In an October 4, 2022, Fox News
interview, civil rights attorney Aaron Siri, legal counsel for the
Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), shared shocking V-Safe data
obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after
multiple legal demands.
For more than 15 months, the CDC fought to not release any of these
data. ICAN had to file two lawsuits and multiple appeals to get the CDC
to hand it over, and when you see the data, you understand why.
What Is V-Safe?
By now, many know about the existence of the Vaccine Adverse Events
Reporting System (VAERS), a publicly available database for vaccine
adverse event reports, jointly managed by the CDC and the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration.
V-Safe1
is another database managed and monitored by the CDC. It's a voluntary
"after vaccination health checker" deployed to collect data on those who
got the COVID jab.
Anyone in the United States can enroll in V-Safe, using their
smartphone, after receiving any dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Parents can
also enroll their underage children to keep tabs on health effects.
During the first week after each dose, V-Safe will send you a daily text
message asking for details on your health and well-being. After that,
check-ins are sent out on an intermittent basis.
What Does V-Safe Show?
So, what does the V-Safe data, which the CDC was so reluctant to
release, actually show? Are the COVID jabs as harmless as they're
claimed to be? Far from it.
As detailed by Siri, out of the 10 million people enrolled in V-Safe,
7.7% (770,000 people) required medical care after getting the shot and
25% (2.5 million people) missed work or school or suffered a serious
side effect that affected their day-to-day life.
As noted by Siri, these numbers are
extraordinary. One of the key messages we were given was that while
COVID was not a significant threat to all people, getting the shot would
limit the number of hospitalizations, deaths and days missed from work
due to infection.
Well, we now see that 25% of those who got the shot ended up missing
work or school because of the side effects, and 7.7% needed medical
care. That's staggering, and completely nullifies the CDC's argument
that everyone should get the shot, whether they're in a high-risk
category or not, and whether they've already had COVID-19 or not.
Massive Immune Reaction Signal
The V-Safe data also show a massive signal with regard to the jab
causing an adverse immune reaction. Four million people, out of the 10
million — 40% — reported joint pain. Two million, or 20%, reported
"moderate" joint pain and 400,000, or 4%, classified the pain as
"severe."
As noted by Siri, joint pain is often a sign of an immune reaction
and could be cause for concern when it occurs after vaccination,
especially when you consider that the shots were supposed to protect the
elderly, who already tend to have joint problems.
The V-Safe database also reveals that even though fewer doses of
Moderna were registered, it's mRNA shot accounts for a larger portion of
negative effects, compared to Pfizer's jab.
ICAN has now built a searchable dashboard of this V-Safe data.2
In the video below, Albert Benavides (who goes by the name Welcome the
Eagle 88), an RCM expert, data analyst and auditor, provides a tour and
overview of how to use the dashboard, including some of its strengths
and weaknesses.
Why Did the CDC Fight to Keep V-Safe Data Hidden?
In an October 5, 2022, Substack article, Steve Kirsch commented on the V-Safe data dump:3
"V-Safe is a voluntary safety monitoring program put
in place by the CDC to monitor adverse reactions after people take a
vaccine. The V-Safe data shows that 33.1% of the people who got the
vaccine suffered from a significant adverse event and 7.7% had to seek
professional medical care.
These are extraordinary numbers. They clearly show
the vaccines are unsafe, that the CDC deliberately hid this information
from the American public, and that the drug companies falsified the data
in the trials ... the CDC is not protecting the American people. They
are protecting the manufacturers of the vaccines."
As noted by Kirsch, side effects could be either under- or
overestimated in V-Safe, or both, as some might ignore V-Safe requests
to answer questions, and others may only sign up or be incentivized to
fill out the questionnaire if they suffer a problem.
Additionally, the options for reporting a side effect are predefined
and very generic, so people might be experiencing effects that didn't
fit any of the predefined categories of injury. Importantly, death is
not reportable to V-Safe, as dead people cannot use their phones. So, we
have no way of knowing how many of these 10 million registered V-Safe
users have died.
However, "Whether the rates in V-Safe is over-reported or
under-reported is a red herring," Kirsch says. "The issue that should
concern everyone is the CDC concealed all the V-Safe data from everyone
the entire time."
In addition to spending taxpayer dollars to prevent the release of
this information — which we have every right to — the CDC also stopped
promoting use of V-Safe around May 2021, mere months into the COVID jab
rollout. As noted by Kirsch, this was probably because "it became
crystal clear that it was accumulating data that showed the vaccines
were unsafe."
CDC Ignored Clear 'Death' Signal
In an October 3, 2022, article,4
Kirsch also points out that the formula the CDC uses to trigger safety
signals — described in its VAERS standard operating procedures manual5 — is "seriously flawed." Could that be intentional as well?
In July 2021, Matthew Crawford published a three-part series6,7,8
on how the CDC was hiding safety signals. In August 2021, Kirsch also
informed the agency of these problems, but was, of course, ignored.
Still, "even using their own flawed formula, 'death' should have
triggered a signal," he writes. Yet the CDC did not notify the public of
what they'd found. Here's an excerpt from Kirsch article:9
"If you want objective proof of total ineptitude by
the CDC and the medical community in monitoring the safety of the COVID
vaccines, this is the article you've been waiting for. We use their
numbers and their own algorithm and show that it should have triggered a
safety signal for 'death.'
There is no way they can argue their way out of this
one ... We need look no further than the vaccine safety signal
monitoring formula10 used by the CDC to prove our point ...
