CDC conceals over 277K vaccinated COVID-19 cases in 2021: Documents.
Hidden COVID-19 Cases Among Vaccinated Individuals Revealed
Startling new information has emerged, showing that over 277,000 COVID-19 cases among individuals who received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine were kept hidden from the public by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2021. These shocking findings were recently obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by The Epoch Times.
According to the acquired files, 144,349 cases were reported by 32 jurisdictions to the CDC between April and June 2021. These cases involved partially vaccinated individuals, defined by the CDC as those who had received at least one dose of the vaccine. Meanwhile, fully vaccinated individuals were those who had completed the recommended primary series and had waited at least 14 days for a protective immunological response.Related Stories
The cases were reported in various jurisdictions, including California, Maryland, New York, and Texas. Shockingly, the CDC chose not to disclose these numbers to the public.
In response to inquiries, CDC staffers explained that the data on partially vaccinated individuals were collected to ensure accurate reporting of vaccine breakthrough cases. However, these data were not made public, as it was considered a best practice to exclude them from the official numbers.On a webpage advising state and local officials, the CDC recommends separate analysis of individuals who have received only one dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine. This is because the full benefit of the COVID-19 vaccination is expected only after completing the recommended primary series and allowing sufficient time for a protective immunological response.
Discontinued Reporting
In May 2021, the CDC stopped reporting post-vaccination infections among fully vaccinated individuals, known as breakthrough cases. Previously, they had disclosed that 10,262 breakthrough infections were reported, resulting in hospitalizations and deaths. The CDC justified this change by stating that it aimed to focus on cases of greater clinical and public health importance.
Unfortunately, the exact number of infections among partially vaccinated individuals that led to hospitalization or death remains unknown.
Altered Definition
The CDC initially defined breakthrough cases as individuals who tested positive seven or more days after completing the primary series. However, they later changed the definition to require a positive test at least 14 days after completing the series. The CDC claimed that this change was based on the latest data, which indicated that a 14-day period was necessary for an effective antibody response to the vaccines.
Interestingly, the CDC’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases falsely denied changing the definition in a recent letter. The CDC has yet to issue a correction, despite previous instances of misinformation during the pandemic.
Additional Hidden Cases
Furthermore, it has been revealed that an additional 133,000 post-vaccination cases occurred among Medicare beneficiaries through September 2021. These cases were excluded from the count of partially vaccinated individuals. The CDC received this data but failed to present it in meetings with relevant committees, which ultimately led to the approval of Pfizer’s vaccine and the authorization of a booster.
The CDC has declined to comment on withholding this data, raising concerns about transparency and accurate reporting.
What is the rationale behind the CDC’s decision to collect data on partially vaccinated individuals but not disclose these numbers to the public?
/p>
While the CDC’s decision to collect data on partially vaccinated individuals for accurate reporting purposes seems reasonable, the lack of transparency in not disclosing these numbers is concerning. The public has a right to know the true extent of breakthrough cases among vaccinated individuals, as it impacts our understanding of the effectiveness of the vaccines and our ability to make informed decisions about our health.
Furthermore, by not including these cases in the official numbers, the CDC may be creating a false sense of security among fully vaccinated individuals. This could lead to complacency and a disregard for necessary precautions, potentially contributing to the spread of the virus.
It is important to note that breakthrough cases are not unexpected with any vaccine. No vaccine is 100% effective, and there will always be a small percentage of vaccinated individuals who may still contract the virus. However, by transparently reporting these cases, health authorities can accurately assess the real-world effectiveness of the vaccines and make informed decisions regarding public health measures.
The CDC’s decision to keep these hidden COVID-19 cases among vaccinated individuals raises questions about the agency’s commitment to transparency and accountability. The public relies on the CDC as a trusted source of information, and withholding data undermines that trust.
As we continue to navigate the ongoing pandemic, it is crucial that we have access to accurate and up-to-date information. Transparency in reporting breakthrough cases can help guide public health strategies and ensure that individuals are making informed choices about their vaccination and mitigation efforts.
Going forward, it is imperative that the CDC reconsider its approach to reporting breakthrough cases and prioritize transparency. By openly sharing this information with the public, the CDC can foster trust, promote vaccine confidence, and empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health and safety.
In conclusion, the revelation of hidden COVID-19 cases among vaccinated individuals is a matter of significant concern. It is crucial that the CDC takes immediate steps to rectify this situation, provide clarity on the true extent of breakthrough cases, and restore public trust in the agency’s ability to effectively manage and communicate information during this unprecedented health crisis.
