The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had kept confidential reports of adverse events linked to COVID vaccines, including facial paralysis, seizures, and miscarriages.
780,000 reports from about 523,000 people have been released after a US federal court order (part of a lawsuit by the Freedom Coalition of Doctors for Choice) mandated their disclosure.
Beyond those adverse events mentioned, the list of complications reported among vaccine recipients also included heart-inflammation, tinnitus, and even suicidal thoughts.
The free-text entries, where individuals described their experiences, were collected shortly after the vaccine rollout as part of V-safe, a CDC monitoring system using check the box surveys and text messages.
Previously released documents show that the CDC was aware of the potential for vaccine induced myocarditis, but the free-text section of V-safe was the sole avenue for individuals to report such events.
For years, the CDC chose not to release the V-safe data publicly. However, data from a separate 2022 lawsuit reveals that nearly 8% of the 10 million users sought medical attention or hospital care post-vaccination. Many others experienced disruptions to daily life such as missing school or work.
