EXCLUSIVE: Vaccinated Outbreak at CDC Conference Bigger Than Reported
epoch times ^ | 12 August A.D. 2023 | Zachery Steiber

Posted on 08/12/2023 7:30:08 PM PDT by lightman

The COVID-19 outbreak among vaccinated people that broke out at a conference held by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was bigger than disclosed, according to files obtained by The Epoch Times.

After the outbreak took place in April, the CDC reported results from surveys sent to attendees.

The CDC said that 181 respondents reported testing positive for COVID-19.

But that number was actually 183, according to the newly obtained files.

The public health agency also failed to disclose that hundreds of attendees did not get tested, even some who experienced symptoms.

Some 601 attendees who responded to the survey said they did not get tested for COVID-19, the files show, including 34 who reported experiencing COVID-like symptoms, being ill, or both.

The CDC did not respond to a request for comment.

Vaccinated Person Went to Emergency Room

In a statement on the outbreak, which only affected vaccinated people, the CDC emphasized that no attendee reported being hospitalized.

“None of the 181 people who reported testing positive were hospitalized,” the agency said.

The agency did not mention that one of the vaccinated people suffered such severe symptoms that they went to the emergency room, according to the newly obtained files.

The agency had claimed that, despite the outbreak, the survey results “underline the importance of vaccination for protecting individuals against severe illness and death related to COVID-19.”

The CDC has recommended COVID-19 vaccination for virtually all people since late 2020, when the vaccines were first authorized. Some experts have said the risks appear to outweigh the benefits for certain or all populations, a number of doctors have said they themselves will not get booster shots due to lack of clinical trial evidence, and recent data indicate the vaccines don’t protect for very long against severe illness.

Took Drugs

The conference took place from April 24 to April 27 at a hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, where the CDC is headquartered. About 1,800 people, including some CDC employees, attended the conference.

CDC officials created a survey and sent it to attendees for details on a COVID-19 outbreak that developed during the conference. More than 80 percent, or 1,443 attendees, responded.

All but eight people said they had received a COVID-19 vaccine.

The CDC confirmed previously that all respondents who reported testing positive had received a vaccine.

Attendees were also asked to report the level of health care they sought. Options included receiving antiviral medication, finding outpatient care, going to an emergency room, and being hospitalized. People could tick more than one answer.

No attendees reported being hospitalized.

Forty-nine people said they found outpatient care or consulted with a medical professional remotely, known as telehealth. And 53 said they took an antiviral medication.

Also, 278 people said that they became ill but chose not to seek any level of health care.

Many With Bivalent

Many of the attendees had received a new COVID-19 vaccine, the files indicate.

Of those responding, 958 said they’d received their most recent dose in September 2022 or later.

Updated COVID-19 vaccines were cleared without trial data in August 2022, recommended for nearly all Americans by the CDC, and rolled out in September 2022.

Authorities are poised to clear and recommend another batch of new vaccines this fall, according to the CDC. Pattern of Misleading on Breakthrough Metrics

The failure to report the emergency room visit and note that hundreds of attendees did not get tested fits the CDC’s pattern of misleading on so-called breakthrough cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, or metrics among the vaccinated.

The CDC’s now-former director, for instance, falsely said on television in the spring of 2021 that vaccinated people would not get sick or transmit COVID-19. The agency has acknowledged that data did not support those claims.

The CDC also changed how it counts breakthrough cases in early 2021, within months of recommending the vaccines, according to documents obtained by The Epoch Times. The change meant that cases among the vaccinated that happened within 14 days, before completion of a primary series, did not count as breakthrough cases.

Before making the change, top officials had discussed “vaccine failure,” or breakthrough cases.

The CDC stopped counting breakthrough cases in May 2021.

Not to mention “958 said they’d received their most recent dose in September 2022 or later.”

I can agree with that based on real experience.

“They should have been vaccinated.”

if you read the article, they were all fully vaccinated. they just didn’t have the latest booster that will be released any day now.

Hopefully they and everyone they know will get the new trivalent booster as soon as it is available.

An ineffective booster against a disease so mild you need to take a test to be sure that you have it.

The article says, “ Many With Bivalent” didn’t seem to work.
You are recommending “Trivalent” this may work.
Maybe “Quadrivalent” will work or not.
I’m waiting for test results from “Pentavalent.”

Ah hell who am I kidding, I’m still a hard NO.

I know a doctor who never got the jab. He said that he’s read the literature and it’s not even a vaccine. And if he were required to take the jab he would quit medicine before he did.

Ha, there were people right here on FR urging us to get the jab so that "we could get back to normal"

Back then, as now, my response was/is:
