CDC accused of failing to do required data analysis on Covid vaccine

 Washington Examiner:

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is demanding answers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after the agency told a nonprofit group that it never conducted a mandated data mining analysis on reported adverse effects that followed the administration of COVID-19 vaccine doses.

The CDC is tasked with performing a proportional reporting ratio, or PRR, data mining analysis on a weekly basis to determine whether the amount of reported "adverse events" following the administration of COVID-19 vaccine doses in the public Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, database is proportional to reported adverse events linked to the administration of other vaccines.

But the CDC said in a June 16 letter to Children's Health Defense, a nonprofit group led by anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., that "no PRRs were conducted by the CDC." The CDC's letter, which was in response to an FOIA request submitted by the group, added that "data mining is outside of th[e] agency's purview."

COVID-19 VACCINE MANDATE SPARKS CRISIS IN NATIONAL GUARD

VAERS standard operating procedures state clearly that the CDC "will perform PRR data mining on a weekly basis or as needed."

CDC physician Dr. John Su later contradicted his agency's statement, telling the Epoch Times on Saturday: "CDC has been performing PRRs since Feb 2021, and continues to do so to date."

Su manages the VAERS database at the CDC's Immunization Safety Office.

Johnson said in a letter to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky that the CDC's assertion to Children's Health Defense in June and Su's statement to the Epoch Times on Saturday could not be true at the same time.

"The American people deserve the truth and you have not been providing it. That is why I, together with millions of Americans, have completely lost faith in the CDC and other federal health agencies," Johnson wrote in the letter. "It is time to start regaining their confidence and your agency's integrity by coming clean, being transparent, and telling the truth."

Johnson demanded Walensky clarify whether or not the CDC has performed PRRs on the reported adverse events linked to the administration of COVID-19 vaccine doses and to provide all of the records surrounding those data analyses to his office by July 29.

The senator's demand for answers surrounding the CDC's COVID-19 vaccine monitoring procedures comes about a week after the journal Science Advances published an analysis showing that more than half of women who received the COVID-19 vaccine reported temporary changes to their menstrual cycle.

Forty-two percent of women bled more than usual after vaccination, and 14% reported bleeding less, according to the analysis. Forty-four percent of women reported no changes to their menstrual cycle following vaccination.
...

My own experience was troubling.  Shortly after taking the vaccine, I had to go to the emergency room when my blood pressure spiked to 199 and I was having chest pains.  After taking the second dose it spiked to 180 and I was again taken to the emergency room.  After the booster, it only went up to 160.  The medical professionals did deal with the blood pressure problem but did not associate it with the vaccine at the time.  I do not know if others had this experience.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
