CDC Blocks Publication of COVID-19 Vaccine Efficacy Study

A CDC study showing that last winter's COVID-19 vaccine reduced emergency department visits and hospitalizations by approximately 50% has been blocked from publication in the agency's flagship journal.

Blocked Report

A report showing the efficacy of the covid-19 vaccine that was previously delayed by the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been blocked from being published in the agency's flagship scientific journal, with the report showing that the vaccine reduced emergency department visits and hospitalizations among healthy adults by about half this past winter.

Scientific Review Cleared

The report, which had cleared the agency's scientific-review process, had been delayed and now won't be published at all.

Transparency Concerns

An unpublished report showed last winter's covid vaccine reduced hospitalizations among healthy adults.
