By January 1, 2021 daily Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports received by CDC’s contractor General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) exceeded the expected worse case scenario of 1,000/day, this actually happened within 6 days of US roll out. [1]
On August 27, 2020 the CDC awarded GDIT a $35.4 million contract to manage the incoming VAERS reports. The FOIA’d “contract states that they were expecting up to 1,000 VAERS reports to be filed per day, with up to 40% of the reports being serious in nature”, up from the historical 5%. Reports exceeded 4,500/day on January 11, 2021.
Stories of vaccine injury were flooding social media in early January…but these were censored by Facebook and Twitter!
A month later on February 12, 2021 The New York Times reported that 34 million Americans had received a COVID-19 vaccine, but that “numerous federal health officials” had told them the FDA safety monitoring system “won’t be capable of analyzing safety data for weeks or months”! The Times also stated that “few serious problems have been reported through” VAERS and”no deaths have conclusively been linked to the vaccines.”
In February GDIT was asking for a 7 digit ID code to cope with the huge influx, as well as additional symptom codes, they reported processing a “record high” of over 40,000 VAERS reports in February, but have a backlog of 115,000 reports, and by March GDIT renegotiated their contract to accommodate a “minimum” of 25, 000 reports/week which approximates to 3570/day! In March they processed 60,200 reports, but were still “unable to keep up with the increased surge in reports”. They empolyed “over 90” backlog staffing positions – which continued every month for 2021. [2]
Mean while Fauci and Biden et al were claiming safe and effective!
