Biden officials hid deadly health risks of COVID vaccines, bombshell Congressional report reveals

The Biden administration has been accused of purposefully covering up potentially deadly side effects of the Covid vaccines.
A Congressional investigation found White House officials held back warnings about heart damage from Covid vaccines in younger people, even after getting early alerts from other countries, including Israel.
Internal emails and memos suggest a planned Health Alert Network (HAN) message by the CDC regarding myocarditis was not released.
Drafts of this alert reportedly downplayed risks, emphasizing vaccine benefits over potential adverse events, according to the report.
Emails indicate FDA officials, including then-Commissioner Janet Woodcock, expressed reservations about the language in the proposed HAN, leading to its suppression.
The Biden administration, the report alleges, gave former top infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci talking points to downplay the myocarditis risk, instructing them to say that the reported cases ‘have been mild and often go away without requiring treatment.’
The probe was led by Sen Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, and chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
Johnson, known for his critical stance on COVID-19 vaccine policies, said: 'I think we finally got enough documents to certainly demonstrate in this case… that the federal government was well aware of myocarditis.’
Internal emails revealed by the committee show the CDC drafted a nationwide Health Alert Network (HAN) warning in May 2021 but it was scrapped when faced with pushback at the FDA, with Woodcock emailing then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky that the agency ‘does not concur’ with the decision to issue the warning.
‘The same day, they decided to nix it and instead publish less formal clinical myocarditis considerations on the CDC website,’ Sen Johnson said.
The report also slams the former administration for apparently prioritizing Big Pharma over public health, showing federal agencies were in contact with Moderna and Pfizer about reports of the heart condition.
The combined effort to obscure safety concerns about the new Covid vaccines, according to Republicans, undermined Americans’ health and safety.
The committee alleges that two months after the Covid vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna were granted authorization from the FDA, it began monitoring an uptick in cases of myocarditis in young men aged 16 to 30 in Israel and communicating with health officials there.
The US agencies were alerted to ‘large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people’ in Israel on February 28. A few days later, US representatives wrote back, acknowledging around 27 cases, though they acknowledged that the risk of getting the condition was low.
A few weeks after Israeli officials presented shocking data at the CDC’s Vaccine Safety Technical Group, the agency prepared a national warning about the heart inflammation risk through its Health Alert Network (HAN).
This system is how the CDC quickly shares important health warnings with doctors, public health officials, and medical labs across the country..
Meanwhile, the report reveals CDC officials privately briefed Pfizer and Moderna about the potential myocarditis warning while keeping the American public in the dark.
Despite the VaST work group’s consensus by May 17, 2021, that providers needed myocarditis warnings, leadership stalled until late June - a critical six-week gap when millions of young Americans received doses without this safety context.
According to the report: ‘Given that CDC officials were aware of the growing risk of myocarditis coupled with the lack of nationwide reporting about it, it would make the issuance of the HAN not only useful, but extremely necessary.
‘However, CDC officials ultimately decided against the formal HAN message on myocarditis, potentially leaving the public and health care providers less informed about the cardiac-related risks of the COVID-19 vaccines.’
The side effect is rare, but exactly how rare is still being debated. A major 2021 study in Israel put the rate at one in 50,000. Other studies have come to vastly different estimates.
While most cases are mild, in rare instances, myocarditis can damage the heart and make it difficult for it to pump blood, eventually leading to heart failure, heart attack, and stroke.
The CDC’s voluntary side effect reporting database VAERS, has logged over 1,600 cases of myocarditis in the US, primarily in young men 12 to 29, after they received a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, which relies on mRNA technology to teach the immune system how to fight Covid.
The report suggests the actual number is likely higher due to VAERS's passive surveillance system missing cases.
Covid infection itself poses significantly higher risks of heart complications, hospitalizations, and long-term damage than the vaccine, though.
