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.
again. old news to us here. but at least it proves you are a class a ignoramus or just a fool if you ever trust the CDC again.
Gateway pundit ran an article on April 2nd, by a noted virologist.....folks, it ain’t pretty....we better all be praying, hard...
I did a letter to the editor based on the first release of a Pfizer report and got feedback from one editor that I was a conspiracy theorist. I love going back to her with reports like the one posted here. I gave her the below link, but she was not impressed.
5.3.6 CUMULATIVE ANALYSIS OF POST-AUTHORIZATION ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS OF PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) RECEIVED THROUGH 28-FEB-2021

i’m glad you’re keeping at her. you must have a lot of faith.
the Bible reports a lot of spiritual blindness that you can scarce believe. possibly Pharaoh Amenhotep II (or whomever was the Pharaoh of the Exodus) was the blindest ever. but, you can’t help but continue to be shocked at some of it. they’re seemingly impervious to the obvious and completely unteachable once they’re ensconced in their mental irons.
i’m old enough to have experienced it myself—eventually granted God’s Grace to see the light (thank God for our Savior and His work). now i’ve seen it in others enough times that it no longer shocks me like it once did. God really does harden their hearts, poor souls.
one of the greatest blessings that God gives a believer, i’m convinced, is the rare ability to see when you’re mistaken given enough evidence or reason, and the ability
and grace to fight your way out of such mental prisons.
The nonsensical report about a tsunami of deaths coming? Pure rubbish.
Given how dismissive you are of that report, I will guess that you understood the technical aspects of how he arrived at the conclusions he did. That implies that you're in the field of virology/immunology or a related field. That being said, could you explain in detail why that guy's conclusions are incorrect? Thank you!
What’s the score now? “Conspiracy theorists” 10-CDC, et al 0?
The “follow the science” crowd sure doesn’t want science to actually work if it proves they were wrong.
They aren’t conspiracy theories anymore.
They’re spoilers.
And of course this is being totally ignored by the MSM.
I did a web search for news from the CDC and not one mention of this story.
Everything is about Bird Flu.
Thanks for posting.
Individuals who live alone, get shots and die soon after, are not filling out a VAERS report.
RIP DG
Nuremberg II for all of them.
Didn’t Justin Bieber suffer facial paralysis shortly after getting the vax?
If anything, we’ll learn what we already know or suspect: the vaxx is unsafe at any speed and the “experts”, who got in our faces to coerce and threatened us into compliance, were lying their asses off about it and everything else covid-19.
So, what’s left in the aftermath? Well, our previous blind trust in our medical professionals, it’s dead, Jim. Dead and gone, just like so many of their victims who once believed them and followed their advice.
And how many of the injured even knew how to report their injuries
Your post reminds me of how important it is with grandkids. I made a really bad statement to my grandson but was able to apologize and retrieve the situation. I hope that incident will impact his treatment of others.
