The agency was forced by a federal judge to disclose the reports.
Another stated, “Diagnosed with Bells Palsy today due to left-sided facial numbness and paralysis.”
People lodged the reports with V-safe, a text-message system created by the CDC to monitor for possible side effects of COVID-19 vaccines.
Multiple people said things were so bad that they were struggling with suicidal thoughts.
“For 24 hrs after [the] shot I was so fatigued I could not stay awake. I also have some very strong suicidal thoughts. Zero appetite,” one individual wrote.
Another person said they experienced symptoms of an allergic reaction.
“I read where [sic] this vaccine should not be administered to anyone allergic to PEG and I am allergic to PEG. It would be incredibly reassuring if someone would call me as all I run into is dead ends,” the individual said.
Judge Kacsmaryk’s order came in litigation brought by the Freedom Coalition of Doctors for Choice. The other suit over V-safe data came from the Informed Consent Action Network.
The fact that a lawsuit was needed to compel the production of the V-safe data “is yet another shameful chapter in the decades-long history of federal health officials trying to cover up vaccine risks by ignoring patterns of vaccine reaction symptoms in reports made to the government,” Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center, told The Epoch Times after reviewing the new data.
“When people report the same symptoms over and over again after getting a biological product—in this case ’shortness of breath‘ and ’heart palpitations,' which are both symptoms of myocarditis, that has been causally linked to mRNA COVID shots—the public should be warned, not kept in the dark. It raises questions about what else government health officials are hiding.”
The free-text entries are not dated. Elizabeth Brehm, an attorney representing the Freedom Coalition of Doctors for Choice, said the group is seeking the dates of the reports from the CDC. The group does know that the entries are the earliest ones received by the CDC. V-safe was launched as the vaccines were rolled out in late 2020. The rest of the entries are expected to be produced on a rolling basis. Ms. Brehm is a partner at Siri & Glimstad LLP, which also represents the Informed Consent Action Network.
A CDC spokesperson declined to answer many questions, including those related to the dates of entries.
She said the information from VAERS helped detect problems that the agency now acknowledges are caused by the vaccines, including myocarditis.
