It also said that performing them was \u201coutside th[e] agency\u2019s purview.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Confronted with the contradiction, Dr. John Su, a CDC official, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/exclusive-cdc-says-it-performed-vaccine-safety-data-mining-after-saying-it-didnt_4617563.html\">told The Epoch Times<\/a>\u00a0in July that the agency started performing PRRs in February 2021 and \u201ccontinues to do so to date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But just weeks later, the CDC said Su was wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCDC performed PRRs from March 25, 2022 through July 31, 2022,\u201d a spokeswoman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/exclusive-cdc-admits-it-gave-false-information-about-covid-19-vaccine-surveillance_4657836.html\">told The Epoch Times<\/a>\u00a0in August.<\/p>\n<p>Walensky\u2019s new letter, dated Sept. 2 and sent on Sept. 6 to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), shows that Walensky is aware that her agency gave false information.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Lacked Any Justification\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Walensky\u2019s letter included no explanation of why that happened.<\/p>\n<p>The letter \u201clacked any justification for why CDC performed PRRS during certain periods and not others,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Johnson, the top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Investigations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/22309652-sen-johnson-letter-to-cdcs-walensky\">told Walensky in a response<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou also provided no explanation as to why Dr. Su\u2019s assertion \u2026 completely contradicts the CDC\u2019s [initial] response \u2026 as well as your September 6, 2022, response to me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He demanded answers from the CDC on the situation, including why the CDC did not perform PRRs until March and why the agency misinformed the public when it said no PRRs were conducted.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC and Walensky did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt no time have any CDC employees intentionally provided false information,\u201d a\u00a0CDC spokesperson, when correcting the agency\u2019s previous responses, told The Epoch Times via email in August.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson claimed that the false information was given because the CDC thought The Epoch Times and Children\u2019s Health Defense, which received the first response, were asking about a different type of analysis called\u00a0Empirical Bayesian data mining. But both The Epoch Times and Children\u2019s Health Defense specifically listed PRRs in their queries.<\/p>\n<h2>Stonewalling<\/h2>\n<p>The CDC has still not provided the results of the PRRs that were performed to The Epoch Times. It also did not provide them to Johnson. The\u00a0Food and Drug Administration, which has conducted\u00a0Empirical Bayesian data mining on\u00a0Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System reports, recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/exclusive-fda-refuses-to-provide-key-covid-19-vaccine-safety-analyses_4722586.html\">refused to provide<\/a> any of the results to the Epoch Times.<\/p>\n<p>Walensky alleged in the new letter that\u00a0Empirical Bayesian data mining is more reliable, and that the PRR results \u201cwere generally consistent with EB data mining,\u00a0revealing no additional unexpected safety signals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, because of your failure to provide these analyses to Congress and to the American people, the public cannot verify your assertion,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the CDC\u2019s \u201coverall lack of transparency is unacceptable particularly in light of CDC\u2019s inconsistent statements on this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-zachary-stieber\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Zachary Stieber covers U.S. and world news.
