The Sound Of Settled Science

Safe and Effective Unsettled Science 15 Comments

The CDC has updated its “Autism and vaccines” page.

Pursuant to the Data Quality Act (DQA), which requires federal agencies to ensure the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information they disseminate to the public, this webpage has been updated because the statement “Vaccines do not cause autism” is not an evidence-based claim. Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism. However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy.

HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links. This webpage will be updated with gold-standard science that results from the HHS comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism as required by the DQA.

I expect we’ll be hearing lots about this.

In 2023 the Office for National Statistics quietly ended its “Deaths by Vaccination Status” series

The UK’s Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has recently been exposed for its blatant refusal to release critical data that could reveal a potential link between Covid-19 shots and the nation’s alarming surge in excess deaths. This is not a simple case of bureaucratic foot-dragging but what can be described as a deliberate data blackout.

As The Telegraph reveals in a damning exposé, UKHSA officials invoked the “distress or anger” of bereaved families as their shield, arguing that any hint of correlation in the data might shatter the emotional well-being of those left behind.

Juno News (paywalled);

Following accusations that a consulting firm pocketed nearly 70 per cent of taxpayers’ dollars meant to go to the federal vaccine injury compensation fund, Conservatives are calling for the money to be returned to Canadians.

During Question Period in the House of Commons on Friday, the Conservative health critic Dan Mazier grilled the Liberals over their “failed” Vaccine Injury Support Program, blasting them for hiring the “high-priced” consulting firm OXARO to administer the fund.

Great Success!

You’d think by now the doom mongers would be taking a break. Far from it. At every opportunity, they’re doubling down.

This is what it’s come down to: if you have the sniffles and test negative for COVID, you better lock yourself in the house just in case the test was inaccurate. Might as well quit your job at that rate.

“If that test is negative, it might be what’s called a false negative, or not positive yet,” Coles said. In that case, you should test again in three or four days to ensure you don’t have COVID, she added. “Because if you have COVID, we want you to stay home, protect yourself and protect others as well,” Coles said.

Nature: Association of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status with risk of influenza-like illness and loss of workdays in healthcare workers

Conclusions

Based on our data, we conclude that SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccination does not contribute to the protection of the healthcare workforce in a post-pandemic setting. SARS-CoV-2 vaccination may even temporarily increase the likelihood of symptomatic infection and workday loss.

We criticize the main stream press a lot on this site but good on Global for diving into this issue. Credit where credits due.

Global News- Inside Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program

However, a five-month-long Global News investigation, involving more than 30 interviews with current and former Oxaro employees, injured claimants and their attorneys, has uncovered allegations that the company was unequipped to deliver fully on the program’s mission, questions about why the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) chose this company over others, and internal documents that suggest poor planning from the start.

Global News also heard descriptions of a workplace that lacked the gravitas of a program meant to assist the seriously injured and chronically ill: drinking in the office, ping pong, slushies and Netflix streaming at desks.

Global- Federal auditors target vaccine injury program amid surprise Oxaro office visit

PHAC and Oxaro underestimated the number of injury claims VISP would get, initially predicting 40 per year and then up to 400 valid claims annually. More than 3,000 applications have been filed — of those, 1,700 people are still waiting for their claim to be decided.

Some injured applicants say they face a revolving door of unreachable VISP case managers and fundraise online to survive.
