Exclusive: The White House during the Biden administration edited federal health officials' messaging on stroke after COVID-19 vaccination, newly released records show
@SenRonJohnson One of the changes was switching the finding of a post-vaccination ischemic safety signal from being "moderately elevated" to "slightly elevated," the documents show.
@SenRonJohnson Another was removing the words "potential risk."
@SenRonJohnson The thousands of pages of documents also contained other new items.
Among them: A CDC contractor ran several operations, including a "Death Project" and a "Stroke Project."
@SenRonJohnson A confidential document showed that officials planned private briefings on post-vaccination strokes with "trusted reporters" and "key vaccine experts," including several who have received money from vaccine manufacturers
@SenRonJohnson Regarding the stroke signal, identified after Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent vaccination, officials later said that it appeared to stem from same day influenza vaccination. theepochtimes.com/health/influen…
Johnson told The Epoch Times that "as safety signals for ischemic stroke appeared, Biden HHS officials continued to urge people to get vaccinated, jeopardizing the health of millions of Americans." He wrote to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asking for additional documents, and interviews with health officials such as Dr. Tom Shimabukuro. documentcloud.org/documents/2790…

After a 37-year-old man died shortly after receiving a shot, his autopsy said he died of “post vaccination systemic inflammation response." A CDC employee said the death was “evident of a sudden death post second dose of Moderna vaccine.”
In another case, a 24-year-old man died two months after receiving a Pfizer vaccine. An autopsy described the death as resulting from “complications of COVID-19 vaccine-related myocarditis."
CDC didn't send alert on COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis because officials were worried about causing panic, email obtained by The Epoch Times shows.
Read the full story, including a new batch of 1,433 emails between the CDC and Pfizer/Moderna, here: theepochtimes.com/article/exclus…
Also in the story: Emails showing Pfizer and Moderna were tipped off ahead of time as CDC was deciding how to tell the public about post-vaccination myocarditis.
Six journals, including the CDC's, rejected first risk-benefit analysis that challenged CDC's calculation that the benefits outweighed the risks for COVID vaccination of young males theepochtimes.com/article/cdc-jo…
CDC officials falsely told the paper's authors that the paper did not add anything to a previously published CDC report, which estimated more COVID-19 hospitalizations would be prevented than cases of heart inflammation caused.
The paper's authors took key steps the CDC had not, including removing incidental hospitalizations and separating non high-risk children from high-risk children.
CDC official: "We noticed 'myocarditis' was trending on Twitter this morning, and that this tweet seems to have driven it. Raising this as a potential opportunity to get some messaging out around vaccine safety."
The tweet in question noted that MSNBC host Yasmin Vossoughian, who received a COVID-19 vaccine, suffered a form of heart inflammation called myocarditis. It's a known side effect of the vaccines.
