Critique of CDC Data Withholding

In my opinion, withholding scientific data is...

constitutes fraud. This is scientific fraud, in my opinion.

If I was to publish a study in which I had a large body of

epidemiologic data and I decided to only public-

publish part of it

because I wanted to advance some agenda, I would be

guilty of scientific fraud. The paper would be withdrawn.

I would be kicked out of my academic institution.

I would be guilty of scientific fraud. That's what this is.

And the CDC has, I've watched it over the years,

become more and more and more a political arm and

not serving its, its function. This is the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention. They are the, the

archive of information which physicians have relied

on for decades through the m- for the, through the MMWR

publication. They are the ones that are responsible pro- for providing

us the frontline data about what's going on and where it's

happening. They have stopped performing

that function.

They no longer release that detailed information through

MMWR. They have become purely a political

organization and an arm of the executive branch,

and what they have done is, in my opinion,

obscene. Um, and it is part of what's underlied

the attacks that Peter and I have sustained from the

press. If you unders- if you think about it,

the underlying thesis

is, well, the CDC didn't say that, so therefore, you're spreading

medical in- misinformation. But now we learn who's really

been spreading medical in- misinformation is the CDC.

I think we're all owed an apology. I think that this data

that they have been re-

withholding, it's not just the eighteen to

forty-nine-year-old

triple boost efficacy data. It is a ton of

information. They've been intentionally withholding it.

That's why we've been attacked. It is unjust.

We are the ones... It turns out we are completely

vindicated. We have been speaking truth, and it's a truth that's been

hidden from the American public, and more important,

it's been hidden from other

physicians, and it's been hidden from public health

authorities
