The acting CDC director cited concerns with the methodology, but the design has long been used to test vaccine effectiveness.

"The new charter places a heavy emphasis on vaccine safety and includes 'recovery from serious vaccine injuries' as among the types of expertise that would qualify someone to be a committee member. The document appears to draw from a petition to the health secretary by Aaron Siri, a lawyer who for years joined with Mr. Kennedy in court battles over vaccine safety."

"The CDC is currently without a permanent director. And a study showing that vaccines work would be rather inconvenient for an administration that has spent the past year telling pregnant women to 'fight like hell' not to take Tylenol.

There’s no need to speculate. A government health agency had a study showing its vaccine works, and a political appointee decided this was not yet the right moment for the public to know that."

"The study found updated COVID vaccines reduced covid-linked hospitalizations by 55% in healthy adults. Acting CDC director Jay Bhattacharya delayed publication over concerns about the study’s methodology. Two scientists familiar with the decision spoke about it on condition of anonymity, for fear of retaliation.

The timing is notable. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called covid vaccines 'the deadliest vaccine ever made.'”

"The government has data proving COVID vaccine saves lives, which is apparently classified information.

The acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has delayed publication of a report showing the COVID-19 vaccine cut the likelihood of emergency department visits and hospitalizations for healthy adults last winter by about half."

From AP News.com: Too young for the MMR shot, babies become 'sitting ducks' in measles outbreaks

Too young for measles vaccine, babies are 'sitting ducks' in outbreaks

Babies too young to be vaccinated are among the most vulnerable in measles outbreaks like the one in South Carolina, which is the largest the U.S. has seen in decades. Babies lack protection against the disease and are more likely to suffer severe complications or die. They completely depend on herd immunity, which requires nearly everyone to be vaccinated. But dropping vaccination rates have eroded protection in South Carolina and across the nation. Increasingly, some policymakers and officials push a view of vaccination as an issue of individual freedom, rather than one of public health. South Carolina’s outbreak, totaling about 1,000 cases, has slowed. But measles is spreading in many states, and the U.S. on the verge of losing its status as a country that has eliminated measles.