The formula the CDC uses for generating safety
signals is fundamentally flawed; a 'bad' vaccine with lots of adverse
events will 'mask' large numbers of important safety signals ... Let me
summarize the key points for you in a nutshell:
PRR [proportional reporting ratio] is defined on page 16 in the CDC document11 as follows ...
A 'safety signal' is defined on page 16 in the CDC document as a PRR of at least 2, chi-squared statistic of at least 4, and
3 or more cases of the AE [adverse event] following receipt of the
specific vaccine of interest. This is the famous 'and clause.' Here it
is from the document:
Only someone who is incompetent or is deliberately trying to make the vaccines look safe would use the word 'and' in the definition of a safety signal. Using
'and' means that if any one of the conditions isn't satisfied, no
safety signal will be generated. As noted below, the PRR will rarely
trigger which virtually guarantees that most events generated by an
unsafe vaccine will never get flagged.
The PRR value for the COVID vaccines will rarely
exceed 1 because there are so many adverse events from the COVID vaccine
because it is so dangerous (i.e., B in the formula is a huge number) so
the numerator is always near zero. Hence, the 'safety signal' is rarely
triggered because the vaccine is so dangerous."
A Fictitious Example
Using a fictitious vaccine as the example, Kirsch goes on to explain
how an exceptionally dangerous vaccine will fly under the radar and not
get flagged, thanks to the CDC's flawed formula:12
"Suppose we have the world's most dangerous vaccine
that causes adverse events in everyone who gets it and generates 25,000
different adverse events, and each adverse event has 1,000 instances.
That means that the numerator is 1,000/25,000,000
which is just 40 events per million reported events. Now let's look at
actuals for something like deaths. For all other vaccines, there are
6,200 deaths and 1 million adverse events total.
Since 40 per million is less than 6,200 deaths per
million, we are not even close to generating a safety signal for deaths
from our hypothetical vaccine which killed 1,000 people in a year ...
The point is that a dangerous vaccine can look very 'safe' using the PRR
formula."
Calculating Death Signal for COVID Jab
Next, Kirsch calculates the PRR (proportional reporting ratio) for
death for the COVID jab, using VAERS data and the CDC's definitions and
formula.
As of December 31, 2019, there were 6,157 deaths and 918,717 adverse
events total for all vaccines other than the COVID shot. As of September
23, 2022, there were 31,214 deaths and 1.4 million adverse events total
for the COVID jabs. Here's the formula as explained by Kirsch:13
"PRR = (31,214/1.4e6) / (6,157/918,717) = 3.32, which exceeds the required threshold of 2. In other words, the
COVID vaccine is so deadly that even with all the adverse events
generated by the vaccine, the death signal did not get drowned out!
But there is still the chi-square test. Chi-square test results were 18,549 for 'death,' which greatly exceeds the required threshold of 4.
The CDC chi-square test is clearly satisfied for the COVID vaccine.
Because the death signal is so huge, it even survived the PRR test.
This means that even using the CDCs own erroneous ... formula, all three criteria were satisfied:
1. PRR>2 [PRR greater than 2]: It was 3.32
2. Chi-square>2 [Chi-square greater than 2]: It was 18,549
3. 3 or more reports: There were over 31,214 death reports received by VAERS ... which is more than 3
A safety signal should have been generated but
wasn't. Why not? ... Does anyone care? Hundreds of thousands of American
lives have been lost due to the inability of the CDC to deploy their
own flawed safety signal analysis ...
It's been known since at least 2004 that using reporting odds ratio (ROR) is a better estimate of relative risk than PRR.14 I don't know why the CDC doesn't use it."
CDC Cannot Claim It Didn't Know
The CDC is responsible for monitoring both VAERS and V-Safe, and
between these two databases, there's no possible way they could ever say
they didn't know the shots were harming and killing millions of
Americans.
The CDC also has access to other databases, including the Defense
Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), which (before it was intentionally
altered15) showed massive increases in debilitating and lethal conditions, including a tripling of cancer cases.16
The findings in these databases have never been brought forward
during any of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
(ACIP) meetings or the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products
Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) meetings, at which members have repeatedly
voted to authorize the jabs to people of all ages, including infants and
pregnant women.
If the CDC was in fact monitoring these databases, as required,
there's simply no way they could have continued to authorize these shots
based on the data. Is that why these data were never reviewed?
Probably. ACIP and VRBPAC members, for whatever reason, simply didn't
want to know the truth. But the CDC has known all along, and there's no
excuse for not sharing and acting on that data.
Help Spread the Word
The media are ignoring all of this — the V-Safe data and the CDC's
failure to act on a clear safety signal (and the signal being death, of
all things!), even when using a formula that was flawed from the start.
So, spread the word. Everyone needs to know these facts. It's not
speculation, it's the CDC's own data.
The CDC needs to explain why they spent our tax dollars to fight the
release of the V-Safe data for 15 months, and why they didn't halt the
shots when a "death" signal was evident. The mainstream press, members
of Congress, the medical community and Universities also need to explain
why they refuse to investigate these CDC data. To that end, here are a
few suggestions for how you can help:
Support Sen. Ron Johnson, currently the only senator willing to investigate the truth of the COVID jabs. |
Write or call your members of Congress and ask them
to investigate the CDC's safety monitoring. As noted by Kirsch, "You
simply cannot have a safety agency not be able to monitor safety." |
Contact your local newspaper and urge them to
investigate and report on the V-Safe data, the VAERS data and the CDC's
failure to act when a safety signal was detected. |
Share the data on social media and ask why no one in
the media, Congress, academia or medical community is investigating
these matters. |
Share this information with your doctor and members of the medical community. |
Also share it with university administrators, and
ask them to explain how and why, in light of these facts, they are still
mandating COVID shots for their students. |
