2021.”
An excerpt from the statement from Dr. Walensky reads:
“CDC performed PRR analysis between March 25, 2022, through July 31, 2022. CDC also recently addressed a previous statement made to the Epoch Times to clarify PRR were not run between February 26, 2021, to September 30, 2021.
Walensky’s admission stands in stark contrast to repeated promises to perform regular analysis of reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
In June, the CDC announced they did not perform analysis of reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (so-called PRRs), noting that such reviews were “outside th[e] agency’s purview.”
