in World News CDC Removes COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports From Website: Report
By Brandon Drey
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website appeared to have quietly stopped collecting COVID-19 vaccine adverse events on the federal agency’s V-safe website earlier this summer.
“Thank you for your participation. Data collection for COVID-19 vaccines concluded on June 30, 2023,” the V-safe website reads.
Instead of displaying data collected from the mRNA vaccine, the CDC website redirects users to the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) website for adverse event reporting.
Dr. David Gortler, a Brownstone Institute Fellow who formerly served as a senior official and advisor for the FDA, first reported the change in the CDC’s website, questioning why the federal agency removed the data.
“Does this mean that the CDC believes that the mRNA Covid-19 injections are so safe, there is no need to monitor adverse event reports any longer?” he wrote. “What is the argument against continued monitoring, especially since the V-safe website was already up and paid for?”
Since mRNA injections hit the market in 2021, Gortler cited the FDA’s VAERS database that allegedly names the vaccines as the number one cause of more than 1.5 million adverse event reports, including heart attacks and cases of myocarditis and pericarditis in the U.S.
