The FDA Has the Results of a Study Into Myocarditis Caused by the Vaccine.
But They Won't Let the Public See Those Results.
Plus: GAINZZZ

You paid for this study -- but you can't see it.

I'm sure that means that there's no connection between the non-vaccinating vaccine and myocarditis, huh?

The FDA still lists the studies they required as "ongoing," but when asked the FDA admits that they have the results in hand. They just won't let anybody see them.

The Epoch Times:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received results from two studies of subclinical heart inflammation following Moderna COVID-19 vaccination, but is refusing to release them to the public--at least for now.

FDA officials in January 2022 directed Moderna to run three prospective studies on subclinical myocarditis, or heart inflammation without symptoms, after COVID-19 booster vaccination. One study, mRNA-1273-P204, would examine the incidence of subclinical myocarditis in children aged 6 months through 11 years. Another, mRNA-1273-P203, would examine the incidence in adolescents aged 12 years through 17 years. The third, mRNA-1273-P301, would examine the incidence in adults.

Moderna has shared the results of the P203 study with the FDA, an FDA spokeswoman told The Epoch Times in an email. But she declined to provide them. To obtain the results, she said, The Epoch Times would need to request them under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Epoch Times submitted the FOIA requests, but the FDA refuses to release the information.

Jessica Adams, a former FDA officer, asked for the P301 study results in July. She requested quick processing because, according to cardiologists, subclinical myocarditis can result in serious problems. She cited a recent study that discovered some sudden deaths in South Korea were caused by myocarditis, even though no inflammation was detected until autopsy.

The matter "represents an urgent and imminent threat to young people who may be mandated to take this vaccine," Ms. Adams told the FDA.

A number of U.S. colleges have required COVID-19 vaccination for attendance. Some are requiring the newest version of the shots from Moderna, Pfizer, and Novavax, even though they were authorized with human data from just 50 people.

The FDA rejected the bid for quick processing.

"You have not demonstrated a compelling need that involves an imminent threat to the life or physical safety of an individual," Sarah Kotler, an FDA FOIA official, told Ms. Adams. "Neither have you demonstrated that there exists an urgency to inform the public concerning actual or alleged federal government activity."

Strom draws the obvious conclusions:

We can all be pretty certain that if the results were "Hey, no problem, everything is cool with the vax," we would have seen the results immediately. This is pretty good evidence that the results are something that looks quite a bit different, although I admit this is only speculation.

But it is speculation based on years of experience being gaslit by our public health establishment. They seem allergic to telling us the truth.

City Journal reminds us of just how corrupt the our Health Lords have been throughout this.

In dozens of interviews, dating to the start of the pandemic, Fauci, Collins, and others expressed bland assurances that the new virus must have spilled into the human population from a wild animal. The idea that the Wuhan Institute might have been involved was dismissed as "just a conspiracy theory," in Fauci's words. But the recently disclosed communications reveal that behind the scenes, many of the world's top virologists worried that the SARS-CoV-2 virus had leaked from the Wuhan lab. Worse, some feared that its terrifying transmissibility might be due to genetic manipulation.

The panic started in late January 2020, soon after a brave Chinese scientist published the full genome of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, allowing researchers to see just what they were up against. Swarms of anxious emails flew between experts around the world, many directed to or including Fauci and other U.S. officials. On January 31, Kristian Andersen, a prominent virologist with Scripps Research, emailed Fauci that "Some of the features (potentially) look engineered." In another email, Andersen fretted that "the lab escape version of this is just so friggin' likely to have happened because they were already doing this type of work and the molecular data is fully consistent with that scenario."

On February 1, Fauci and about a dozen leading scientists discussed the question on a conference call. It remains unclear just what was said on that call, but overnight the group began working to discredit the very idea of a lab leak, which Andersen suddenly began calling one of the "main crackpot theories going around at the moment." Fauci suggested that Andersen and several others produce a scientific paper making the case for a natural origin and putting to rest any fears that the virus had leaked from a lab. That paper, "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2," appeared in Nature on March 17, 2020. Its authors didn't just lean toward the theory that Covid spilled over from some animal species; they categorically rejected any other approach, writing, "we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible."

In later interviews and testimony, Andersen, Fauci, and others maintained that their sudden embrace of the zoonotic-origin thesis was simply the scientific process at work. But the newly uncovered texts and emails show that, even as they worked on a paper dismissing the lab-leak possibility, many of these scientists still thought it highly likely. One "Proximal Origin" coauthor wrote that, given the research that had been going on at Wuhan, "we have a nightmare of circumstantial evidence to assess." Another noted that the virus "seems to have been pre-adapted for human spread since the get go." And, contrary to Fauci's public insistence that the Wuhan lab work didn't merit the label "gain-of-function," the same scientists routinely described the Wuhan research using that term. "It's not crackpot to suggest this could have happened," yet another "Proximal Origin" coauthor wrote on Slack, "given the Gain of Function research we know is happening." Most damningly, in a February 2020 email, Fauci himself wrote, "scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments" involving bat viruses.

When the "Proximal Origin" paper came out, Fauci and Collins greeted it as if it had spontaneously emerged from a group of disinterested, independent researchers. In a letter posted on the NIH website, Collins wrote, "this study leaves little room to refute a natural origin for Covid-19. And that's a good thing because it allows us to keep focused on what really matters: observing good hygiene, practicing social distancing, and supporting . . . dedicated health-care professionals and researchers." Collins's happy talk was part of a pattern: NIH and NIAID officials would do almost anything to keep the public from asking about the origins of Covid. They much preferred to concentrate on telling the American public how to behave.

