In what one critic called a “whitewash of the horrible truth regarding COVID-19 vaccines,” a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine confirmed a causal link between mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis — but rejected a causal link between the vaccines and a host of other adverse effects.

A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) confirmed a causal link between mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis — but rejected a causal link between the vaccines and a host of other adverse effects including female infertility, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Bell’s palsy, thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome and heart attack.
Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer for Children’s Health Defense, called the NASEM report a “whitewash of the horrible truth regarding COVID-19 vaccines.”
Hooker told The Defender:
“The propaganda is so thick in the report it is difficult to know where to start. Although the NASEM report authors found a link between mRNA vaccines and myocarditis, they said it was mild — which couldn’t be further from the truth. It is shameful that they would downplay such a debilitating and life-changing adverse event from COVID-19 vaccines.”
The Health Resources and Services Administration, a subagency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), sponsored the report. According to a NASEM press release, Health Resources asked NASEM to convene a committee to review the evidence of adverse events related to COVID-19 vaccines used in the U.S.
The Health Resources and Services Administration oversees the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program, which handles claims by people seeking compensation for a COVID-19 vaccine injury.
NASEM’s 15-member committee reviewed evidence of 19 potential harms related to COVID-19 vaccines for which people had submitted compensation claims. The committee sought to “make conclusions about the causal association between vaccines and specific adverse events,” the report said.
The list of conditions people sought compensation claims for included Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, Bell’s palsy, transverse myelitis, chronic headache, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, capillary leak syndrome, myocardial infarction (heart attack), ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, venous thromboembolism, myocarditis, pericarditis, sudden death and female infertility.
“Our committee found that in many cases, if not most, evidence was insufficient to accept or reject causality for a particular potential harm from a specific COVID-19 vaccine,” said Committee Vice Chair Anne Bass, professor of clinical medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, and a rheumatologist at the Hospital for Special Surgery and New York Presbyterian Hospital.
“In other cases, we did find sufficient evidence to favor rejection, favor acceptance, or establish causality,” she added.
‘Insufficient evidence’ to draw conclusions about COVID shots and kids
Bass and the other committee members examined evidence related to Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA shots (Comirnaty and Spikevax, respectively), the non-mRNA Novavax shot and the non-mRNA Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) shot.
They said the evidence established a causal relationship between both mRNA vaccines and myocarditis.
However, they concluded there was inadequate evidence to accept or reject a causal relationship between any of the vaccines and pericarditis without myocarditis, and inadequate evidence to accept or reject a causal relationship between either the Novavax or Janssen shots and myocarditis.
The authors said the evidence was strong enough to reject a causal relationship between the two mRNA vaccines and infertility, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Bell’s palsy, thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome and heart attack, while noting the Janssen shot may cause thrombocytopenia and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
They also said there was inadequate evidence to accept or reject a causal relationship for ischemic stroke for all vaccine types — except Pfizer’s shot for which they considered the evidence strong enough to warrant rejecting a causal relationship.
The committee also reviewed studies on adverse events related to COVID-19 vaccines in children under 18 and said it found insufficient evidence to make conclusions specific to children.
“At the time of the committee’s review,” the press release said, “data on children were only available for the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, due to later authorization of COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use in children, and decreased uptake of COVID-19 vaccines in children, particularly those younger than 11.”
Meanwhile, a 2024 peer-reviewed study that analyzed data in VigiBase — the World Health Organization’s global individual case safety report database — found evidence of harm to youth ages 12-17 following COVID-19 vaccination.
By July 2023, there were 80,018 reports in VigiBase of adverse events related to the COVID-19 shots — and 3,594 were flagged as adverse events of special interest, such as myocarditis/pericarditis, multisystem inflammatory syndrome/Kawasaki disease, anaphylaxis, Guillain-Barré syndrome and immune thrombocytopenia, the study authors said.
Additionally, many children have individually gone public with their experiences of being harmed by COVID-19 vaccines, according to Real Not Rare, an “independent, grass-roots movement comprised of thousands of people who have become united through our human suffering.”
Hooker pointed out NASEM’s report was directed by Kathleen Stratton, Ph.D., “who was in charge of covering up the relationship between vaccines and autism for the Institute of Medicine back in 2004.”
“She retired from NASEM after that fraudulent report just to be brought back for the COVID-19 ‘vaccine’ fraud,” Hooker said. “Her condemnation is well-deserved.”
