Judge orders CDC to quickly turn over millions of COVID vaccine-injury reports by early patients
the public learned the earliest recipients reported a surprisingly high rate of listed moderate-to-severe adverse events following the jabs, about one-in-three.
The V-safe mobile app surveys didn't provide checkboxes for chest pain and other cardiac symptoms, requiring users to enter them as "free-text entries" up to 250 characters, despite the CDC including myocarditis and pericarditis as "adverse events of special interest" in the initial V-safe protocol.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk scolded the agency throughout his memorandum and order granting the motion for summary judgment by Freedom Coalition of Doctors for Choice, saying the CDC made weak excuses for withholding the free-text entries.
The agency grossly overstated how laborious the redaction-review process would be for a system that assigns a "registrant code" in lieu of identifying information, with one FOIA officer's declaration claiming it would take 59 years for a single analyst to conduct the review, the judge wrote.

"In 2024, American citizens may be more interested in COVID data" because of recent remarks by former National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins at a Braver Angels event, Kacsmaryk wrote in a footnote explaining why the burden on the agency to produce the records is not "unreasonable."
Collins expressed regret for the "public health mindset" he adopted and that is common in his field, which "attach[es] infinite value to stopping the disease" and "zero value to whether this actually totally disrupts people's lives, ruins the economy, and has many kids kept out of school in a way that they never might quite recover from."
"While 'Trust the Science' became something of a national slogan, the American public’s trust in science and scientists are at an all-time low," and FCDC is simply trying to "further the ideals" of the Biden administration, according to Kacsmaryk, a President Trump nominee who came to the federal bench from the religious liberty law firm First Liberty.

The agency used the data for its own studies that "considered just two weeks" after vaccination at most to judge safety and efficacy, a followup period independent researchers should be able to test, Kacsmaryk said. Vaccine-injured people, parents and medical professionals need the data to make informed decisions for their medical treatment, children and patients.
