CDC Officials Admit Agency Has Withheld Critical Covid Information From the Public, Including Data About Breakthrough Infections, Over Fears of “Vaccine Hesitancy”

Throughout the pandemic, the CDC has diligently maintained a running tally of Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths for the public to view – you know, all of the numbers that make up the majority of virus fear porn.

But that information amounts to just a fraction of the data that has been collected by the agency.

According to a new report by the New York Times, the CDC has also been collecting much more detailed data about Covid infections that breaks down by age, race, and vaccination status. The critical information would go a long way towards figuring out an end to the pandemic, but the agency has purposefully suppressed the information from the public over fears that it would be “misinterpreted” and cause “vaccine hesitancy.”

In other words, the ‘experts’ in the US public health regime believe the plebs aren’t capable enough to interpret something themselves.

Within the data that has been withheld by the CDC are detailed information about breakthrough cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, which the agency has been collecting since the beginning of the vaccine rollout, according to officials who spoke to the NYT.

So much for the bogus lie that has been pushed by public health officials for months, claiming that breakthrough infections weren’t being tracked at all. The medical elites just decided to hide the data because it didn’t fit the approved narrative, and, naturally, blamed the potential for ‘misinformation’ as justification for the coverup.

From the New York Times:

Kristen Nordlund, a spokeswoman for the C.D.C., said the agency has been slow to release the different streams of data “because basically, at the end of the day, it’s not yet ready for prime time.” She said the agency’s “priority when gathering any data is to ensure that it’s accurate and actionable.”

Another reason is fear that the information might be misinterpreted, Ms. Nordlund said.”

The performance of vaccines and boosters, particularly in younger adults, is among the most glaring omissions in data the C.D.C. has made public.

Last year, the agency repeatedly came under fire for not tracking so-called breakthrough infections in vaccinated Americans, and focusing only on individuals who became ill enough to be hospitalized or die. The agency presented that information as risk comparisons with unvaccinated adults, rather than provide timely snapshots of hospitalized patients stratified by age, sex, race and vaccination status.

But the C.D.C. has been routinely collecting information since the Covid vaccines were first rolled out last year, according to a federal official familiar with the effort. The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public, the official said, because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective.

Ms. Nordlund confirmed that as one of the reasons. Another reason, she said, is that the data represents only 10 percent of the population of the United States. But the C.D.C. has relied on the same level of sampling to track influenza for years.”

Why would data about breakthrough infections fuel ‘vaccine hesitancy?’ Could it be because the numbers really look that bad?

What is the correct term for "Vaccine Hesitancy"?

Medically Informed public?

Scientific Objector?

Logical Citizen?

Sheep Dog?

Cue Captain Obvious. Of course such data would cause hesitation.

It has worked for most as the truth has led not for hesitancy, but outright refusal saving untold lives. Most rational folk reactions after learning the actual recipe of the untested swill they want all to inject into their body by lies, coercion and threats. What a system, eh?

Saw an article where a news agency FOIA’d NIH documents, received 292 pages all blacked out, every page. The bureaucrats and their agencies are running America with no consequence to their anti American behavior.

Their mandated vaccines don’t work, that is what they don’t want us to find out.

CDC flip-flops from early on made me more hesitant every time they reversed a previous ‘recommendation’ or mandate. And they seemed to have dozens of those the last 2 years.

I trust them less today than I did 2 years ago, and I was hesitant with much of their early misinformation: people dropping dead in the streets, highly contagious just by being nearly an inflected for a few seconds, etc.; those were just some of Fauci’s lies. And he continues spreading more even now.

When Republicans take back the congress nothing will change. The unelected bureaucrats have more power than our elected representatives. And it will stay that way because the R’s have no convictions or courage.

CDC admits it withheld data from the public because they didn’t want to create vaccine hesitancy

https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/cdc-admits-it-withheld-data-from?utm_source=url

This is from the NY Times. The truth is the data didn’t support their narrative so they hid it. Do you think they would hide the data if it showed the vaccines worked? Of course not!

Here’s the story on the CDC withholding data in the Gateway Pundit.

But blue pill people only read The New York Times.

OK, fine.

...snip..
Let’s be clear. The only way the vaccine data could be interpreted as ineffective by us “misinformation spreaders” is if the data shows the vaccines don’t work.

This is like the authors of the Bangladesh study not revealing that purple cloth masks showed no signal at all. Those authors deliberately hid that data from view to prevent mask hesitancy. They didn’t even mention it at all. Not a single sentence. Why? Because it destroys their study.

Similarly, the CDC long-standing policy is that no information can be released that may threaten the national vaccination initiative. This isn’t about public safety. This is about not letting the public know the vaccines are killing them.

Summary

Let’s be clear. The CDC hid the data because the data proves they were lying to us. That’s the real reason.

I "withhold" the fact that each glass of lemonade I sell at my lemonade stand contains a squirt of human urine.

I do this over fears that my customers might otherwise "hesitate" to purchase a glass.
