CDC Caught Burying Report on Real Effects of COVID Vaccine

The CDC reportedly blocked publication of an internal report showing COVID-19 vaccines reduced the risk of urgent care visits and hospitalization.

The delay in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report was attributed to methodology concerns, but it has fueled concerns about political interference.

The episode adds to criticism of anti-vaccine actions linked to HHS leadership, including RFK Jr., and broader pressure on vaccine science.

If a public health agency suppresses evidence of vaccine effectiveness, it can distort guidance, erode trust, and affect access to lifesaving shots.
