What a speedy investigation! CDC admits covid vax may cause stroke and then backtracks?
“Officials declined requests to discuss details of their investigation.“
BS”D
Wow, that was fast.
It’s hard to figure out what came first, the warning, or the reassurance that it was just a mirage. That serious investigation happened SO fast.
(CNN) The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that there is a possible safety issue with the bivalent Covid-19 vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech but that it is unlikely to represent a true risk. The agency said it continues to recommend that people stay up-to-date with Covid-19 vaccines.
The CDC said one of its vaccine safety monitoring systems – a “near real-time surveillance system” called the Vaccine Safety Datalink – detected a possible increase in a certain kind of stroke in people 65 and older who recently got one of Pfizer’s updated booster shots.

Hmm.
That breaking Reuters article warning about the stroke link is dated January 14 on the site, and the link says January 13.
The CNN article is dated January 13.
But the NYT article reassuring us that it was just a “mirage”, that all is well and there is no stroke link after all, is also dated January 13. 🤔
Honestly, I’m confused! All of these news sites are always such reliable sources of true information. So now I don’t know who to believe. 😂
Fears that the Covid booster shots made by Pfizer-BioNTech may increase the risk of strokes in people aged 65 and older were not borne out by an intensive scientific investigation, federal officials said on Friday.
“It is very unlikely” that the risk is real, the officials said. They urged Americans 6 months and older to continue getting booster shots. Federal officials decided to disclose the concern and the results of their investigation despite worries that the revelation might fuel anti-vaccine sentiment.
“We believe it is important to share this information with the public,” a joint statement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration said.
Officials declined requests to discuss details of their investigation.

With all the trust I have in my dear government, I am positive that there’s absolutely no cause for concern. Let’s just leave all the thinking to them. They are so good at figuring things out quickly. And they always tell the truth.
P.S. Igor Chudov raised an interesting point:
Is the CDC Lying? 130 People had Strokes, but "Nobody Died". How is That Possible?
It is implausible to have 130 strokes and NO DEATHS.
He quoted CNN:
If we are to believe the CDC, out of 130 seniors who had strokes soon after their boosters, “nobody died.”
I would be very glad if that were the case, of course. But is it possible?
CDC has a page explaining the risk of dying from strokes.
Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. Every 3.5 minutes, someone dies of stroke.
3.5 minutes is 210 seconds. So, every stroke victim has a 40/210, or roughly one out of five, chance of dying. (1 out of 5.25, to be precise)
Had this exact ratio applied to the 130 reported stroke sufferers from the Vaccine Safety Datalink story, we would expect to have 25 persons who would end up deceased.
The CDC wants us to believe that “nobody died.” I estimated the chance of that as:
So, the chance that all 130 strokes ended with NO deaths is one out of one trillion. (1.17*10^-12)
Let me ask you a question: did we witness a ONE OUT OF TRILLION RANDOM COINCIDENCE, or is the CDC lying about “nobody dying" from stroke” out of 130 booster-related stroke victims?
I know that we are observing a lot of coincidences lately… But this one is pushing the limits of my credulity…
That was Igor. He’s a skeptic. I’m inclined to believe the government! There is NO link between the shots and the strokes! It was easy for them to figure that out the same day they noticed the safety signal. And NOBODY died of those 130 strokes anyway.
There’s only one thing I don’t understand. Why did they bother warning us?
Wow. We are really descending into our own human wreckage currently. Scrapping the bottom of the old irrational barrel. An ouroboros loop of irrational thought and self destruction. Maybe there is a hope of things looking up from this untenable impasse?
"Why did they bother warning us?" Plausible deniability. When the Nuremberg 2.0 trials begin, the defense will be, "We gave you fair warning!" We will give them fair warning as they are led to the gallows.
