Getting to the Heart of Things
17th October 2022
This week a lawsuit against the CDC has given us access to some of the V-safe data. This is the smartphone app created by the CDC that lets you register for the vaccine and report side effects and other health information. As with any user-reported data, it should be taken with a grain of salt, but there are people who argue that reporting systems like this and VAERS undercount adverse events because most people don’t bother reporting. Either way, this is data that the CDC has been sitting on and only released due to a recent court order.
The data provided is from 10.1 million users and the headline number is 7.7% of those required medical attention after vaccination. It is such an absurdly high number that if I was working at the CDC, I would insist it was incorrect and there must be something wrong with the software. It will be very interesting moving forward to know how many employees were privy to this information or if there was any internal debate about releasing or debunking it. Data like this would create a liability nightmare, that is if liability existed for such a thing.
