Did the Biden administration deliberately ignore the adverse effects of the COVID vaccine?

The effort to promote COVID vaccines to the general public has taken many forms. Experts such as Anthony Fauci downplayed the large differences in risk between age groups, arguing that everyone should be vaccinated, regardless of youth or the lack of other health-related risk factors.

The former director of the CDC, Rochelle Walensky, made the completely unsupported claim that “vaccinated people do not carry the virus” and “do not get sick,” promises that were false at the time and later proved discrediting.

Former President Joe Biden said unvaccinated people should prepare for a “winter of sickness and death” in 2021-2022. He also tried to force all private businesses with more than 100 employees to use the vaccination mandate. There were vaccine passports, university mandates, and of course, the pinnacle, or nadir, or stupidity of COVID, Stephen Colbert’s “The Vax-scene.”

But another side of the relentless push for the discovery of a COVID vaccine was the objective underestimation or denial of potential side effects and their impact on risk-benefit calculations.

MAJOR STUDY REVEALS WHY COVID-19 VACCINATION CAN CAUSE HEART PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY IN ONE CITY

One of the tools for measuring those side effects is VAERS, or the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. And Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has released a new report on how that plan may have been deliberately ignored by the Biden administration’s desire to promote spending.

VAERS’ safety features may have been overlooked by the Biden administration

Johnson’s new report, released last week, contains potentially bombshell revelations about the behavior of Biden’s health officials regarding possible safety symptoms.

The report comes from an investigation by the Full Subcommittee on Investigations, which requested documents from the Department of Health and Human Services about the VAERS program during the outbreak in early 2021.

Some of the documents sent include Dr. Ana Szarfman, described as “chief medical officer and developer of safety data mining at the Food and Drug Administration. Szarfman, Johnson says, “used a revised data analysis process that identified a number of statistically significant safety indicators in adverse events related to vaccines for COVID-19.”

The report says he “then shared his findings with other FDA officials,” particularly those “responsible for monitoring the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine.”

Indeed, there would be some interest in the FDA in continuing to investigate safety signals, especially knowing that recommendations from other experts will depend on their findings. Instead, however, the report says those officials “ignored him and eventually told him to stop analyzing his data.”

SCIENTISTS FIND DETAILS OF WHY THE COVID VACCINE IS CAUSING ENDLESS HEALTH PROBLEMS FOR SOME

Not what you want to hear. But what did Szarfman actually find?

However, Johnson’s report says he found in his analysis of the data that there were about 50 examples of “extreme masking.” Essentially, masking means that one common signal in the data makes others difficult to detect. Szarfman and Dr. William DuMouchel, then chief statistician at Oracle and inventor of a data mining algorithm working at the FDA, found that “extreme masking” had included about 20-25 examples of “statistically significant” side effects. Those side effects have not been “previously discovered” by the FDA and include “sudden cardiac death, Bell’s palsy, and pulmonary infarction.”

Dr. Szarfman, Johnson says, continued to share updated results of the same safety signals several times in the first half of 2021 as vaccination policies and recommendations came out.

WASHINGTON POST EDITORIAL LINKS BIDEN’S INFORMATION ON WHY PEOPLE WANT THEIR ARMIES

Instead of taking these findings seriously and looking into them further, Biden-FDA wanted him to stop looking. The report states that “a senior FDA official wrote to his colleagues, ‘[b]before we get to Ana, we have to meet inside — too many considerations not worth emailing.’

Another expert, Dr. Peter Marks, warned that data mining “creates false arguments that fuel anti-vaccination rhetoric.”

In June 2021, Dr. Szarfman had emailed another FDA employee about discussions between the FDA and the CDC about “myocardial events” that could be linked to COVID-19. He attached a data analysis showing “statistically significant safety signals for acute myocardial infarction,” and added that “they found clear signals in other similar events.”

COVID VACCINE BOOSTERS QUESTIONED BY FDA CHIEF: ‘VOID OF DATA’

What does the FDA do with this information? Well, nothing really. It sounds right.

VAERS has limitations, it is a reporting system rather than a controlled scientific study. It is subject to bias and can be misleading. However, with a question as important as this, and the known limitations regarding hidden data, it seems implausible that there was little interest in further investigation.

It would be absurd, if it didn’t fit the pattern of behavior from the FDA and other experts at the time. They underestimate the risk of myocarditis or other health-related side effects, especially in young people, leading to unnecessary risks being taken by us, college students or others in that age group that COVID has made less likely to get seriously ill.

They ignored the fact that it was clear, very soon, that vaccines had little power against infection. Choosing instead to continue to seek authority and passports based on their false assumptions.

There was no interest in continuing to test the safety signal data because it would undermine their desire to push for universal detection. Even if that investigation found that the potential safety signals were overblown. It wasn’t very important, because it could have fed into the “anti-vax” sentiment. That’s what worried them, not finding the truth.

You don’t have to be “anti-vax” to want to have all the information available. And concern about COVID vaccines in particular should not be conflated with skepticism or mistrust of all vaccines. But the proliferation of stories and reports of this kind in the post-pandemic period, which shows how indifferent many officials have been, strongly encourages this kind of thinking. It’s their fault, and they refuse to admit it.
