The New York Times made an eye-popping admission on Sunday regarding data collected by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on Covid-19 vaccines.
In an article titled, "The C.D.C. Isn’t Publishing Large Portions of the Covid Data It Collects," reporter Apoorva Mandavilli writes: "For more than a year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has collected data on hospitalizations for Covid-19 in the United States and broken it down by age, race and vaccination status. But it has not made most of the information public."
Mandavilli, who covers science and global health for the Times, reported that the agency has published "only a tiny fraction of the data it has collected" since the pandemic began, including data on booster efficacy for 18 - 49 year-olds, a tremendous chunk of the U.S. population.
Reasons listed include bureaucracy, sample size, and not being "ready for prime time," but one that's definitely set to raise lots of eyebrows is the claim that the data could be "misinterpreted" by Covid vaccine skeptics.
"The C.D.C. has been routinely collecting information since the Covid vaccines were first rolled out last year ... The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public ... because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective."https://t.co/hecPyHmWQn— Scott Morefield (@SKMorefield) February 20, 2022
From the report:
Last year, the agency repeatedly came under fire for not tracking so-called breakthrough infections in vaccinated Americans, and focusing only on individuals who became ill enough to be hospitalized or die. The agency presented that information as risk comparisons with unvaccinated adults, rather than provide timely snapshots of hospitalized patients stratified by age, sex, race and vaccination status.
But the C.D.C. has been routinely collecting information since the Covid vaccines were first rolled out last year, according to a federal official familiar with the effort. The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public, the official said, because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective.
Instead, health experts have been forced to rely on data from Israel and elsewhere to make decisions, the Times reported.
IOW: “Withhold the evidence because the ‘wrong’ people will pounce on it.”
Step daughter has had 2 breakthroughs, she is tripple jabbed.
People are being harmed by vax, but they won't tell the public, cuz then the public may not take the jabs that may harm them.
Nice.🙄
First the Aliens came for the Democrats, but I did not speak up, because I was not a Democrat.
Next they came for the MSM, but I did not speak up, because I was not part of the MSM.
....
RE: Step daughter has had 2 breakthroughs, she is tripple jabbed.
I’m not getting this... did the 2 breakthroughs both occur AFTER 3 jabs?
Or did one occur after the first 2 jabs and the other after the 3rd?
Well, obviously, New York Times reporter Apoorva Mandavilli is a racist white supremacist, like those Canadian racist truckers. /s

How about publishing the data correctly so as to make it interpreted correctly...whatever bad news that may bring? Lying about it or leaving things out of it only makes things more difficult in the long run.
My old tagline was a quote from the CDC, ““We don’t know how people are infected with Ebola.” Either they are that stupid or they’re lying or both.
CDC virologist Dr. Timothy Cunningham no way committed suicide while picking up pretty rocks at the river leaving his beloved dog without food or water at the house.
IRT your post 17. Thanks for the blast from the past. It is interesting to go back to see some of the earlier covid posts.
YEP! and she Panics no test after she waited in line, Next day only the non rapid was available. And down time means lost business. But she couldn’t even put eye drops in after her Lasix surgery, her dad had to go over and do it.
