Report: CDC system tracking vaccine adverse effects is overwhelmed

Share

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a national vaccine safety surveillance program that monitors the safety of vaccines called the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The program helps to detect unusual or unexpected reporting patterns of adverse events from vaccines.

However, a British Medical Journal report found that VAERS is “overwhelmed,” raising concerns that the program could be broken.

The BMJ reports that some doctors and a state medical examiner who have submitted reports to VAERS either haven’t received a prompt follow-up from a clinical reviewer or are being ignored entirely.

According to the BMJ’s investigation, the CDC doesn’t have the staff to handle the incoming reports of vaccine side effects.

Before the pandemic, VAERS received nearly 60,000 adverse event reports annually. However, since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine, the system has faced an unprecedented surge, with 1.7 million reports.

“Interestingly, the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System, which collects reports on drugs, does maintain a publicly accessible database that gets updated, as does the agency’s Medical Device Reporting system — raising the question of why VAERS can’t do the same,” the BMJ’s report said.

U.S. childhood vaccination exemptions have just reached their highest level ever.

IS THE C-D-C’S “VACCINE ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING SYSTEM” BROKEN?
THAT’S THE QUESTION ASKED BY ONE OF THE TOP MEDICAL JOURNALS IN THE WORLD AFTER AN INVESTIGATION FOUND THE CDC’S VAERS SYSTEM – MEANT TO TRACK AND STUDY VACCINE SIDE EFFECTS – IS “OVERWHELMED.”

THE BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL SAYS REPORTS SUBMITTED BY DOCTORS AND A STATE MEDICAL EXAMINER ARE NOT BEING FOLLOWED UP ON –
AND SIGNALS ARE BEING MISSED.

HERE’S AN EXCERPT STRAIGHT FROM THE JOURNAL.“The BMJ has spoken to more than a dozen people who have filed VAERS reports of a serious nature and were never contacted by clinical reviewers or were contacted months later. Some of those making reports were told conflicting information about updating their report or were discouraged from making a report altogether.”

THE BMJ’S INVESTIGATION RAISES QUESTIONS OVER TRANSPARENCY.
ACCORDING TO THE BMJ – THE F-D-A AND C-D-C ESSENTIALLY HAVE TWO “VAERS” DATABASES. THE PUBLIC ONE – CONTAINS ONLY INITIAL REPORTS.

THEN THERE IS A NON-PUBLIC, BACK-END SYSTEM THAT CONTAINS UPDATES TO THOSE CASES – SUCH AS WHETHER A PERSON RECOVERED OR DIED AFTER EXPERIENCING ADVERSE EFFECTS.

OF THE PEOPLE THE BMJ SPOKE TO WAS DOCTOR “PATRICK WHELAN” – WHOSE 7-YEAR OLD PATIENT HAD A CARDIAC ARREST AFTER THE BOY REPORTEDLY RECEIVED A COVID-19 VACCINE.

THE PATIENT WAS ON A VENTILATOR WHEN THE DOCTOR FILED A VAERS REPORT.
DOCTOR WHELAN SAYS MONTHS PASSED BEFORE HE RECEIVED A RESPONSE.
MEDICAL EXAMINER JAMES GILL WAS ALSO INTERVIEWED BY THE BMJ.

GILL REPORTED TO THE CDC THAT A 15 YEAR OLD BOY DIED DAYS AFTER GETTING A SECOND COVID-19 SHOT. AFTER THE AUTOPSY – GILL SAYS THE TEENAGER’S CAUSE OF DEATH WAS “CARDIO-MY-OPATHY” DUE TO THE COVID VACCINE.
THE CDC REFUTES GILL’S FINDINGS.

THE CDC HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED ONE SINGLE DEATH LINKED TO COVID VACCINES AFTER REVIEWING MORE THAN 20 THOUSAND PRELIMINARY REPORTS.
OTHER COUNTRIES **HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED DEATHS TO BE “LIKELY” OR “PROBABLY” RELATED TO M-R-N-A VACCINATION WITH FAR FEWER REPORTS.

BEFORE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC – VAERS WAS RECEIVING NEARLY 60 THOUSAND ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS EACH YEAR. THERE HAS BEEN AN UNPRECEDENTED 1.7 MILLION REPORTS MADE SINCE THE ROLLOUT OF COVID VACCINES. ONE IN FIVE ARE SAID TO MEET THE CRITERIA OF BEING “SERIOUS” IN NATURE.

THE CDC TOLD THE BMJ AT ANY GIVEN TIME, THERE WILL BE “SEVERAL DOZEN TO HUNDREDS” OF STAFF MEMBERS TO “MEET THE NEEDS OF THE OFFICE.” BUT THE BMJ SAYS THAT’S AN INADEQUATE NUMBER – COMPARING THE CDC’S STAFF TO PFIZER’S – WHICH HAS THOUSANDS OF EMPLOYEES REVIEWING VACCINE SIDE EFFECTS.

THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 675 MILLION DOSES OF THE COVID VACCINE ADMINISTERED. SO THE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS REPORTED THROUGH VAERS IS MINIMAL COMPARED TO THE NUMBER OF COVID SHOTS GIVEN.

THE CDC SAYS PUBLIC INFORMATION ON THESE REPORTED ADVERSE EFFECTS –
IS LIMITED OUT OF “PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY” CONCERNS.

THE BMJ CONCLUDES – “Interestingly, the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System, which collects reports on drugs, does maintain a publicly accessible database that gets updated, as does the agency’s Medical Device Reporting system—raising the question of why VAERS can’t do the same.”

U.S. CHILDHOOD VACCINATION EXEMPTIONS JUST REACHED THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL EVER. AS VACCINE HESITANCY PERSISTS PAST THE PANDEMIC.
