Senator confirms CDC ‘continues to fail’ to take its safety responsibilities seriously

Career staff at the Food and Drug Administration spun the autopsy results of dead children to reduce the number of children suspected of dying from the COVID vaccine, according to internal FDA emails released by Sen. Ron Johnson, two former FDA officials, and a forensic pathologist who investigated two of the deaths.
Even after downplaying some of the previously suspected deaths, the FDA’s Division of Pharmacovigilance recommended a change to the label of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines to warn the public about the risk of “myocarditis with fatal outcomes” — heart inflammation and death — but that change never happened.
Johnson released the new FDA emails in a June 16 letter demanding more information about a recent $1.24 billion purchase by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for Pfizer vaccines despite bipartisan concerns about their safety.
The FDA did not respond to a request for comment. Pfizer and Moderna did not respond to requests for comment.
Johnson’s Homeland Security and Government Affairs Select Subcommittee on Investigations has received a trove of millions of emails and other records from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his investigative team has released reports and conducted hearings drawing from the documents.
“The safety issues with the COVID-19 injections that the Subcommittee has uncovered so far should have raised serious concerns at HHS and CDC about the mRNA COVID-19 Injections,” Johnson wrote in the letter. “Instead, CDC’s reported awarding of approximately $1.24 billion in new contracts to Pfizer for a vaccine linked to serious adverse events—including potentially the deaths of children—suggests CDC continues to fail to take its vaccine safety responsibilities seriously.”
