"Two CDC scientists revealed that the report found COVID vaccines drastically minimize risk of hospitalization after catching the virus, with vaccinated adults reducing their risk of urgent care visits by 50 percent and hospital stays by 55 percent compared to unvaccinated individuals."
"Dr. Bhattacharya wants to make sure that the paper uses the most appropriate methodology for such a study, according to Andrew Nixon, a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services."
"The secretary has already taken steps to try and remove the availability of the vaccine from children and others, stated former CDC safety director Daniel Jernigan, highlighting the inconsistency with the message of vaccine effectiveness."
The Trump administration has reportedly obstructed the publication of a CDC report affirming the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in reducing hospitalization risks. The report indicated that vaccinated healthy adults had a 50% lower risk of urgent care visits and a 55% lower risk of hospitalization compared to unvaccinated individuals. Despite the study's findings, Jay Bhattacharya, acting director of the CDC, delayed its release, citing methodological concerns. This action aligns with previous efforts by HHS officials to limit vaccine access, raising questions about the administration's commitment to public health.
