The Spike in Death Reports Following COVID-19 Vaccination Was Caused by a Mistake: CDC

A sudden jump in the post-COVID-19 vaccination death reports is not correct and was the result of an “error,” according to a U.S. health agency.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday said a passive reporting system it runs with the Food and Drug Administration had received 12,313 reports of death among those who received a COVID-19 vaccine.

That was a sharp increase from the previous number of reports, 6,079.

The jump would have effectively doubled the percentage of post-vaccination death reports, from 0.0018 percent to 0.0036 percent.

But a CDC spokeswoman told The Epoch Times the number the agency has displayed on its website is not correct.

“It is double what it was yesterday and so it definitely is incorrect,” the spokeswoman said. “We checked our stats internally and it’s only 6,000. So someone doing an update misrepresented that or made a mistake, in other words.”

“We caught it this morning ourselves and noticed that it had doubled suddenly,” she added.

The spokeswoman was unable to say when the error would be fixed. “It’s being worked out,” she said.

Investigative journalist Alex Berenson first reported on the number in question, which stems from reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

“The new figure means CDC has now received more reports of deaths following Covid vaccination than ALL OTHER VACCINES COMBINED IN THE 30-YEAR HISTORY OF VAERS,” he wrote on Twitter.

“We don’t know at this point why the number of death reports in the system doubled in a week. Probably the answer is not a new surge in deaths, but older deaths being added to the system. But given VAERS’s importance as a monitoring mechanism, CDC must explain quickly,” he added.

Doubling numbers overnight are part of the Biden Bump. Didn’t she watch the election returns when they stopped counting for awhile and then started reporting the numbers again when things “changed”?

“A sudden jump in the post-COVID-19 vaccination death reports is not correct and was the result of an “error,” according to a U.S. health agency.”

Sure!And we’re supposed to believe that statement. That’s why Fakebook and Twit were blocking any mention of the subject.

Since Bidens purges I haven’t believed a damned thing he and anyone or any agency affiliated with him says. Its all the Big Lie.
