CDC V-safe program a waste of taxpayer money
Nothing really to learn; already knew COVID vaccines unsafe and ineffective
A few loud people on substack have made noise that the V-safe program shows something new. It does not. The only thing to emphasize is that CDC wasted our money on a useless program.
I will share some information just so you are clear about this stupid effort.
It includes data from less than 4 percent of individuals who received a Covid-19 vaccine in the United States. People had to be invited or informed about the program to sign up. Personally, I know of no one who did. But according to newly released data, about 10.1 million people who got the vaccine provided information.
The program required the use of a smart phone. This means that many poor and elderly Americans could not participate.
Here are some other major reasons not to put too much value on the data. Most participants were on the East coast and were white and women.
There are no data on deaths linked to vaccine shots.
Here are the key data on adverse impacts:
nearly 8% required medical attention
nearly 13% missed work or school
nearly 12% could not do normal activities
nearly 6.5 million health impacts were reported
about 1 million had severe fatigue
There were over 4 million reports of joint pain. While around 2 million of these joint pain reports were mild, over 1.8 million were for moderate joint pain and over 400,000 were for severe joint pain.
Most of the data were reported in 2021 and very little in 2022, through August.
The v-safe program is no better than the VAERS system of volunteered reports of adverse impacts, including deaths.
Shame on CDC.
Yes. As a self reported system it by definition cannot track ANY debilitating effects. The collection of fields CDC provides in vsafe are also mostly vague nothingburgers, focussed on predetermined, expected side effects like rashes or injection site pain… For something held up as the next generation tracking tool to replace VAERS, VAERS beats it (even with all its flaws) hands down.
I agree that the V-safe release was not revelatory wrt data on jabs harms, but the means by which it was released (two courts cases) revealed the CDC's strong effort to suppress even this small subset. Of course, the legacy media have suppressed the entire story, and the news bounced off the people who really needed to hear it.
Yes, we need a better collection data base. Kinda hard for very ill or dead people to report their condition.
Didn't Maddie de Garay's mother report to V-safe?
