But it did so in a manner that obscures younger individuals\u2019 overall Covid risks, which is very low, instead attempting to force a comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals\u2019 hospitalization. The exact data about Covid risks by specific age has not been released in any graphical or easily viewable form anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>This rationale for deliberately hiding government-collected effectiveness data was even confirmed by the CDC\u2019s spokeswoman, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchmilitant.com\/news\/article\/cdc-hiding-the-truth\">Kristen Nordlund<\/a>. This taxpayer-funded agency didn\u2019t want to give taxpayers the full picture of vaccine effectiveness\u2014for their own good.<\/p>\n<p>It also feels confident enough to publicly admit this, but only after many Americans were fired from their jobs and suffered from serious <a href=\"https:\/\/openvaers.com\/covid-data\">adverse events and deaths<\/a> after they were forced to take shots they didn\u2019t want <em>based precisely on false narratives<\/em> fueled by CDC duplicity.<\/p>\n<p>That rationale from the CDC hardly justifies the fact that the selective omission of public health information is more than clinical malpractice; it is scientific fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Right thinking Americans have suspected for about two years now that the CDC, and especially Anthony Fauci, have not been honest with the American people about Covid. Americans don\u2019t have to be experts in vaccine epidemiology to understand the dynamics of what is happening vaccine effectiveness and safety, they just have to use their own eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Every time these federal employees uttered the phrase \u201cfollow the science,\u201d they actually meant, \u201cDo what we say and don\u2019t question it, or we\u2019ll punish you.\u201d True scientists don\u2019t release partial data or hide their data. Yet after severe damage is done to government credibility and the country\u2019s social fabric, now even The New York Times can\u2019t deny that the CDC hid the truth about booster efficacy from Americans because it would contradict this administration\u2019s political goals.<\/p>\n<p>It is not the duty of America\u2019s putatively \u201cnon-partisan\u201d CDC or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to mindlessly echo support for White House talking points or to protect failed, poorly thought-through policies. Many Americans trust these agencies to objectively give Americans a\u00a0<em>full scientific disclosure <\/em>and state the\u00a0<em>unvarnished facts on vaccine effectiveness and safety<\/em>. Anything less is clinically, scientifically, and ethically contemptible.<\/p>\n<p>The official narrative was put forward most clearly by President Biden when he said, \u201cIf you\u2019re out there unvaccinated, you don\u2019t have to die . . . get the vaccine.\u201d This was followed by mass vaccine mandates, mask mandates, continued lockdowns, and <a href=\"https:\/\/eppc.org\/publication\/the-fda-shouldnt-cut-corners-on-child-vax-safety\/\">rushed vaccination projects<\/a> for children as young as five years old and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/coronavirus-vaccine-children-pfizer-fda-2fca5aee-9f75-4eca-bd97-99d35529aeaa.html\">even younger<\/a>. It all flew in the face of the science that showed young healthy people, and especially children, were incredibly unlikely to die from Covid, but no matter.<\/p>\n<p>But then the truth came out. Boosters have proven so ineffective they\u2019re rarely mentioned anymore, even by the most zealous of the liberal faithful. The vaccine\u2019s ability to limit Covid mutation transmission quickly plummeted to the point of being <a href=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/vnouq3-twitter-user-video-showing-the-shifting-narrative-in-vaccine-efficacy.html\">laughable<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hiding the fact that boosting already double-vaccinated healthy young people is practically worthless is scandalous enough on its own. But it becomes doubly egregious considering the safety risks of getting the shot again and again.<\/p>\n<p>When dead bodies of otherwise healthy young people <em>weren\u2019t <\/em>piling up in the streets during the Omicron surge this winter, you would have expected the CDC to take an undeserved victory lap by claiming their relentless promotion of vaccine boosters had come to the rescue. But a funny thing happened on the road to self-congratulation.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of the safety issues and the lack of efficacy in Omicron, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/pfizer-ceo-fourth-covid-19-vaccine-dose-neccessary_4334523.html\/?utm_source=partner&amp;utm_campaign=TheLibertyDaily\">Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla<\/a> has begun pushing a fourth dose of its vaccine, yet still hasn\u2019t presented any clinical data to support that claim, and doesn\u2019t have a <em>single thing<\/em> to say about safety or <a href=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FJ5IccwWUA0Z6p8.jpg\">natural immunity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Americans have also never heard the White House objectively discuss vaccine safety. All we\u2019ve all heard is <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/healthcare\/574110-biden-gets-vaccine-booster-shot-calls-it-safe-and-effective\">Biden<\/a> and Fauci repeat the empty platitude that the vaccine is \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XklQx1lrTOw\">safe and effective<\/a>.\u201d But exactly <em>how<\/em> safe we are never told, because we still do not know the data they are relying on to make those statements.<\/p>\n<p>CDC scientists and clinicians are violating their own taxpayer-funded agency\u2019s ethical, scientific and public health codes and policies to protect the American public. What should the consequences be?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not complaining about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/davidgortler\/2021\/08\/24\/how-the-fdas-lack-of-transparency-undermines-public-trust\/\">lack of transparency<\/a> of top-secret military information that would endanger our national security; I\u2019m talking about public health information regarding drug safety and vaccine efficacy. This selective omission of public health data is fraud, and top agency officials should be made an example of for their unethical behavior.<\/p>\n<p>An even more gruesome thought is: If these officials were despicable enough to omit these data, <em>what else<\/em> do Americans still not know about \u201cfor their own good\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>The day of reckoning for endangering American lives needs to come, and the sooner the better.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/topics\/author\/david-gortler\">Dr. David Gortler<\/a> is a pharmacologist, pharmacist, and an FDA and health policy fellow at the <a href=\"https:\/\/eppc.org\/author\/david_gortler\/%22%20%5Ct%20%22_blank%22%20%5Co%20%22https:\/eppc.org\/author\/david_gortler\/\">Ethics and Public Policy Center<\/a>.
