NY Times Stunning Admission About CDC Vaccine Data
The New York Times made an eye-popping admission on Sunday regarding data collected by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on Covid-19 vaccines.
In an article titled, “The C.D.C. Isn’t Publishing Large Portions of the Covid Data It Collects,” reporter Apoorva Mandavilli writes: “For more than a year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has collected data on hospitalizations for Covid-19 in the United States and broken it down by age, race and vaccination status. But it has not made most of the information public.”
Mandavilli, who covers science and global health for the Times, reported that the agency has published “only a tiny fraction of the data it has collected” since the pandemic began, including data on booster efficacy for 18 – 49 year-olds, a tremendous chunk of the U.S. population.
Reasons listed include bureaucracy, sample size, and not being “ready for prime time,” but one that’s definitely set to raise lots of eyebrows is the claim that the data could be “misinterpreted” by Covid vaccine skeptics.
From the report:
Last year, the agency repeatedly came under fire for not tracking so-called breakthrough infections in vaccinated Americans, and focusing only on individuals who became ill enough to be hospitalized or die.
The agency presented that information as risk comparisons with unvaccinated adults, rather than provide timely snapshots of hospitalized patients stratified by age, sex, race and vaccination status.
But the C.D.C. has been routinely collecting information since the Covid vaccines were first rolled out last year, according to a federal official familiar with the effort. The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public, the official said, because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective.
Instead, health experts have been forced to rely on data from Israel and elsewhere to make decisions, the Times reported.

I’d hate to see data showing that the injections are ‘ineffective’, and then misinterpret those data with an understanding that the injections are ‘ineffective’.

A group of academics from MIT in early 2020 analysed how skeptics were using public health data: “Viral Visualizations: How Coronavirus Skeptics Use Orthodox Data Practices to Promote Unorthodox Science Online”
They bemoaned that “skeptics” were able to use the public health data professionally, and use the data to convincingly bring across the “skeptic” view, more so than “orthodox” agencies.
The best recommendation they had was to stop publishing good data.

So does this make the NYTIMES a right wing conspiracy rag?

I would say not. It means for once they published accurately.

February 20, 2022 68,000% Increase in Strokes as FDA and NIH Secretly Study Reports of Neurological Injuries After COVID-19 Vaccines
A team at the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), meanwhile, started seeing patients reporting vaccine injuries for a study in early 2021 after receiving complaints shortly after the vaccines were made available. A portion of the patients was examined in person at the Bethesda, Maryland, facility.

Leftist outlets such as the NYT have absolutely no self-awareness. They’re effectively telling us that we must all live in a post-truth society, where a narrative about how to interpret reality is more important than reality itself. Objective truth, logic, empirical facts, none of that is permissible any longer. Those are all dogwhistles for white privilege, sexism, fascism, etc etc etc.
Our woke masters are the only ones allowed to set the narrative, and any questions or dissension are immediately demonized as “misinformation”, to be punished by cancel culture with extreme measures. Anything not compulsory is forbidden, and they have authorized themselves as judge, jury, and executioner.
