Representatives Jim Jordan and Thomas Massey on Thursday threatened to subpoena the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for records on the effectiveness of coronavirus vaccines in people who have already had the virus.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Mr. Jordan (R-Ohio) and Administrative State Subcommittee Chairman Mr. Massey (R-Ky.) made this threat in a letter to CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen. I did it. It was obtained exclusively by The Post as part of an investigation into the effectiveness of federally mandated COVID-19 shots.
If the CDC does not submit the information by May 30, both Republican chairs vowed to “resort to mandatory procedures to obtain the information.”
“On December 6, 2023, Chairman Massey wrote a letter requesting documents and information related to the CDC investigation announced on October 29, 2021.[,] That likely confirmed the CDC’s inaccurate claims about the vaccine’s effectiveness,” Jordan and Massey told Cohen.
“The CDC continues to promote some of this information even after being notified that its messages are inaccurate, and continues to adamantly maintain that these misrepresentations are correct,” they wrote. Stated.
Jordan and Massey requested all documents in unredacted form after Jordan first requested the materials last October.
In a letter to Cohen dated Oct. 20, 2023, Massey said he spoke with four CDC officials about the inaccurate claims early in the pandemic. [COVID] “The vaccine was 92% effective in people with a history of infection,” the amendment request prompted the then-chief medical officer of the agency’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases to call him “an eagle-eyed masse.” I was given a nickname.
Neither clinical trial data on the Pfizer vaccine nor the Food and Drug Administration’s analysis of that data supported that finding as of December 2020.
Despite a promise to remove misleading claims and another official’s admission that there wasn’t “enough” data to prove it, the CDC only made a partial change in January 2021. He said the vaccine’s effectiveness is “equally high” in people who have been vaccinated and those who have not. COVID-19 infection.
“I wouldn’t want my child to get these COVID-19 vaccinations,” Massey said. Posted in X September 23, 2023, in response to the CDC’s recommendation to vaccinate all children 6 months and older.
“This is just one example of their unscientific approach to data. In characterizing the risks and benefits of vaccination, they do not differentiate between ‘previously infected’ and those who have never been infected,” he said. added.
President Biden’s executive order mandating vaccination for all federal employees was blocked by a court in March 2023, but was struck down two months later, days before the national pandemic emergency ended. .
Branches of the U.S. military also discharged thousands of service members who refused to fire before welcoming troops home late last year. Only a few dozen have returned so far.
The largest vaccine study ever published in February, involving 99 million people in eight countries, found that the coronavirus vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca were linked to rare heart, brain and blood disorders. It turned out that it was.
Massey was the first lawmaker to introduce a bill to ban mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for non-Americans, a Republican lawmaker who would face fines for appearing on the House floor without a mask in June 2021. He is one of three people seeking answers from the CDC about public health restrictions. Pandemic.
So far, the agency has submitted only 27 documents to the subcommittee, a far cry from the “fulfilling and responsive” answers the House committee was “confident” it would receive. It is stated in the letter.
One of those productions is a redacted portion of emails that had already been made public through a 2021 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, and is a compilation of four emails since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, more than a year later, it signals further obfuscation by U.S. public health officials.
The Post has reached out to the CDC for comment.
