Covid vaccine safety system has gaps that may miss unexpected side effects, experts say The U.S. is relying on a patchwork network of vaccine monitoring systems.
NBC ^ | May 2, 2021 | JoNel Aleccia, Kaiser Health News

Before the pandemic began, the Food and Drug Administration had scaled back a program it used successfully to track adverse events during and after the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, and the agency is still ramping up its replacement, said Dr. Robert Chen, scientific director of the Brighton Collaboration, a nonprofit global vaccine safety network.

“It’s purely bad luck they were in between systems when Covid hit,” said Chen, who helped create the existing U.S. vaccine safety systems during nearly 30 years at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

FDA officials acknowledged that some data analysis won’t start for weeks or months, but said the government is watching for vaccine reactions with “state-of-the-art” systems.

But other potentially dangerous, unanticipated reactions to vaccines may not be so obvious in VAERS, a system that is believed to miss many potential side effects — or in the nation’s additional monitoring systems, including the Vaccine Safety Datalink and the CDC’s new phone-based tracking program, v-safe.

“I think we should be seeing that reporting on all of these vaccines. It was promised four months ago that it was happening.”

Vaccine safety experts said they were concerned that the FDA scaled back a system known as the Post-Licensure Rapid Immunization Safety Monitoring network, or PRISM, long regarded as a workhorse of surveillance.

“Prior to PRISM, I felt like we were sort of in the dark ages,” Steve Anderson, director of the FDA’s Office of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, said at a 2016 workshop. “When PRISM came along, for us it was really a game changer.” it has not been used to track vaccine reactions during the Covid-19 pandemic, said Salmon, who oversaw safety monitoring for the H1N1 vaccine.

They’ve f-ed up. They know it. I suspect this is the first trial balloon of the spin control.

I should point out that graph only covers up to April 24th. New CDC report out this week showed current deaths up to 3,848

The irony of punishing Trump by delaying the vax rollout shows the humungous disconnect between the sharp SARS case & fatality decline and the vax administration that eventually followed.

And my dear FRiends that argue the vax rollout began mid December 2020, please give a careful review of the incremental numbers that eventually grew exponentially over time — the vax admin curve doesn’t come close to the sharp SARS decline early January.

Were the Rats not so damn corrupt by delaying the rollout, the vax oil could have been more easily sold.

FWIW, ransomnote has been collecting VAERS data, and may have something to add.

Notice the vast lack of investigative reporting regarding the vax risks — dead silence.

Seems like if the NIH has money to invest in the patent for Moderna, the least they could do is hire data entry staff to enter the more than 75% of the records received by the CDC but not uploaded to VAERS. I mean, if the IRS needed data entry to collect information, they’d spend it.

I suspect the more than 75% of the records not uploaded were among the more serious of reports received.

Based on the way the CDC lies - yeah.I think so.

Sure, just like all the other “coincidences” that have happened in connection with this virus.

I agree.

But in their bid tohurt Trump, they shot themselves in the foot.

Again.

Excuses, excuses...,now that they have made a shitload of money, including Gates, they have to tell the truth about adverse effects because the instances of severe side effects are starting to trickle out anyway no matter how much they tried to keep the public “in the dark.”
This unconstitutional regime is just a bunch of assholes.
They don’t give rat’s ass how many people died in the beginning from this CCP bio weapon and hid effective treatments saying Trump was crazy talking about hydroxychloroqin and instead were trying to scare people from going to the polls.
They all belong in Gitmo including King Quack Fauci.

Here’s a link to the interview with Dr. Peter McCullough

https://leohohmann.com/2021/04/30/highly-cited-covid-doctor-comes-to-stunning-conclusion-govt-scrubbing-unprecedented-numbers-of-injection-related-deaths/

Highly cited COVID doctor comes to stunning conclusion: Gov’t ‘scrubbing unprecedented numbers’ of injection-related deaths

Dr. Peter McCullough said if this were any other vaccine it would have been pulled from the market by now for safety reasons.

McCullough holds the honor of being the most cited medical doctor on COVID-19 treatments at the National Library of Medicine, with more than 600 citations. He has testified before Congress and won numerous awards during his distinguished medical career.

Anyone can look on the 30 year graph I linked to above of VAERS after death reports and see just how dangerous these vaxes are.

As I have been saying for months now, HISTORIC and UNPRECEDENTED.
