Why in the World Does the CDC Have to Rely on Data From Israel to Guide Our COVID-19 Response?
PJ Media ^ | 09/14/2021 | Stacey Lennox

The United States is a global leader in healthcare with exceptional hospitals, tremendous research capability, and billions in funding for medical research. Yet during the COVID-19 pandemic, our health agencies could not provide the detailed, concise data Americans needed to make decisions about their health and the health of their families. As I have pointed out, we know that 40% of the whitetail deer in Michigan have COVID-19 antibodies. We have no idea how many children under 12 have them.

Yet now that the FDA has granted full approval of the BioNTech COVID-19, TV doctors are in a frenzy over when the program can begin vaccinating children. Recently, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said children from the ages of five to 11 could be eligible to receive vaccines as soon as November. If you asked her, she would not be able to tell you with any precision how many children in this group have already recovered from COVID-19. Based on the CDC’s only study on natural immunity, she might tell you that data doesn’t matter.

Dr. Marty Makary, professor of medicine and surgeon at Johns Hopkins, wrote a scathing editorial in the Wall Street Journal pointing out the lack of actionable data coming out of our healthcare bureaucracies. He noted that our agencies based their recommendations about booster shots on data from Israel.

The Biden administration recently got the supporting data it needed to justify its booster plan. But not from the CDC. Another Israeli study showed that a booster resulted in a 10-fold reduction in severe Covid illness in people over 60. The results were published mere weeks after the study’s completion, not months later as often happens in the U.S.

According to Dr. Marty Makary, the CDC has 21,000 employees and an annual budget of $15 billion. He pointed out it also has data on more than 40 million Americans who tested positive for COVID-19 and the 200 million who are vaccinated.

The CDC stopped tracking breakthrough infections on May 1, 2021, unless the patient was hospitalized or died. So, while data from individual states like Connecticut and local reporting indicate breakthrough cases are rising as they did in Israel and the UK, the CDC does not either collect or report this data clearly and concisely.

“Calculating the rate of U.S. breakthrough infections and subsequent hospitalizations and deaths isn’t the Manhattan Project,” Makary wrote. “It’s Epidemiology 101.” Even The Atlantic reported the quality of the data on hospitalizations is not granular enough to give an accurate picture of how many Americans are suffering from a severe illness from COVID-19. Blanket testing and failure to develop criteria to indicate when a patient is suffering from severe symptoms related to COVID-19 and not a comorbidity cloud the data.

The answer to the question is rather academic:

CYA

ON NATURAL IMMUNITY

According to Dr. Makary's analysis, 15 studies are showing robust and durable natural immunity. Yet in the U.S., political and public health leaders stick to their original opinion that natural immunity is temporary. The CDC study showing that natural immunity is inferior to vaccination was pretty weak, and Makary said so.

The CDC did put out a study on natural immunity last month, forcefully concluding that vaccinated immunity was 2.3 times better than natural immunity. The CDC used these results to justify telling those with natural immunity to get vaccinated.

But the rate of infection in each group was less than 0.01%, meaning infections were exceedingly rare in the short two-month time period the agency chose to study. This is odd, given there are more than a year of data available. Moreover, despite having data on all 50 states, the CDC only reported data from Kentucky. Was Kentucky the only state that produced the desired result? Why else exclude the same data from the other 49 states?

By contrast, Israel’s natural immunity study included data from one of the nation’s four health insurance providers, including more than 700,000 records of people 16 and older. It also used data for the duration of the pandemic and found 23 symptomatic COVID-19 infections among recovered unvaccinated Israelis out of approximately 14,000. No hospitalizations occurred among recovered patients due to reinfection.

Because the US education system sux, is designed to put out non-thinking drones and has produced nothing but woke communists who don’t understand math or science.

Or you can just point out the obvious, as we’ve been doing all along, and realize this isn’t ABOUT “health” but power and control. So it doesn’t matter what the facts are.

Am I missing something? I wish the cdc would take into account the failures of the covid vaccines when it comes to Israel.

There are far better effective treatments, which does not put elected communists in control, nor does it line the pockets of big pharma.

Because all of data is corrupted, partly by people in power wanting to tell noble lies. Who am I kidding, probably a lot of these lies are not very noble.

This also relates to why a big percent of nurses are refusing to get vaxxed. They have secret, inside information from their own eyes that the statistics are BS. They know about vaccine injuries that are not counted as vaccine related, and are not reported in the system. They know there are many suffering from long term effects.

“ The US COVID data is fake.”

Anyone who does not already know this needs to pull their head out of their liberal democrat brain hole.

Because the CDC is a woke bureaucracy which occupies nearly all of its time either being a bureaucracy or trying to figure out ways to implement gun control and other things outside their mandate.

hmmm! not sure what this is attempting to achieve:

15 Sept: news.com.au: Chinese defector Wei Jingsheng claims US warned of Covid-19 months before pandemic declared
Chinese defector Wei Jingsheng has revealed sensational claims about what really happened in Wuhan as the Covid-19 pandemic emerged.
by Alexis Carey
But according to shocking new claims by a Chinese whistleblower, that crucial early warning – which came six long weeks before China admitted an outbreak had occurred – fell on deaf ears even as the bodies began to pile up.

That’s according to defector and democracy campaigner Wei Jingsheng, who makes the stunning revelation in Sky News’ new documentary, What Really Happened in Wuhan.

The documentary, which premieres on Monday and is based on a new book of the same name by Sharri Markson, includes interviews with Mr Jingsheng, who claims he attempted to tell US authorities just how serious the emerging crisis was back in October 2019 after being informed of the outbreak by contacts in Beijing...

But frustratingly, the former Chinese Communist Party insider’s repeated attempts to warn the world of the deadly looming crisis were ignored.
“I felt they were not as concerned as I was, so I tried my best to provide more detail and information,” he tells Markson in the documentary...

But perhaps even more shocking than that allegation is Mr Jingsheng’s claims he went straight to the top.

While he declined to reveal exactly which politician he spoke to, he said that person was of a concerningly high rank.
“I’m not sure if this politician wants me to talk about him right here,” he said.
“But I want to say he is a high enough politician, high enough to be able to reach the President of the United States.”...

Good question.

Now asked why it needs to be asked at all. The answers will not be pretty.

Useless agency that has been politicized beyond repair.

Because Israel tests EVERYBODY and not just the ones with obvious symptoms.

I determined in April of 2020 that the CDC was a political operation that no longer had their stated mission foremost. See here:

They have since changed their search so they no longer report number of hits. But all that content didn’t come cheap in time or money.

This is correct. I figures this out 16 months ago. See my prior post, and the link there.
