CDC Officials Admit Agency Has Withheld Critical Covid Information From the Public, Including Data About Breakthrough Infections, Over Fears of “Vaccine Hesitancy”
GP ^ | 02/20/22 | Julian Conradson

Throughout the pandemic, the CDC has diligently maintained a running tally of Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths for the public to view – you know, all of the numbers that make up the majority of virus fear porn.

But that information amounts to just a fraction of the data that has been collected by the agency.

According to a new report by the New York Times, the CDC has also been collecting much more detailed data about Covid infections that breaks down by age, race, and vaccination status. The critical information would go a long way towards figuring out an end to the pandemic, but the agency has purposefully suppressed the information from the public over fears that it would be “misinterpreted” and cause “vaccine hesitancy.”

In other words, the ‘experts’ in the US public health regime believe the plebs aren’t capable enough to interpret something themselves.

Within the data that has been withheld by the CDC are detailed information about breakthrough cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, which the agency has been collecting since the beginning of the vaccine rollout, according to officials who spoke to the NYT.

So much for the bogus lie that has been pushed by public health officials for months, claiming that breakthrough infections weren’t being tracked at all. The medical elites just decided to hide the data because it didn’t fit the approved narrative, and, naturally, blamed the potential for ‘misinformation’ as justification for the coverup.

From the New York Times:

Kristen Nordlund, a spokeswoman for the C.D.C., said the agency has been slow to release the different streams of data “because basically, at the end of the day, it’s not yet ready for prime time.” She said the agency’s “priority when gathering any data is to ensure that it’s accurate and actionable.”

Another reason is fear that the information might be misinterpreted, Ms. Nordlund said.”

The performance of vaccines and boosters, particularly in younger adults, is among the most glaring omissions in data the C.D.C. has made public.

Last year, the agency repeatedly came under fire for not tracking so-called breakthrough infections in vaccinated Americans, and focusing only on individuals who became ill enough to be hospitalized or die. The agency presented that information as risk comparisons with unvaccinated adults, rather than provide timely snapshots of hospitalized patients stratified by age, sex, race and vaccination status.

But the C.D.C. has been routinely collecting information since the Covid vaccines were first rolled out last year, according to a federal official familiar with the effort. The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public, the official said, because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective.

Ms. Nordlund confirmed that as one of the reasons. Another reason, she said, is that the data represents only 10 percent of the population of the United States. But the C.D.C. has relied on the same level of sampling to track influenza for years.”

Why would data about breakthrough infections fuel ‘vaccine hesitancy?’ Could it be because the numbers really look that bad?

They’re not worried about public health.

They’re worried about THEIR health.

Our government loves secrecy.

Their first instinct is to conceal information from the very taxpayers WHO FUND THEIR AGENCIES AND PAY THEIR SALARIES!

Withholding information from the public is what a traitorous kakistocracy does.

So, letting folks die is preferable to being found to have ZERO credibility. I see. And law suits? Oh, exempt. Okee dokee then. But don’t protest or you could be trampled by some horsees. We remain “NON GMO”!

So of course we knew this already:

1. Because it is the inherent nature of government.
2. Because they did it with masking “guidance”

This is why I instantly had serious doubts about anyone trying to convince me of anything by using Government information.

Why do we not know how many have died within 30 days of the shot?

Something is becoming very clear. If Conservatives ever regain the power, the CDC and NIH need to be disbanded and banned as much as any other 3 letter agencies.

The fact that we don’t know.... is all I need to know. Or at least a huge component of all I need to know.

If it was good, they would be shouting it from the rooftops.

Ask your local health departments to release covid data on breakthroughs and reinfections. They have the data too. Also, ask for data by “immune status” not “vaccination status”. They used “vaccination status” as a way to hide data on natural immunity. “Immune status” breaks down the unvaccinated into two groups: unvaccinated with no prior covid (no immunity) and unvaccinated with prior covid (natural immunity). The natural immunity data is routinely buried in the “unvaccinated” category as a way to keep its effectiveness from the public.

I’m reading that it was CDC who recommended not evicting folks from their apartment as that would ensure a greated spread of Covid. How stupid is that. My buddy lost thousands..........and it can’t be recovered.

Governments around the World have lied to the people from the very start of the vaccine rollout

More specifically, their financial health.

The major push on all this has been two-fold: excuse to corrupt elections, $$$ for Pharm and back to politicos.

Science was never involved.
