US Officials Concede No Active Surveillance on Long-Term Effects of COVID-19 Vaccines

A congressional subcommittee questioned CDC and FDA officials over efforts to monitor adverse events that may still manifest from original COVID-19 vaccines.

In a Feb. 15 hearing by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, U.S. health officials side-stepped a question when asked whether the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is actively conducting extended safety surveillance on those who received early COVID-19 vaccines.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) asked Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDAโ€™s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, whether the FDA is conducting active surveillance and if there are any specific health markers theyโ€™re studying that may signal trends requiring further inquiry.

โ€œEvery time we go through and do the safety surveillance, we start back, and it goes back to 2020. In some cases where weโ€™re looking for certain things, we might use a different window, but indeed, we have to look from the beginning of the period of surveillance. I can turn it over to Dr. Jernigan because he can speak for CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] in that regard,โ€ Dr. Marks said.

โ€œSo with regard to myocarditis, we certainly have been monitoring the issue with various different data systems. I think the most recent data really demonstrates that youโ€™re about eight times less likely to get myocarditis if youโ€™re vaccinated compared to those that are unvaccinated,โ€ Dr. Daniel Jernigan, director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases at the CDC responded.

Rep. Malliotakis told Jernigan she wanted to know about โ€œeverything,โ€ not just myocarditis.

Dr. Jerrigan asked her to repeat the question, and she asked again whether the FDA was conducting extended safety surveillance on early recipients of COVID-19 vaccines.

โ€œMost of the reports that we get of adverse events are in the few weeks following the vaccination,โ€ Jernigan said. In terms of monitoring these over time, Jernigan said the agency has โ€œvaccine effectivenessโ€ systems in place at the CDC.

Neither Jernigan nor Marks referenced any active surveillance initiatives being undertaken by their agencies to monitor people who received the original COVID-19 vaccines for long-term health effects.

โ€œThere is no system in place for long-term vaccine safety surveillance in this country,โ€ Ms. Liz Willner, founder of OpenVAERS, told The Epoch Times.
