My comments to @US_FDA's VRBPAC committee today:

Dear Committee,

I address you as an admin of a tinnitus adverse event support forum.
1/18 My only conflict is the unlikely copay reimbursement in the two thousand dollar range from CICP if I were to influence recognition, and later file a claim.

Got this from a reporter, Tom Shimabukuro at the CDC talking about me. Image To clarify, there was no need for this response. I was sharing IRB approved survey data collected by a University of Arizona tinnitus researcher that had not been published.

My comments today about #tinnitus with #covid #vaccines during the Open Public Hearing at #CDC's #ACIP meeting. A thread 🧵:

1/21 Dear Committee,

My name is Robert Edmonds, I am an admin of one of the actually smaller tinnitus adverse event focused support forums for COVID vaccines with nearly 1000 members.

Peer reviewed papers (not anecdotal case reports) and governmental sources that indicate a link of COVID vaccination to tinnitus (even if not after a first pass). Author affiliations include the @WHO, @EMA_News, & @US_FDA. A thread 🧵, with select quotes: who.int/publications/i…
"A recent signal detection activity at the
Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC) identified
hearing loss (including sudden cases) and
tinnitus following COVID-19 vaccination as a
preliminary signal to be further assessed."

I spoke today with the authors of: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
*This included a current and former member of the FDA.*

They explained what masking is, and the effect on the signal for tinnitus as an adverse event within VAERS. Let me explain what I learned: 🧵
1/8 What is masking you ask?
"The masking effect is a statistical issue associated with
commonly applied signal detection methodologies in
which signals for a product of interest are hidden by the
presence of other reported products."

I was told I'm supposed to come up with clear goals with my advocacy, because I run the risk of looking antivax:

Goal 1: The FDA/CDC/NIH formally supports research via funding exploring the mechanism of tinnitus as an AE, risk factors, and treatment methods.

1/N Goal 2: The recognition of tinnitus as a related adverse event for at least 3-4 C19 vaccines. There is now sufficient evidence to support this claim through many peer reviewed publications.

Goal 1 & 2 go hand in hand really.