Of course, the "Proximal Origin" paper did not emerge spontaneously. As journalist David Zweig writes, "Fauci and Collins were so closely involved with the paper that in internal communications among the paper's five authors they referred to the pair as the 'Bethesda Boys'." The digital trail strongly suggests that the Bethesda Boys pushed the team to be more emphatic in rejecting the possibility of a laboratory origin (though there was then no solid evidence for or against either scenario). And the scientist-authors themselves were hardly disinterested. Virus labs are expensive operations, and the NIH and NIAID control more than $1 billion in grant money. Andersen, for example, had an $8.9 million NIAID grant pending at the time. Fauci signed off on it two months after "Proximal Origin" was published.

From Shellenberger's Public, remember that story about the CIA bribing its experts -- six of seven who favored the lab leak theory -- to change their findings to protect China and Fauci?

The former director of the US National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci, who led the US government's response to the coronavirus pandemic, visited CIA headquarters to "influence" its review of COVID-19 origins, the House Oversight Committee reported yesterday.

Last month, Committee Chair Brad Wenstrup made headlines when he revealed that seven CIA analysts "with significant scientific expertise" on the agency's COVID-19 Discovery Team (CDT) received performance bonuses after changing a report to downplay concerns about a possible lab origin of the virus.

Now, a months-long investigation by Racket and Public, which included interviews with the CIA whistleblower behind last month's revelations and others in a position to know, reveals that Fauci not only visited the CIA but also pushed the controversial "Proximal Origin of SARS CoV-2" paper, published by Nature Medicine, in meetings at the State Department and the White House.

As you know, Fauci is the hidden, secret author-in-fact of this paper -- or let's call him the "producer" of this work, as he ordered it into being and shepherded its creation -- and gave $8.9 million in grants to its disclosed authors, but pretended he just came across this random paper written by people he totes didn't know. You know all that. I won't belabor that point.

Now, the new information from multiple sources, including a CIA whistleblower, a senior government investigator, and a senior official, suggests a broad effort by Fauci to go agency by agency, from the White House to the State Department to the CIA, in an effort to steer government officials away from looking into the possibility that COVID-19 escaped from a lab.

"Fauci's expert opinions were a significant consideration and were part of our classified assessment," said the CIA whistleblower, a decorated and long-serving CIA officer with expertise in Asia. "His opinion substantially altered the conclusions that were subsequently drawn."

Fauci had reasons to push scientists and intelligence analysts to believe the virus had a zoonotic origin since his agency had issued a grant to fund research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China.

The Wenstrup press release noted that the whistleblower's information suggested Fauci was escorted in "without record of entry." According to the CIA whistleblower, the CIA purposely did not "badge" Fauci in and out of the building so as to hide any record that he had been there.

"Fauci came to our building, to promote the natural origin of the virus," the CIA whistleblower said. "He knew what was going on. I mean, you see all the redacted documents that are coming out. He was covering his ass and he was trying to do it with the Intel community... I know he came multiple times and he was treated like a rockstar by the Weapons and Counter Proliferation Mission Center. And, he pushed the Kristian Anderson paper."

That is, the Proximal Origins paper which Fauci was the secret author-in-fact of.

[T]he sources all describe Fauci using the "Proximal Origin" paper to dismiss the lab leak theory and stress the natural origin theory to various government investigators and through informal rather than formal channels. These claims are supported by the testimony of "Proximal Origin" authors Kristian Andersen of Scripps Research and Robert Garry of Tulane University. Both men told Congress last summer that they consulted to intelligence agencies, including the CIA.

Grant records show that Andersen had a multi-million dollar NIH grant proposal pending while he wrote "Proximal Origin." Fauci's oversight of the paper and the fact that he had an authors' grant on his desk put him in a clear position of power over scientists' conclusions.

In 2022, the CIA revisited its origins investigation, according to the whistleblower. In one meeting that year, Fauci berated a CIA analyst who expressed the view that COVID came from a lab, according to the whistleblower. Six out of seven analysts concluded that a lab leak was most likely.

But then, after the intervention of senior agency personnel, the CIA changed its assessment of COVID's origin from lab leak to unknown, said the whistleblower. The CIA gave the analysts "Exceptional Performance Awards" that came with cash bonuses.

Rand Paul: Everything these evil rats were saying publicly, they were saying the opposite behind closed doors.

"Everything that Anthony Fauci and his cohorts, these other virologists were saying publicly, they were saying the opposite privately," Paul said. "Then it turns out that many of the people that were appointed to be part of this all had quiet interests that they weren't willing to reveal. Including Anthony Fauci. When I asked him directly under oath whether or not he was receiving royalties from any of the companies manufacturing vaccines, he refused to answer. When I asked him whether anybody on the committee was receiving royalties he lashed out and accused me of something but would never answer the question."

"So there really are some big, big questions and some reforms that should be obvious to everybody," Paul said. "You shouldn't be allowed to be voting on a committee if you're receiving money from the companies that are going to make billions of dollars because of your decision. We have uncovered a lot of conflicts of interest here. There's much to be done. I've referred Anthony Fauci twice for criminal prosecution by the Department of Justice. As you know, Merrick Garland will probably not go down in history as the most objective of Attorneys General. So I don't have much luck. But other than prosecuting Anthony Fauci, it is important to remember that the truth be told and that people see the evidence laid out as that this virus did come from a lab. It came from gain of function research that we were funding, that Anthony Fauci was funded."
