@US_FDA .@CDCgov + @US_FDA administer VAERS, a database that allows medical professionals + others to file reports about vaccine-related injuries.
CDC considers VAERS to be an “early warning system” for detecting unusual patterns of reporting that can signal problems w/ a vaccine.

@US_FDA @CDCgov According to the co-sponsored VAERS’ “Standard Operating Procedures for COVID-19,” dated Jan. 2021 the CDC + FDA would coordinate monitoring for “potential new safety concerns for COVID-19 vaccines” by performing routine VAERS surveillance weekly or bi-weekly, respectively.

@US_FDA @CDCgov CHD requested these data, along with records of the FDA’s communications with the CDC regarding the CDC’s own COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring.
The FDA on Oct. 4, 2022, denied CHD’s FOIA request in its entirety.

@US_FDA @CDCgov The FDA cited “attorney-client privileges” as well as a FOIA exemption that protects agency communications “consisting of opinions, recommendations, and policy discussions within the deliberative process of FDA, from which factual information is not reasonably segregable.”

@US_FDA @CDCgov CHD’s administrative appeal, filed in Nov. 2022, addressed:
🔴FDA’s failure to explain why it would be impossible to segregate + disclose non-exempt information
🔴What basis it had for claiming attorney-client privilege
🔴Or whether FDA had even searched for the records
