EXCLUSIVE: FDA Withholding Autopsy Results on People Who Died After Getting COVID-19 Vaccines

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is refusing to release the results of autopsies conducted on people who died after getting COVID-19 vaccines.

The FDA says it is barred from releasing medical files, but a drug safety advocate says that it could release the autopsies with personal information redacted.

The refusal was issued to The Epoch Times, which submitted a Freedom of Information Act for all autopsy reported obtained by the FDA concerning any deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System following COVID-19 vaccination.

Reports are lodged with the system when a person experiences an adverse event, or a health issue, after receiving a vaccine. The FDA and other agencies are tasked with investigating the reports. Authorities request and review medical records to vet the reports, including autopsies.

The FDA declined to release any reports, even redacted copies.

The FDA cited federal law, which enables agencies to withhold information if the agency “reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by an exemption,” with the exemption being “personnel and medical files and similar files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”

Federal regulations also bar the release of “personnel, medical and similar files the disclosure of which constitutes a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”

The Epoch Times has appealed the denial, in addition to the recent denial of results of data analysis of VAERS reports.

Kim Witczak, a drug safety advocate who advises the FDA as part of the Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee, said that the reports could be released with personal information blacked out.

“The personal information could easily be redacted without losing the potential learnings from [the] autopsy,” Witczak told The Epoch Times via email.

Gee, I wonder why the fed gov would want to conceal such information? Maybe they will be transparent enough to let us to see the data in 75 years?

Since when does the FDA have any say about a local jurisdiction public record performed by a county coroner?

I can say that the leading cause of death in Alberta Canada is "unknown". That's not at all typical. It used to be pretty uncommon for the medical authorities in Alberta to be so stumped. But, over the past couple years, people have been dropping dead up there and the doctors just can't figure out the cause. So the death certificates say "unknown".

Autopsies are public record. Families are free to release them. Families are free to conduct their own autopsies.

The FDA doesn’t have that much control.

The FDA has copies of the records. They KNOW those records show.

Yes we, you and I, can request copies from every single county coroner in the US and eventually assemble the same data set.

The FDA has that data, has the statistical extractions of that data and will NOT let us know what the data clearly shows.

The FDA can only control the release of what the local coroners' offices allow them to control. Extra legal, but purse strings compelling.

The FDA, OTOH, has total control, and suppression, of the data the FDA has in hand.

I bet a FOIA request would take decades to process...

"Autopsies are public record."

Not everywhere. Vital Records Explained: Are Autopsies Public Records?

The point of getting the records from the FDA that have been entered into VAERS is to get cumulative, nationwide data instead of having to fight numerous jurisdictions over records that in some cases aren't public by law.

Perzakly. Epoch Times is being denied even a identifying information redacted data summary.

Decades for a FOIA, I said. I meant it.

In fact, autopsies in Vermont are not public record:

They are in MA, in the sense the family can get the report. Obviously, they are in a searchable database.

Coroners have reportedly been reading to do autopsies on unexpected unattended, are slw-walking results on autopsies they can’t get out of doing.

A lot of families might like to have one done independently, but can’t afford it. They run low four figures and up.

If they can afford one.
