The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released previously hidden reports of facial paralysis and other adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination.
The 780,000 reports were received shortly after the COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out, and show people experienced a wide range of post-vaccination problems, including heart inflammation, miscarriages, and seizures.
“Loss of consciousness and seizure immediately following injection. Went to ER by ambulance,” one person reported.
“Diagnosed with Bells Palsy today due to left-sided facial numbness and paralysis,” another said.
People lodged the reports with V-safe, a text-message system created by the CDC to monitor for possible side effects of COVID-19 vaccines.
The CDC, for years, declined to make the V-safe data public, instead publishing studies that described the reports as providing reassurance about the safety of the shots. However, according to data released in 2022, nearly 8 percent of the 10 million users required medical attention or hospital care after vaccination, and many others reported missing school, work, or other normal activities.
That topline data came from check-the-box surveys.
The same judge who ordered the release of that data ordered the agency in January to disclose free-text entries from a different section where individuals could describe their experiences. U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, appointed by former President Donald Trump, dismissed the government’s arguments that processing the responses and redacting sensitive information would require too much work.
The first two tranches, comprising 780,000 reports from some 523,000 people, include dozens of reports of heart inflammation, hundreds of reports of facial paralysis, and thousands of reports of tinnitus.
Multiple people said things were so bad that they were struggling with suicidal thoughts.
“For 24 hrs after [the] shot I was so fatigued I could not stay awake. I also have some very strong suicidal thoughts. Zero appetite,” one individual wrote.
Another person said they experienced symptoms of an allergic reaction. “I read where [sic] this vaccine should not be administered to anyone allergic to PEG and I am allergic to PEG. It would be incredibly reassuring if someone would call me as all I run into is dead ends,” the individual said.
The free-text portion of the surveys was the only place for people to report adverse events, including heart inflammation, even though the CDC knew the shots might cause those events, previously released documents showed. Other documents showed the CDC became aware of the vaccines possibly causing myocarditis, or heart inflammation, and a related condition called pericarditis early in 2021 but hid the knowledge from the public.
Judge Kacsmaryk’s order came in litigation brought by the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), a nonprofit that has compelled the release of a number of government files since the COVID-19 pandemic started.
“ICAN had to sue the Centers for Disease Control in order to gain access to the COVID-19 shot V-safe adverse event data, which is yet another shameful chapter in the decades-long history of federal health officials trying to cover up vaccine risks by ignoring patterns of vaccine reaction symptoms in reports made to the government,” Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center, told The Epoch Times after reviewing the new data.
“When people report the same symptoms over and over again after getting a biological product—in this case ’shortness of breath‘ and ’heart palpitations,' which are both symptoms of myocarditis that has been causally linked to mRNA COVID shots—the public should be warned, not kept in the dark. It raises questions about what else government health officials are hiding,” she added.
The free-text entries are not dated. Elizabeth Brehm, an attorney representing ICAN, said the group is seeking the dates of the reports from the CDC. The group does know that the entries are the earliest ones received by the CDC. V-safe was launched as the vaccines were rolled out in late 2020. The rest of the entries are expected to be produced on a rolling basis.
A CDC spokesperson declined to answer many questions, including those related to the dates of entries.
“V-safe participants who reported that they received medical care after vaccination were called and encouraged to submit a VAERS report. If they submitted a VAERS report and the adverse events were classified as serious (as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations), CDC attempted to obtain additional information (medical records, hospital records, etc.) about the reported adverse event,” the spokesperson told The Epoch Times. “All data collected from VAERS is processed and analyzed for unusual patterns or unusually high numbers of rare and serious adverse events after vaccination.” She said the information from VAERS helped detect problems the agency now acknowledges are caused by the vaccines, including myocarditis.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled CDC Releases Hidden COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Reports...The agency was forced by a federal judge to disclose the reports. , ExTexasRedhead wrote: VAERs data is far under reported because physicians and those harmed aka murdered by the jabs and boosters were not allowed to report the incidents by design and on purpose. They made the reporting as difficult as they could and refused a majority of it.
Exactly. The FDA/CDC controll VAERS and they made it ineffecient and hard to use. A person trying to file a report online with VAERS has a time consuming task and the software logs you out without warning you at the 20 minute mark, losing all your work. I watched an online video of a man, well versed in computing, struggling to file because the fields of data are time consuming to type in under the 20 minute limit, so he'd have to go back and start from the begining again, more than once. How many people got through that?
That is just one way VAERS was intentionally made difficult, and left that way even when they were ramping up. They had plenty of money over the 30+ years VAERS has been in use to fix the bugs and make it save work etc. But when Covid hit they didn't want the public to access VAERS and upload easily, so they created an entirely new phone app. Why didn't they make that phone app upload reports straight to VAERS? WEll, because the public has access to a lot of VAERS data, but V-Safe can data can only be used by CDC employees. VSAFE means 'safe from public eyes' in my opinion.
By design, they planned to hide information.
The Gag....
Correct?
That’s a Shame....
I might have been Canned for refusing the Clot Shot!!!
.
The Planet has been damaged
Even Gag Guy
May Not be The Greatest Hoax
As Of Yet But it’s a Top 5.
Agree!!
Thank you for the ping(s), Ace Reporter!
I wish there could be some personal and dire consequence for this. There is at least one person I would get some little satisfaction in knocking the crap out of for his actions.
@Jane, I can say that I am happily a member of your “ilk”. Un-cv19vxd and with eyes open.
No one said that DJT was perfect. The only ppl still boosting are Dems & hard-core RINOs. I don’t advise they do it, but given the venom they have spat our way since the Obama years...I wouldn’t dream of standing in their way.
Hope you and yours are well.
“VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. In large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases.”
What’s to stop someone from putting in a fake VAERS report?
Got the J&J jab early on from the VA. By summer of 21 they were trying to get me to take the mRNA stuff. Noticed that things weren’t going well so I declined. Glad I did.
Since Apr 3, 2024
Smells like retread?
Thst’s a standard shill argument.
VAERS has a 20-min timeout-or-lose-your-work feature, and doctors don’t get paid for the time fighting with the system.
Nice try n00b retread.
What are you talking about?
And anyone with an internet connection can enter anything they want to into VAERS (from the middle of the page):
“Anyone can submit a report to VAERS â healthcare professionals, vaccine manufacturers, and the general public. VAERS welcomes all reports, regardless of seriousness, and regardless of how likely the vaccine may have been to have caused the adverse event.”

I had natural immunity because I got Coronavirus in March 2020.
I live in the New Orleans area and I caught it during Mardi Gras.
How the “Unvaccinated” Got It Right
ROBIN KOERNER
The continued insistence on rolling out the “vaccine” to the entire population when the data revealed that those with no comorbidities were at low risk of severe illness or death from COVID was therefore immoral and ascientific on its face.
The argument that reduced transmission from the non-vulnerable to the vulnerable as a result of mass “vaccination” could only stand if the long-term safety of the “vaccine” had been established, which it had not.
