U.S.\u00a0Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>\u00a0(CDC) officials were alerted that they spread misinformation about child\u00a0COVID-19<\/a>\u00a0deaths but still did not issue corrections, according to emails obtained by The Epoch Times.<\/p>\n

Drs. Katherine Fleming-Dutra and Sara Oliver were told within days of presenting to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the CDC\u2019s vaccine advisory panel, in June that statistics from a preprint study they shared were wrong,\u00a0the emails show<\/a>. But after internal discussion about how to respond, neither the CDC nor the officials corrected the false information.<\/p>\n

Fleming-Dutra and Oliver both referenced the study, which has not been peer reviewed, while the CDC\u2019s advisers weighed whether to recommend the agency grant emergency authorization for COVID-19 vaccines for babies and toddlers.<\/p>\n

The committee ultimately recommended the CDC authorize Pfizer and Moderna shots for children as young as 6 months of age and the CDC quickly\u00a0accepted the recommendation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A week later, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky\u00a0appeared to cite the false statistics<\/a>\u00a0while urging parents to get their children vaccinated, despite no evidence the vaccines protect against severe illness and despite the clinical trials returning\u00a0substandard<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0unreliable<\/a> results for shielding against infection.<\/p>\n

Kelley Krohnert, a citizen researcher and mother who flagged the preprint, triggered the internal discussions among CDC officials, according to the emails. When Krohnert pointed Fleming-Dutra to a blog post that detailed the issues with the study, Fleming-Dutra sent the email to others, including Oliver.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not sure who this should go through. Let me know what I need to do,\u201d Fleming-Dutra said.<\/p>\n

Megan Freedman, a CDC health communications specialist, looped in a CDC spokeswoman, and they informed Fleming-Dutra that she and other subject matter experts \u201cwould need to determine if there\u2019s any validity to the complaint.\u201d If the complaint was deemed valid, possible next steps might include pulling the slide or adding a footnote, Freedman said.<\/p>\n

Oliver jumped in, saying that Krohnert \u201cappears [redacted], but there are my thoughts.\u201d Her thoughts were redacted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure you guys can make it sound prettier, but something like this would be how I would respond,\u201d Oliver said. \u201cAnd the general sentiment that \u2018even 1 death from COVID that\u2019s preventable is too many, regardless of how you count them.’\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no evidence any of the COVID-19 vaccines prevent death for small children.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove it \u2013 thank you for sending!!!\u201d Freedman said.<\/p>\n
