Earlier in February the CDC released data which shows the effectiveness of COVID-19 booster shots. Great, right? Except they didn’t release all the data. They withheld all the data for 18 to 49 year-olds.
What? Why?
I’m glad you asked. According to CDC spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund, the majority of the data, specifically the data for the 18 to 49 year-old age groups, is “not yet ready for prime time.” Apparently they are afraid the data could potentially lead to misinformation.
The CDC has been collecting data on the COVID-19 vaccine since it was first made available to the public. And people have been calling for the data showing it’s effectiveness for a long time. And now they have finally released it. The purpose of releasing the data is to prove to the public boosters are effective and regain the support and trust of the American people, which has started to fade in recent months, and demonstrate the effectiveness of the vaccine boosters.
However, it would seem that a very large section of that data does not support this, and because the data may lead people to draw the wrong conclusions it has been withheld- in the best interest of the public.
COVID-19 has been highly politicized, and used for political gain, and as a political weapon since the very beginning.
When Trump called for travel bans from China (where the virus originated) Democrats called him xenophobic and racist.
When President Trump called for travel bans from China (where the virus originated) Democrats called him xenophobic and racist.
When Trump called for lock downs and for people to wear masks, he was accused by Democrats of fear mongering.
When when Trump tried to loosen COVID restrictions, Democrats accused him of not taking the virus seriously and putting lives of Americans at risk.
Presidential Candidate Biden even suggested in Sep 2020 that Trump should be removed from office when deaths from the virus reached 200k (when there was no vaccine.) Yet President Biden bragged about what a great job he was doing to protect the American people from the virus even though deaths from the virus under his administration exceeded 250k in Sep of 2021 under his administration (despite having what Biden insists is a highly effective vaccine.)
Under the Biden administration, the federal government widely distributes information that supports their policies and positions, and actively suppresses information that does not. It has been filled with Hollywood style sets, paid actors, staged events, and scripted press conferences where only pre-aproved questions are answered from pre-aproved reporters.
I think, at this point, maybe what we should really be asking ourselves is:
Who is John Galt?
